‘Geezer Gala’ gives old pooches a prom

You may not be able to teach an old dog new tricks, but you can still show them a good time.

That is the ethos behind Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary in Mount Juliet, Tenn., which houses more than 100 dogs over the age of 10 — some with unique medical conditions — all while providing care for another 500 elder pups that they have helped place in foster homes.

Nearly 200 supporters and dozens of dogs turned out for the group’s “Geezer Gala” senior prom April 5, where tutu and bowtie-clad pups were crowned prom king and queen, and funds were raised to help the organization foster out senior dogs and cover their veterinary bills.

“All night long, our caretakers brought dressed-up dogs to the prom and they circulated throughout people,” Zina Goodin, who founded the sanctuary with her husband, Michael, in 2012, told The Post.

The couple came up with the idea after volunteering with a golden retriever organization, where they saw just how many of the highly soughtafter pooches were left on their own in old age.

“We realized that we could make a difference,” Goodin said.

The sanctuary acts as a safety net for the dogs for the rest of their lives. The organization now helps roughly 500 dogs placed in “Geezer Guardian homes,” with owners dedicated to providing top-notch care.

About 100 dogs currently live in the sprawling sanctuary, where they have personalized suites and 24/7 outdoor access.

“I try to make it as home-like as I can because some of them will spend the rest of their lives with us,” Goodin said.
