Adopt a Senior Pet Month

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month and I encourage you to consider doing just that. At a tad over 60 years of age myself I could be considered a Senior and am here to tell you that on the inside I am not a day over 35. And with makeup and the right lighting I hardly look a day over 50! The same can be said of our senior canines as well.  In their hearts they are still young and many still act as young as they feel on the inside. My Diva, who is over 50 in dog years, leaps up every morning and runs for a toy to throw in the air. She may have some gray on her muzzle but in her heart she is a puppy and she acts accordingly ( except for the chewing and the “accidents”). At the moment Safe Place has two such wonderful dogs. Heidi is a 9 year-old Dachshund and Oliver an 8 year-old Cocker Spaniel. Whenever you are ready to add an animal companion to your home, please consider a senior pet.
