You get what you see with an older dog or cat. No Surprises!
Older pets have typically learnt to get along with others and mind their manners – they have learned what “no” means! On the other hand, you CAN teach a dog, and often a cat, new tricks.
Older dogs and cats are good at giving love – they appreciate their humans!
Older dogs are often already housetrained and older cats tend to be cleaner; they generally know how to use their litter box and lick themselves to self-clean more than young cats.
Older pets are very smart – if they weren’t they would not have gotten to be an old pet!
All pets in our Senior Pet Program automatically receives a veterinary examination that includes complete blood and urine analyses so that we can be sure to tell future adopters about any possible health issues that the pet they are considering adopting might have.
