Adopt a shelter dog!
Our shelter is full of older dogs that are waiting for families. Some of dogs growing old in shelter, waiting for a home, for over 8 years, even 9!
Sometimes people will pass over an older dog, thinking they would prefer a younger pet, especially a puppy.
But a senior dog can bring joy, even in the short time they have.
Adopting a shelter dog may be a challenge because these animals didn't had a good past, but you can rewrite their future. Giving a chance to a shelter animals is one of the best decision a person can have. Shelter animals are most loyal and grateful animals. Because they will enjoy of the every little act of kindness!
