Unconditional Love Has No Age:
The Benefits of Adopting a Senior Pet
When it comes to adopting a pet, people often envision a bouncy puppy or playful kitten, but senior pets have an incredible amount to offer. Like their younger counterparts, seniors can have plenty of playful pep and truly appreciate the joy of a comfy lap to curl up in. Seniors can also offer wonderful companionship with less need for extensive training. For Senior Adoption Month, we take a look at the benefits to adopting an older dog or cat, and how it can be an incredibly rewarding choice for both the animal and the adopter.

Senior pets are truly something special. Dogs and cats in their golden years have so much love to give, yet they are often overlooked at shelters when it comes time to adopt. In honor of Senior Adoption Month, your donation can help more of these deserving animals find their forever families and support their care for as long as they need us.
