Top 10 Reasons to Adopt a Senior Dog

1: HOUSETRAINED Many older dogs are housetrained. You won't have to go through the difficult stage(s) of teaching a puppy house manners.

2: WON'T CHEW Older dogs are not teething puppies, and won't chew your shoes and furniture while growing up.

3: FOCUSED Older dogs have the ability to focus better because they've mellowed. Therefore, they learn quickly.

4: KNOWS "NO" Older dogs have learned what "no" means. If they hadn't learned it, they wouldn't have gotten to be "older" dogs.

5: SETTLED Older dogs settle in easily, because they've learned what it takes to get along with others and become part of a pack.

6: GIVE LOVE Older dogs are good at giving love, once they get into their new, loving home. They are grateful for the second chance they've been given.

7: WYSIWYG What You See Is What You Get: Unlike puppies, older dogs have grown into their shape and personality. Puppies can be a mystery.

8: INSTANT COMPANION Older dogs are instant companions - ready for hiking, car trips, and other things you like to do.

9: TIME FOR YOURSELF Older dogs leave you time for yourself, because they don't make the kinds of demands on your time and attention like puppies do                             

10: A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP Older dogs are accustomed to human schedules and don't often need nighttime feedings, comforting, or bathroom breaks.
