Hello <<First Name>>!

Centre County PAWS is celebrating Adopt-A-Senior Pet Month during November, along with shelters across the nation. We have a number of senior cats and dogs looking for homes but the reality is older animals have a tougher time getting adopted. We think older pets are great and want to highlight a few at PAWS:

Ali is a 10-year-old pit bull mix who loves to go for walks and play with toys, but is just as happy to lounge with his person and enjoy being a quiet companion. Ali would prefer to be the only dog in the home.

While 11 years may seem old for a cat, many felines live well into their late teens and even 20s. Trixie is 11 years young, and loves to hang with people and on soft beds. She enjoys being petted and loved.

Older pets are usually calmer, are less high maintenance in terms of attention or exercise, can be trained and are more focused than youngsters, and adopters often report that seniors are especially grateful for their new homes. While a senior pet may not live as long as a puppy or kitten, once adopted, their remaining years will be some of their happiest.
