They need help the most

Senior dogs are the most often overlooked at shelters and the first to be euthanized.

They’re forever grateful

The bond you build with a senior dog is like none other. Once they learn you are their person and begin to trust and love you, it’s an incredibly rewarding relationship.

They’re lower energy

Most senior dogs still have spunk in their step; however, they’re just as content to lay in the sun and nap on the couch.

They’re fully developed

So you know what to expect when it comes to size and grooming needs.

They need less supervision

With less puppy energy comes less trouble making which means your senior dog requires less hands-on attention than a puppy would.

They’ll go easy on the furniture

Sure they might let out a stinky fart or two into the couch cushions, but most senior dogs have grown out of their destructive phase since they’re puppyhood is long behind them. https://nawic.org/
