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.
