No Time To Teach New Tricks? Adopt A Senior Pet! Saturday marks the start of something big--the first-ever Adopt-A-Senior-Pet Month, sponsored by the ASPCA and Petfinder.com. Sure, puppies and kittens are cute as pie, but this November, we'll take time to celebrate the finer things in life--canine and feline senior citizens who come already trained and all ready for another chance at a good life.

"Older pets have plenty to offer adopters--not the least of which is love," says the ASPCA's Jacque Schultz, Companion Animal Programs Advisor. "Instead of passing them by in the shelter, stop for a cuddle and you may find the most wonderful companion possible." And just think, that great big sweetie who's reached his golden years comes complete with the following benefits:

   In general, adult pets require far less supervision and less constant care than high-energy kittens and puppies--making them super choices for people with already busy lives. (Plus, a dignified, well-mannered senior citizen isn't likely to chew up your slippers or attack your ankles whenever you walk by!)

   A senior pet's physical demands are much lower than that of a younger animal. They won't usually pull you around on a leash or jump on you, most likely preferring quiet walks to running. The majority of older pets are already house-trained, and many older pooches have obedience training.
   A mellow older canine or feline fellow with less intense exercise needs is often a perfect match for an older person seeking friendship and love.

For more on senior pets, please take a look at our cybermaterials at ASPCA.org.

Information is intended to provide a general overview and to stimulate your thinking about providing for your pet in the event of your incapacity or death.
