Hey there, folks.
I'm Dawn Mimnaugh

Dawn Mimnaugh| Founder & CEO, Woody's Place Senior German Shepherd Sanctuary | Advocate for Senior Dog Welfare | Race Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist.

As the visionary founder and CEO of Woody's Place, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing lifelong care for homeless older German Shepherds, I am passionate about giving a voice to our most vulnerable furry companions. With years of experience in animal welfare, I have created a sanctuary that not only offers shelter but also fosters love and respect for these magnificent dogs.

In addition to my work at Woody's Place, I manage Life with Old Dogs Media, where I share valuable insights on canine nutrition and holistic approaches to caring for senior dogs. My mission is to empower dog owners with knowledge that enhances the quality of life for their beloved dogs in their golden years.
