Thoughts On Senior Pets And Adoption

[Lady's Human]

When we adopted Angel there were 2 beagles in the shelter, George and Gracie, who were in their teens.

They were such sweethearts, but a house with 2 young children isn't he place for them.

I asked about them when I went to drop off some things for the shelter, and they had been adopted. An elderly gentleman (gentleman in every sense of the word, at least relating to pets!) visits the shelter on occasion, and if they have senior pets for adoption and he has room, he adopts them to make sure their time left is spent in a loving home.

I honestly have turned a shoulder to it before. One reason, my parents refused to adopt a dog older than 3 at the time we got Mikey because they didn't want to deal with the heart break. But in the future I sure wouldn't mind giving some deserving seniors a home for their golden years.
