Please take a moment as we pay tribute to our senior pets who often overlooked for adoption. This video was brought to you by the Retriever Rescue of Colorado. Adopt a senior today!
Thank you for this. We adopted our pug Lola from a shelter. We discovered she was a breeder dog that was dumped in the January snow. Blind and nearly toothless she is the most wonderful companion. We know our days with her are number and we celebrate each day. She has helped our daughter over come her fear of dogs, made us laugh and know that if she could see she would protect our family to the ends of the earth. Please consider an older dog from a shelter or rescue. They are amazing!
My doxie Spencer was adopted from a neighbor in 2009 at the age of 10 1/2 because he had jealousy issues with their new baby. . A senior dog just wants your love and they will give back so much more. Sadly I lost him to illness on 4-19-11. His passing has left a hole in my life that I fill by spending time on rescue and shelter sites trying to get dogs adopted.into new homes by posting on Facebook. I think Spencer would approve. When the time is right, I'll rescue another senior Doxie or two.
This is such a lovely tribute. I adopted a senior kitty a few years ago from a shelter. And although she's fighting cancer now, she's affectionate and playful and has brought untold joy to my life. The idea that she may have been 'less desirable' because she wasn't a kitten just floors me. She's an amazing kitty and I'm so very glad she's come into my life.
OMG, I'm sitting here looking at my almost 15 yr old little girl with tears in my eyes.. She hasn't much more time on this earth and I just don't want to have to make 'that' decision which is soon coming. Her liver is not functioning like it should and meds are not working. I've had almost 15 years of daily laughs and smiles because of my Reba. How lucky I've been that she chose me all those years ago.
