Open your home to a senior pet this November πŸ’œ

 


We’re excited that November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month because we love our senior pets here at the San Antonio Humane Society (SAHS). They usually tend to spend the longest amount of time with us and can sometimes be overlooked. We truly believe age is just a number and that all senior pets are just as lovable and fun as a new puppy or kitten.

In honor of this PAW-some month, we want to make sure you know some of the benefits of adopting a senior pet.

·       - Most of them are house-trained and require less training. Your furniture, shoes and plants will thank you.

·       -  Senior pets tend to be calmer. They are more relaxed, and most of them will be content by taking a short walk or just spending quality time on the couch.

·        - They will be eternally grateful. They know you are giving them another chance, and in return, they will love you unconditionally.

If you’re thinking about adding a new furry friend to your family, we encourage you to open your home to an older dog or cat. They will love you FUR-ever! Here are some of our senior pets still searching for their forever homes:

Candy and Sam

Senior gals Candy, 10 years old, and Sam, 11 years old, are best friends! These two Shepherd mix beauties arrived at the SAHS together after their previous owner could no longer care for them. As two senior pets, they never leave each other's side and have a special bond. They hope to find a loving home where they can continue their adventures together. Candy has a happy personality and loves to smile with her tongue hanging out. Sam is the more curious one and loves to explore. Due to her arthritis, Sam has received laser therapy on her back legs and is being more active and playful. Her marking kicks are adorable!


Shera

The sweet 7-year-old Shepherd mix is Shera! It only takes one look into her eyes for you to fall in love with her. She is a smart girl and loves to give you her paw. She also knows how to sit and has great leash manners. She will sit right next to you when she wants attention. She is a big girl with an even bigger heart!

Melina

If you’re looking to have a constant companion, meet our 7-year-old beautiful tripod Melina! She is a Retriever, Labrador mix with a gorgeous chocolate brown coat, cute floppy ears and gorgeous smile! She would love to be the only fur-baby in the household. She loves to smell everything and thrives on affection and praise. Once she’s relaxed, she’ll ask for all the belly scratches! Melina is also Heartworm positive and will need to continue her treatment in her new home.
