Can You Give a Loving Senior a
Second Chance?

Imagine a pet that loves sharing quiet moments with you ... one that doesn't chew or scratch everything in sight ... one that's calm and more focused when you're trying to impart your wisdom.

It's a senior pet.

At animal shelters and rescue organizations everywhere, there are loving, healthy senior dogs and cats looking for that one special home that will cherish them for the time they have left. And they don't ask for much: just a warm place to sleep, good meals, and plenty of love.

Puppies and kittens are cute. There's no denying that. Who can resist a playful, wriggling ball of fluff? They're always the first to be adopted at animal shelters ...

... Yet in the same room, there are other needy pets who are no less deserving of a happy home. It is heartbreaking to see the numbers of older pets looking hopefully through the wire of their kennels, just waiting for a family to welcome them into their home.

It could be that a senior pet may have a few health problems that perhaps a younger animal may not. But giving a senior pet a good home is so rewarding that a few extra vet visits won't bother you!

Senior pets still have plenty to offer - not the least of which is love. Make no mistake, senior pets can and do bond very strongly with their people! Many seem to understand that they've been given another chance at a happy life ... and they're grateful for the opportunity to love someone and be loved back.

So if you're considering a new pet, why not give some thought to giving a deserving senior a second chance? Instead of passing by older pets, stop and spend some time with them - you may end up finding the most wonderful companion you could have ever asked for!
