What is The Golden Ears?
The Golden Ears is a partnership between the Humane Society of Greater Dayton and the Senior Resource Connection's Meals on Wheels program. Through this program, we ensure local seniors receiving Meals on Wheels can get the resources they need to keep their pets happy and healthy!
5 Paw Service
Many seniors love and depend on a dog or cat for companionship, but often have difficulty covering costs to keep their pet happy and healthy. Through The Golden Ears partnership, we are able to provide dry pet food to local seniors currently receiving Meals on Wheels.
Your pet’s food will be delivered along with your scheduled meals through the Meals on Wheels/Senior’s Best Friend program.
Participants must be part of the Meals on Wheels program. For more information on how to get involved, contact the Senior Resource Connection at (937) 228-3663 or visit their web site at www.SeniorResourceConnection.com.

Thanks to a partnership grant from Petsmart Charities and Meals on Wheels America, the Humane Society of Greater Dayton and the Senior Resource Connection created The Golden Ears program to help seniors with their pets.
Through the Wags for Wellness Pet Vet Program, we provide top-notch veterinary care for dog and cats at the Dayton Humane Veterinary Hospital including vaccinations, wellness exams, testing and nail trims.
