A home for the holidays:
No adoption fee for senior pets.
November is adopt a senior pet month, so most, if not all, animal services are waiving the adoption fees for all “senior” dogs and cats. Senior animals range from 6 years to 8 years and older, depending on where you live or what agency you are planning to adopt from.
Many
people automatically think “puppy” or “”kitten” when they are ready to add a
new dog or kitten to their family.
Puppies and kittens are cute and cuddly, so who can blame anyone for
wanting to adopt one. However, puppies
and kittens demand lots of attention, patience, and training to help them
become a wonderful member of the family.
Honestly, I am one of those people then can not resist a cute little
puppy or kitty, but the older I get the more I realize the need for families to
adopt senior animals, as well as how wonderful it would be to have that older
pet come into my home and not have all that additional potty trainingJ I have come to realize the older dogs and
cats can be just as cute and lovable as puppies or kittens and they often come
with wonderful qualities that take years for puppies and kittens to grow into.
If
you are anything like me, you may be reluctant to adopt an older dog or cat
because you fear the time that you may have with your new furry friend may be
limited. I have come to realize that
every day, every moment that we can love and share a special bond with an older
pet makes that time even more special.
Knowing that we can give an older dog or cat a second chance at life
will give us comfort when the time comes that we can no longer help them.
Adopting
a senior dog or cat can be wonderful experience for you and your new pet, so
here
puppy or kitten.
Senior
pets have an unwavering devotion to their new family.
Senior
pets are instant companions.
Senior
pets are typically housetrained or box trained.
Senior
pets won’t chew like puppies.
Senior
pets are calmer.
Many
senior pets from rescue groups are already trained, medical exams, shots,
spayed or neutered.
Senior
pets make perfect companions for Senior People.
Adopting
a senior dog or cat saves a life!
I
want to share a few resources with you about adopting senior pets and the great
non-profits that continually do amazing work to help dogs and cats find their
forever homes.
AdoptaPet.com
has many resources available to help you find the perfect pet. Visit this link for great information about
adopting pets nationwide: http://www.adoptapet.com/adopt-a-senior-pet If you
are like me, you don’t like to hear statistics, but according to AdoptaPet, 25%
of pets in shelters are purebreds and approximately 4 million pets are put to
sleep each year due to overpopulation.
This non-profit Senior Pet adoption service is sponsored by the pet
lovers at Purina and Advantage II.
