Senior Pets


November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month


There are many senior pets hoping to find their forever home and be loved and cared for by a loving family. Listed below are “Ten Very Good Reasons” to adopt an older pet:

* They're housetrained, YEA!!
* They won't chew on your shoes, furniture and pillows
* They can focus well to learn
* They know what 'no' means
* They settle in easily with the 'pack'
* They're very good at giving love
* What you see is what you get
* They're instant faithful companions
* They’re calm and leave you time for yourself
* They let you get a good night's sleep

And the Best Reason to adopt any pet, especially senior pets, is:
Scientific studies report that living with a pet contributes to a longer, happier and healthier life.
If you’re considering getting a pet, please give a senior pet the forever home they are wishing for.
