Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I adopt a senior dog?
Senior dogs are typically calmer, already trained, and past the destructive puppy phase. They make wonderful companions and are often overlooked in shelters, so adopting one truly saves a life.
What age is considered a senior dog?
Dogs are generally considered senior at 7 years old, though this varies by breed. Larger breeds may be considered senior at 5-6 years.
Do senior dogs have more health problems?
Some senior dogs may have age-related conditions, but many are perfectly healthy. Shelters disclose known health issues, and regular vet care helps manage any concerns.
