Adopt a Senior Dog: Your Perfect Companion Awaits
Our Seniors Program offers reduced adoption fees and special benefits to encourage you to give dogs over 8 years old a second chance at love. Along with microchipping, spay/neuter surgery, and up-to-date vaccinations, PAWS4you sponsors annual checkups and covers pre-existing medical conditions through our network of veterinarians if needed.
Why Adopt a Senior Dog?
- Easy House Training: Older dogs are often already house trained.
- Lower Energy Levels: They require less exercise and are content with shorter walks.
- Predictable Behavior: They have established temperaments and are less likely to be unpredictable.
- Basic Commands: Many senior dogs already know basic commands and leash manners.
- Perfect Companions: Especially for elderly individuals, providing friendship, security, and improved physical and mental health.
Research shows that companion dogs help decrease heart rate and blood pressure, reduce depression, and keep individuals active. Caring for a senior dog can bring a sense of well-being, encouragement, and purpose, enhancing the lives of both the dog and the owner.
Senior dogs are incredibly grateful for a loving home and show their appreciation with unconditional love. By adopting a senior dog, you save a life and gain a loyal, low-maintenance friend.
