Hey hero,
I need your help today...
Meet Dog #A99271, a 10-year-old white shepherd (see his pic below) who sat for over eight months (nearly 240 days) in a small concrete kennel waiting for a new family after being surrendered.
Despite facing bad skin, severe arthritis, and difficulty getting up, this friendly dog just desperately loved attention. His chance was slim.
Thankfully, on November 17, 2025, a networker sprung him from the shelter to Golden Years Dog Sanctuary.
He has been through so much, and what he truly needs now... is a fresh start.
Help give Dog #A99271 the perfect name to help get him adopted in time for the holidays.
A name is more than a word—it’s a symbol of hope, of love, of belonging. It marks the moment this dog stops being a number... and starts being someone.
Dog #A99271 is suffering from worsening arthritis and needs ongoing medical care to manage his mobility. Your name suggestion shows you care, and when you shop with us, your purchase helps fund rescue efforts like this—feeding, healing, and bringing joy to dogs left behind.
Over the next few days, we’ll be going through every heartfelt name submitted by our incredible iHeartDogs community. Together, we’ll give this boy a name that reflects his strength and the second chance he deserves.
Give them a name. Give them a future.
Thank you for never turning your back on dogs like #A99271.
With gratitude,
Marshall
Co-Founder of iHeartDogs
