The elderly dogs sleep in custom-made king-sized beds and paddle in their own hydotherapy pool.

Chris and Mariesa were inspired to give elderly dogs the best life possible by their first dog, Mr Moses We don’t say that lightly – they’ve spent $55,000 refitting their house to make it ideal for 20 senior and special needs rescue dogs, after the death of their first dog, Mr Moses, left their hearts broken.

‘We sold everything we had to get him alternative treatments but ultimately, he died five weeks later.‘Our niche is that we pay medical expenses for the rest of the dog’s life which is a terrible and wonderful idea.’The couple’s organisation has saved hundreds of dogs from euthanasia and is a non-profit, so along with caring for hundreds of dogs, Chris has to work full-time from home and Mariesa works as an occupational therapist to cover all the costs.

Caring for their own pups is another major expense. Chris and Mariesa have spent thousands customising their home to make it as comfortable as possible for the 20 elderly dogs who permanently reside in their home. Mariesa, who sleeps with the majority of her pets each night, says: ‘We have two king-size beds next to each other because so many of the dogs want to sleep with us.
