About Voiceless Moments Dog Sanctuary
What We Do
At Voiceless Moments Dog Sanctuary, we provide a safe and loving environment for dogs that no longer fit in society because of their medical conditions. Our approach is centered on compassion and care, as we prioritize the well-being of every dog in our care. We also work towards educating the public on animal care and providing assistance to those who need help caring for their pets. Our goal is to keep animals in their homes and out of shelters whenever possible.
Our History
The family that started Voiceless Moments Dog Sanctuary began rescuing animals in 2011. I, Charlee, founder and director of Voiceless Moments Dog Sanctuary and Rescue, worked with a local Stewart County rescue for 10 years. For the many years that I was with this rescue it seemed that most of the medical and senior cases came to my home. A lot of individuals do not want to take on a dog that already has issues. This year we decided to branch off and start a sanctuary dedicated to dogs with medical disabilities and senior dogs. We applied for and were granted 501c3 status. We specialize in taking in dogs that have medical disabilities and senior dogs. We have taken dogs in of all ages, from puppyhood to senior in age. We love them all. When we take in an animal it is for life. We have worked with several of the local rescues for many years. We do take in strays and abandoned dogs from our service area. Dogs that are deemed healthy by a licensed veterinarian are later adopted to loving families. We house in sanctuary dogs that are under 25 pounds. If a larger dog is in need of aid, we rely on a network of foster families.
