November is "Adopt a Senior Pet" month.
What's so great about senior dogs? Well, let's use Freddie, shown here, as an example. We adopted this little 14-year old shih tzu from the Asheville Humane Society. He fit right into the family. He gets along beautifully with our other two big dogs. He's got a mellow, laid-back personality. He doesn't ask for much -- he's happy just laying on your lap. To him, a car ride is the highlight of the day.
Senior dogs have a way of making you stop and take a minute to appreciate life. They deserve to live out their remaining days in a loving home. So think about adopting a senior dog from your local shelter or animal rescue organization.
