TEN REASONS TO ADOPT A SENIOR DOG!!

1. Senior dogs are housetrained. You won't have to go through the stage(s) of teaching a puppy house manners and cleaning up accidents.

2. Senior dogs are not teething puppies; they won't chew your house up while they develop.

3. You can teach an old dog new tricks! Senior dogs can focus well because they've matured and learn quickly.

4. Senior dogs have already learned the meaning of "no". If they hadn't learned it, they wouldn't have grown to be "senior" dogs.

5. Senior dogs fit in because they've learned what it takes to get along with others and become part of the group.

6. Senior dogs are good at giving love once they settle into their new loving home. They are grateful for the second chance you've given them!

7. No surprises! Senior dogs have grown into their shape and personality whereas puppies can grow up to be quite different from what they seemed at first.

8. Senior dogs are instant friends, ready for hiking, road trips, and other activities you like.

9. Senior dogs don't have the kind of demands on your time and attention that puppies and young dogs do.

10. Senior dogs are more likely on a schedule. You'll get a good night's sleep as they're used to human schedules and usually don't need late night feedings or potty breaks.
