Senior Animals Find Homes
Nine year-old Libby was at the ARF Adoption Center for a couple of years but found a loving home recently in New York City. From her favorite chair she has beautiful views of the skyline and of the kitchen, the most important room in the apartment. Her new guardian told us happily that "Libby sits in this position every morning and I can't stop laughing! I hold her every morning and night and tell her that she is loved very much and is now in her forever home. She purrs and purrs and licks my hand, and I know we are on our way to a wonderful life together. Thank you for bringing this sweetheart into my life."
Introducing the Young at Heart Program
Here are six good reasons to adopt an older pet.
1. They are typically calmer and less rambunctious.
2. They are usually housetrained or litter trained.
3. They are more inclined to bond with you faster.
4. They have established, stable personalities.
5. They require less strenuous exercise but still have energy to play and take walks.
6. They usually can be left at home for longer periods of time, making them ideal choices for people who work.
Anybody who adopts a senior cat or dog (7 years and older) receives these great benefits:
· 50% discount on adoption fees
· Starter food
· Starter litter
· Toy
· Collar and leash (and cat carrier)
