November is National Adopt a Senior Dog month! While puppies can be irresistibly cute,
there are so many reasons that senior pets may be the best choice of companion
for many people. Adopting a senior pet may save a life – shelters are often crowded,
leaving senior pets at risk of being put down. But even beyond the satisfaction
of giving a senior dog a chance at a new life, senior dogs also have several
positive qualities that make them particularly attractive to busy families.

Adopted dogs are usually fully-grown and are well beyond
crate training, separation anxiety, teething, and destructive tendencies that
come along with puppies. Because they are full grown, there’s no mystery in the
dog’s growth potential, grooming requirements, or temperament. The dog you meet
is most likely the dog you’ll spend years loving. Training a senior dog is also
much easier, as they typically know basic commands and don’t require constant puppy
monitoring.
Best of all, senior dogs are ready to be faithful companions! They really do seem to know that they’ve been given a second chance. They are grateful for life, and the gentle company of their adoptive parents.
