Because it’s so hard to resist an adorable little puppy licking your face, older dogs often get overlooked by those wanting to adopt a pet.
November is Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month, and it’s the perfect time to give an older animal a loving home. Older pets are often easier to care for than their younger counterparts because they’re already trained, they’re more laid back and are less likely to destroy your house!
Check your local shelter or humane society for special promotions this month. The Escondido Humane Society, for example, is cutting its seniors’ adoption fee by 50% in November so for only $27.50 (which includes microchip, up-to-date vaccinations, spay/neuter and more), you can take home any animal older than 7 years.
Imagine how you would want to live out your golden years, then give that gift to a senior pet. Think of the karma.
