Shelters offer $7 adoptions for senior pets in November

November’s Adopt a Senior Pet Month highlights older animals’ need for loving homes and the companionship they can offer. Shelters and humane societies say senior pets’ established personalities and often calmer energy can make it easier to find a match for a household, and some may already know basic commands and routines. Lake County Animal Shelter is offering $7 adoptions for pets age 7 and older throughout November, while San Diego Humane Society is spotlighting older dogs and cats awaiting adoption. Grant Parish officials are also encouraging adoption or fostering, including short stays that can give shelter dogs a break; advocates note that older pets may need extra care, but still have plenty of love to give.
