The Next Chapter

A place for every senior dog to go

After a brief pause in operations to chart a strategic path toward saving as many senior dogs as possible, Cannoli’s Sweet Life has selected a new location in Locust Valley. We are building it out to make possible the dream that every senior dog has a place to go.

a soft place to land

Our Oyster Bay home

Built for comfort, medical care and dignity

Until now, every dog we saved lived in a foster home while they waited for their family. Our Locust Valley location gives senior dogs a home designed around their needs, and gives the rescue room to save more of them.

  • A sanctuary built for the comfort and medical needs of senior dogs

  • Hospice and palliative care for dogs in their final chapter

  • One welcoming place to meet adopters and host adoption events

  • A home base for our amazing volunteers

Why we can do this

Built and run by people who know senior dogs

Hands-on experience

Rescue people with years of hands-on senior-dog care.

Veterinary partners

Partnerships that make complex medical care possible.

Volunteer powered

A community of people who show up for these dogs.

Responsible growth

A board committed to sustainable, careful growth.

One focus

Senior dogs, and senior dogs only.

Two ways we help

This home for seniors who need one, and the Fur-ever Family Fund for seniors who already have one.

Every senior dog deserves one last chapter filled with love. Help us make sure every golden year truly starts here.
