Our History

Senior Dogs Are Our Mission

Amazing Volunteers

Mureille’s Place is a small home-based 501c3 non-profit rescue in Northeast PA providing end of life care for senior dogs. We are a no-kill rescue offering a safe haven for unwanted senior dogs until they are adopted or if unadoptable, a place to live out their remaining days with love, dignity and respect.

The sanctuary is located on 7 w

The sanctuary is located on 7 wooded acres that include beautiful walking trails and plenty of safe fenced in areas to wander. We are an all volunteer rescue with no paid staff or board members so all donations go to the rescue operation.

Established in 2006, incorporated & received 501c3 status in 2009 (Fed Tax id 27-1159266). Named for our first senior rescue dog Mureille, (pronounced Mer-Ray) we are supported completely by donations and do not receive any funding from state or federal govt.

We rescue dogs from all over the country from shelters and owner surrenders. Most of our dogs were in desperate need of a safe place to escape euthanasia

MISSION STATEMENT:

To provide a safe haven for senior and unwanted dogs
To provide lifelong quality care for rescued senior dogs
To find suitable homes for adoptable senior dogs
To bring awareness to the public of the often forgotten senior dog
To improve the lives of animals

Senior Dogs Are Our Mission

Our focus is making them happy and comfortable for whatever time they may have left. Quality of life is monitored on a daily basis. Most of our dogs are between 13 & 20 yrs of age and range in size from toy breed to giant breeds. We go above and beyond to ensure every need is met while here. We are a home based rescue. We believe in couches, not cages. Our guys live in groups inside in a home setting. They enjoy safe fenced in areas to wander when they go outside and they have round the clock supervision.

We offer lots of love, excellent vet care, great food without dyes or cheap ingredients, supplements based on illnesses, a holistic approach to improve comfort and in addition to regular vet care, grooming, aromatherapy, and specialized dog music. We've called in Reiki practitioners, canine massage therapists and various other specialized caregivers as necessary.
