Did you know that November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month? Senior dogs make wonderful companions but sadly are often overlooked at shelters and rescues in favor of... younger animals. There are many advantages to adopting a senior pet: * What you see is what you get. There are no surprises when you adopt a mature pet - you know exactly what their size, coat type, grooming needs and exercise needs are. * Most senior dogs are already trained, know basic commands and have good leash manners. They are ready to get out and explore the world with you. * Generally, older dogs have good house-manners (they won't eat your shoes!) and are already housebroken so they require less time and energy to integrate them into your home than younger dogs do. * Mature pets have been around the block a few times and have learned a lot over the years about life's lessons. They tend to be more laid back and settle in easily and adapt to new situations quickly. * Many senior dogs have met a lot of other dogs and have learned how to get along with them. They tend to have good doggie social skills and have a calming influence on younger more rambunctious dogs. * Senior dogs are mellower and more focused than younger dogs making them easier to train. * Senior dogs have lower exercise needs than young dogs so they are well suited to most families. They are often satisfied with a nice walk followed by a nap by the fire. * Senior dogs have so much love to give -- they appreciate a kind hand, a warm bed and love and affection. * When you adopt a senior dog you save a life. Senior dogs make wonderful companions -- if you have been thinking about adding a new dog to your family, please consider adopting a mature dog, you won't be disappointed!
