Since 2012, senior dogs in the Mount Juliet, Tennessee area have been rejuvenated and given new lives. OFSDS is not concerned with how much time these senior dogs get, they are concerned with making them comfortable and happy. Not only do the dogs get treated like royalty, OFSDS shares their lovable dogs with the world through Facebook. They have over one million 'likes' on Facebook. They post videos, photos, hold contests and offer the chance for people to donate to the nonprofit.

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
