Just look at these cuties! So much love and life to give to make your life richer and more full of love. We have SO many at the shelter, just waiting to come home with you.All Shelter pets know you are saving them but older pets seem to have an extra sense of it. They may need extra care physically or medically so you may want to consider your pocket book before selecting an older pet. In all likelihood, yours will be the last home he or she knows. That's why you're even more important. You won't know the story of the pet. Hopefully it came from a loving home and family but sadly, that is oftentimes not the case. What a wonderful opportunity for you to make sure that pet thoroughly enjoys the remainder of his or her life - as a member of your family, receiving your love and attention. What could be better?
I brought a dog named Peaches into my home several years ago. She had been forgotten by her owners, left outside in a pen no matter what the weather. I was told they would throw food over the fence to her but that was about it. A neighbor of the family asked me to take the dog. I asked if the family wanted to tell her "good-bye" and was told they didn't. I'll always remember how I opened her gate, then opened my car door. She jumped in immediately and never looked back. She inherited four siblings that day and got along perfectly with all of them until her last day. She forever touched my life and I hope I made her final years her best. You can do the same for a shelter dog. Please consider adopting in November, "Adopt-A-Senior-Dog Month".
