Giving Senior Pets Their Second Chance.

There are so many reasons why Senior Animals are just as, if not more, ideal for adoption than their younger counterparts, at many shelters today. Here is another recent article to espouse this message, from The Dodo online.

“While many senior animals have spent years or decades with previous owners, age is not a determining factor in an animal�s affection toward new owners or its ability to bond with them at any point. In fact, owners often easily form bonds with older pets due to the animals� typically calmer dispositions, their familiarity with home environments, their experience dealing with other animals, and previous training.

Senior pets are also easier to train and require less monitoring than puppies or kittens, who sometimes can�t distinguish between a safe situation and a dangerous one. It�s nice to adopt a dog who likely knows what �no� means.

Additionally, senior animals won�t have teething issues and will come into your life already house-trained, meaning they�re less likely to cause destruction in your home — especially if you�re away for long periods. Older pets are also more accustomed to the predictable daytime and nighttime patterns of humans.”

If you are considering adopting a senior animal companion from SPCA’s shelter, here are a few lovely animals more than ready to give their hearts and love to their prospective forever families: http://www.spca.org.sg/services.asp?cat=0&view=Senior&senior=Y

Remember, old is gold, and “Love is Ageless”!



For the love of animals. Pass it on.
