Spotlight on: Senior dogs in our program! There are many reasons why senior dogs (aged 7 and up) come into our program. Sometimes the dog's person has recently died. Other times the dog's family has grown, and there is simply no time for the dog's needs anymore. Recently we have had several senior dogs whose families had to move to smaller living spaces due to loss of a job. There are also many reasons why senior dogs would fit easily into your home.

They might be a bit out of shape and a little worn around the edges, but they fit well." -- Bonnie Wilcox 'Old Dogs, Old Friends: Enjoying Your Older Dog'
