10 Reasons to Adopt a Senior Pet!

1.WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

Older dogs are open books�from the start, you�ll know important things like their full-grown size, personality and grooming requirements.

2. EASY TO TRAIN

Older dogs are great at focusing on you�and on the task at hand�because they�re calmer than youngsters.

3. SENIOR PETS ARE LESS DESTRUCTIVE

Most older adoptive pets are well past the search-and-destroy phase. You don’t need to worry so much about finding your favorite pair of shoes.

4. THEY’RE NOT A 24-7 JOB

Grownup dogs don�t require the constant monitoring puppies do, leaving you with more freedom to do your own thing. If you have young children, this is definitely a bonus.

5. FEWER MESSES

Your floors, shoes and furniture will thank you for adopting a senior pooch! Older dogs are likely to already be housetrained.

6. SENIORS ARE SUPER LOVING!

Ask anyone who has adopted a senior pet before!

7. RELAXING TO HANG OUT WITH

Because you’re not constantly chasing around or cleaning up after your older pet, you have a lot more time to spend finding fun things to do or just relaxing together.

8. SENIOR PETS ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR KINDNESS

Somehow, older pets seem to know you gave them a home when no one else would. Many new owners form a close bond very quickly with their senior dog or cat, because the pet shows them a level of attention and devotion that is unique to older adopted animals.

9.GREAT COMPANY FOR SENIOR CITIZENS TOO

Many elderly people find the calm presence of an older pet very comforting.

10. YOU ARE THEIR HERO BECAUSE YOU SAVED THEIR LIVES!

At shelters, older dogs are often the last to be adopted and the first to be euthanized. Saving an animal�s life offers an unparalleled emotional return on your investment, and you�ll feel the rewards every day you spend together.

What are you waiting for? Visit our Open Day and give one of our Senior Pets a home on Merdeka Day (31 Aug 2015), we’ll be open from 10am to 4pm. SEE YOU THERE!
