ADOPT A SENIOR DOG MONTH CONSIDER IT | dog training silhouette

Animal organizations all over the country are observing the month of November as "Adopt a Senior Pet Month."  Some shelters are giving discounts on adoption fees for senior pets and some are giving discounts to senior citizens who adopt senior pets - a double win.

 Sadly, senior pets are often the most overlooked in the shelters as adopters think they need a cute puppy or kitten.  There are many advantages to adopting a senior pet.  Their personalities are already well established making matching a pet with a family easier for adoption counselors.  In most cases they are calmer, already housetrained, they have outgrown any chewing problems and know basic commands.

If you are considering adopting a senior youll want to consider the expense of health care, but in exchange youll gain a great sense of satisfaction in the life youve spared and the love and loyalty youll get in return.

Senior pets still have a ton of love and compassion to share and they make amazing companions, so if you can find it in your heart, consider saving a senior pet.
