At a dog rescue in Winder, senior dogs live in cabins, sleep on couches and eat homemade meals, but the dogs give back as well. The dogs at Frankie and Andy’s Place go to schools, senior centers and adult day centers to provide companionship for people who may need it. “I always dreamed of a place where we would not only bring them in and bring them into something that was a home environment, but also we would give a dog a purpose,” founder Penny Miller said. Miller got the idea for Frankie and Andy’s Place when she encountered Frankie, a Great Dane, at another shelter. “I came across this Great Dane with crooked ears and the craziest combover you’ve ever seen, and he was about to be put down. ... He was the one that made me realize shelters could be different,” Miller said. “He was on a cold, hard floor. There was no bed for him.”
