November is “Adopt a Senior Pet” Awareness Month, and Rescue DOG and End of Life Sanctuary, 977 Harbin Hill Road, Mtn City, TN, is off to a great start.
Senior pets have positive qualities that many younger dogs and cats lack at the time of adoption.
For example, an older dog will be both leash and house trained, making the transition to a new home less stressful for the adopter. It is a win-win situation. Also, the dog has outgrown the chewing puppy stage, so there is no risk of losing your great-grandmother’s heirloom to a chewer.
Senior pets simply want a place to feel “home” again. Home is where we all find comfort, security and love. Home is peace of mind, knowing your belly is full and happiness resides within its walls.
Many seniors like Simba are waiting to feel “home” again. We encourage local residents to consider fostering or adopting a senior pet this month and make a difference in the life of a rescue dog or cat.
