Welcome to Voiceless Moments Dog Sanctuary
and Rescue

A Loving Home for Disabled Small Dogs and a safe haven for stray and abandoned dogs until they are deemed healthy enough for adoption.

Emergency Situation!!! We have geriatric dogs in need of emergent veterinary care.

We recently took in three geriatric dogs. Their names are Maggie, Zeeke, and Lil Dude. With every day their vet bills are increasing due to their declining health. Below you are able to read more about their current situations. Please consider donating to their veterinary bills so that they may have the best quality of life moving forward. If you prefer to donate directly to our veterinary clinic please call Mineral Wells Veterinary Clinic at 731-642-5699. You can donate to Maggie, Zeeke, or Lil Dude's care under the account Eller (Voiceless Moments).

A Little About Maggie, Zeeke, and Lil Dude

Maggie is a 14-year-old Shit Zu-Poodle mix. Maggie came to us under desperate circumstances. She, along with her previous owner, were in a tragic house fire. Maggie's previous human mom was forced to live in a very small camper. There was no room for Maggie to safely get around. Maggie has extremely bad teeth and two fused discs in her back. We immediately made Maggie an appointment with our vet at Mineral Wells. She got all of her vaccinations brought up to date, a checkup, and a geriatric blood and urine panel done. The results were devastating. Maggie has advanced heart disease, is in desperate need of dental work and teeth pulled and has a bladder infection. The veterinarian has put Maggie on antibiotics for the infection in her mouth and bladder, pain medication for the fused discs, and heart medication to hopefully prevent further damage to Maggie's heart and to help her heart pump more efficiently. Maggie will need follow-up care in the future and maintenance meds for the rest of her life. Maggie was in great need of a groom when she came to us. She had several matts and needed a sanitary to prevent further urine contamination to help recover from the bladder infection.

Lil Dude

Lil Dude came to us under very sad circumstances. Lil Dudes owner of 14 years passed away from medical complications. Lil Dude is a 14-year-old Pomeranian mix. Lil Dude was born with a severe cleft palate. He came to us after being diagnosed with an abscess due to an infected tooth. He came with pain medications and antibiotics. He is at the course of his medication. We got him right into our vets to see what needed to be done. Lil Dude received a full check-up, along with geriatric blood and urine panels. We anxiously await the results. We know for sure that Lil Dude is in great need of extensive dental surgery. Lil Dude also has horrible arthritis for which he will need pain medication for the rest of his life. We will know for sure what other treatment he is in need of when his blood and urine panel come back. We were able to get Lil Dude up to date with his vaccinations and his heartworm test came back negative.

Zeeke, along with his fur brother Lil Dude, came to us under extremely sad circumstances. Zeeke's owner of 15 years passed away from medical complications. Zeeke's family had to make the hard decision to relinquish him to us after they come to terms with not being able to care for him in his geriatric conditions. Zeeke is a 15-year-old Pomeranian mix with severe arthritis and a fused discs in his back. Zeeke was in desperate need of a groom when he came to us. His thick top and under coat had severe matts. We took the time to patiently work with him and get him groomed. He looks like a totally different dog. We got Zeeke into our veterinary clinic with his fur brother Lil Dude. Zeeke had a thorough exam, and it was determined that he was in desperate need of dental surgery. Zeeke also had the geriatric blood and urine panel done. We anxiously await the results to see if he has other unseen medical issues. Zeeke will need to be on pain medications for his back for the rest of his life. Once we find out the results of his lab work, we will know if any more medications are needed.

Welcome to Voiceless Moments Dog Sanctuary and Rescue, a dedicated 501c3 non-profit organization located in Erin, TN. Serving Stewart and Houston Counties, we specialize in special needs dogs under 25 pounds. We also strive to help in the urgent needs of our community's stray and abandoned dog population. These counties have no local animal shelter or animal control. We provide essential care and support on a case-by-case basis. Your generous donations enable us to continue our mission and make a difference in the lives of these deserving animals.

Our family proudly began rescuing dogs in 2011, driven by a commitment to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable animals. I, Charlee Eller, became the founder and president of Voiceless Moments Dog Sanctuary and Rescue in January of 2024. With a decade of experience at a local rescue in Stewart County, I noticed a persistent need for support, especially among disabled and senior dogs. This need inspired me to establish a dedicated sanctuary focused on providing care for these dogs who too often get overlooked.

 

It's a sad truth that many people shy away from adopting senior dogs or those with disabilities. Our mission is to change that narrative. We believe that every family deserves the resources and knowledge necessary to care for their pets. When an owner can no longer care for their beloved dog, we step in to ensure it receives the love and care it deserves.

At Voiceless Moments, we guarantee that every dog in our sanctuary has access to food, water, shelter, and all necessary medical care determined by licensed veterinarians. Dogs with medical issues or disabilities become cherished members of our sanctuary, living out their days surrounded by love. If a dog’s health improves and they become ready for adoption, we work tirelessly to find a suitable and loving family.

For strays and abandoned dogs, we start with a comprehensive intake examination by a licensed veterinarian to ensure each dog is fully vetted. If they are healthy, we actively seek out loving forever homes for them. Our unwavering commitment is to create a world where every dog, regardless of age or ability, is cherished and given the opportunity to thrive in a nurturing environment. Join us in making a difference—every life matters.

Your donations will go towards all care that animals in house receive. This includes food, basic necessities, and medical care.
