Senior Animal Medical Aid Fund is a not-for-profit organization which rehabilitates neglected senior animals and provides a spiritual and peaceful safe haven for terminal senior animals and/or senior animals with geriatric issues to retire in. While in our care we will provide PAWSPICE care for our terminal residents to thrive by use of homeopathic remedies. All proceeds raised by SAMA helps provide cozy shelter and nutritious food for senior animals in need, manage a senior animal's health for terminal illnesses or geriatric issues, and to develop humanitarian programs for the youth in our community and beyond.

Our Mission  is to promote and protect the human/animal bond by teaching humane education, promoting change, and by encouraging humans to think about what animals bring into their lives.  We pledge to foster a spiritual and peaceful safe haven for homeless, abused and/or neglected senior animals wherein they can retire with the dignity they deserve. We pledge to stay informed, educate others through our knowledge, and to always be a voice for k-9 cancer. 

 
Why Choose a Senior Animal blkpaw.jpg
Unfortunately, these great companions are often over-looked because of their age. However, consider this... a senior animal brings a sense of calm to any life-style. An active family will keep a senior animal focused and aware, happy, and young at heart! OR a senior animal is terrific match for those individuals with an already laid-back life style- as they too love just kickin' back & being couch potatoes! A senior animal is less demanding as they have already ventured through the puppy or kitty faze- So taking the laid back approach to life is what the senior animals are all about. They are loyal beyond measure as their years have enabled them to foster an understanding of the unique bond between human/animal. They are grateful creatures and wildly understanding. In rescing a senior animal you will have a ready made best friend who is willing and able to 'walk-down' any road with you. To be loved by a senior animal is to be loved in the most unexplainable way!!!!

Because of NI &Roc

The Human/Animal Bond...
My lifelong desire to make a difference for children & animals alike is how SAMA Inc. manifested.  I believe an animal gives  unconditional love which helps mend a broken heart, heal open wounds, restore hope when times seem hopeless.  Animals teach us about ourselves, about life, about our relationships, in short, they teach us how to grow. They unknowingly create a magical love. I spent countless hours advocating for those voiceless warriors.  Early on in my career I became a court liaison to speak for child and animal rights.  I wholeheartedly believe animals heal our souls and bring comfort to us when in despair. Therefore, I wanted to create a unique and powerful way to maintain the magical bond between human and animal. 
In an effort to preserve this bond I set forth to aid underprivileged senior animals by creating a spiritual and peaceful safe haven for them to retire in with the dignity and respect they deserve as well as implement humane education workshops within our community and beyond. Therefore, SAMA, Inc. will intake geriatric animals with special needs, terminal senior animals, and senior animals with geriatric issues that need a warm comfy place to retire in as well as promote, protect, and educate the human/animal bond.  It is my hope that the SAMA Fund will make a difference in the lives of senior animals as well as educate the next generation of their responsibility to care for and love all animals.  

Because of Ni & Roc-  At first glance my two Neapolitan mastiff / pit mutts radiated the same desire to be loved that I often saw with the children I worked with day in and day out.  One had an independent “mischievousness” BEAMING in his big brown eyes, expressing his strength and his love for life; the other standing alone and shaking under a table with “fright” radiating from her sad, scared, and timid self, yearning to be rescued from her bouncy litter mates and horrific living environment.  I knew they not only needed one another, but I, too, needed them both to put their much different characteristics, offerings, and needs into my life to evolve and understand a different kind of compassion, love, care, devotion, and loyalty.  For the next 13 years I continued to work with underprivileged children by teaching humane education with Ni-Ni & Rocky by my side.   

It was through Ni-Ni and Rocky's golden years that I obtained a different kind of love while witnessing an unexplainable bravery as they fought through their illnesses with remarkable strength.  I am forever blessed to have spent 13 years with these two creatures. Knowing them was to love in a deep, powerful, and magical way. Their love and respect for the human/animal bond was exhibited everyday in their grand smiles and beautiful spirits.  Ni-Ni and Rocky showed me the meaning of living life to the fullest while exhibiting continual and unconditional love without pause.  Most importantly, Ni-Ni & Rocky truly taught me the significance of the deep bond between human and animal.  I will always honor them and the gifts they brought into my life.  It is through them, the love I possess for them, and my desire to help children and animals alike that SAMA, Inc. was established.
