7 Stunning Adoptable Seniors
Sometimes it’s just too hard to just pick one. As November comes to an end what better way to close out Adopt a Senior Dog Month than showcasing not one – but seven stunning seniors.
Senior dogs are awesome and I think we all agree. To celebrate the end of Adopt a Senior Dog Month I wanted to show some absolutely stunning Michigan seniors just waiting for their second chance.
If you haven’t checked out the My Old Dog community on facebook I highly recommend you give it a look. It was put together by a wonderful pet photographer to showcase beautiful photos of older dogs. It’s simply amazing and is truly helping to change the perception of older dogs.
Statistically most older dogs don’t make it out of the shelter because people think it’s too heartbreaking or costs too much money to care for them. I want to change the perception of these wise old souls and inspire others to open their hearts and homes to a mature dog. – Lori Fusaro
7 Stunning Adoptable Seniors
Blanche is available for adoption at the Kimball Animal Hospital in Clawson, MI
Blanche is (adopted!) a sweet senior Pit Bull that ended up at the Kimball Animal Hospital when her owners were no longer able to care for her. She’s a real playful girl and has great manners. She loves to play with dogs her own size and at the end of the day loves nothing better than a good snuggle. I’d do best in a home without cats or small dogs.
Riley would love to find a nice quiet home for the holidays.
Riley is (already adopted!) a 8 year old female Patterdale Terrier. She loves to keep warm and snuggle under the blankets. She knows a lot of tricks and is a very loyal companion. She needs to be on a leash when outdoors. She’s available for adoption through the Cat Tails Kitties Rescue in Macomb, Michigan.
Louise is looking for someone who will never tire of petting her.
Louise (adopted!) is a shy senior Border Collie. Since leaving the shelter setting and being placed in a foster she’s been slowly coming out of her shell. She’s starting to figure out how to play with other dogs. She would love nothing more than a devoted couch buddy. Louise would love to find a companion that will never tire of petting her. She’s available for adoption through the Great Lakes Border Collie Rescue in Eagle, Michigan.
Brownie is a sweet senior dog looking for a new home for the holidays.
Brownie is a sweet senior male available for adoption from Home Fur Ever in Detroit, Michigan. He was surrendered when his owner decided he no longer wanted a dog. He’s healthy and has some great energy for his age. He’s looking for someone who can give him a daily walk and lots of affection.
Butch is a gentle senior Lab looking for his new home in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Butch (adopted!) is a 8 year old Labrador Retriever. He’s available for adoption from the Humane Society of Huron Valley in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He absolutely loves going for walks though he’s quite happy lounging on the couch as well. He’d do well in a home with older children. He’s calm, gentle, and super sweet.
Baxter is seeking someone who loves to play ball as much as he does.
Baxter (adopted!) is a sweet older Terrier mix looking for his new home. He’s available for adoption through A New Leash on Life in Troy, Michigan. He loves to play ball and is quite an agile little guy. He’s about 8 years old and 30 pounds. He loves to relax on the sofa and get some cuddles. He should go to a home with older children.
Betty is looking for her new forever home in Howell, Michigan.
Betty (has been adopted!) is a sweet 10 year old Shepherd mix. She’s available for adoption at the Humane Society of Livingston County in Howell, Michigan. Betty has good manners and seems to do well with other animals. She’s looking for a nice mellow home for the holidays.
The Tuesday’s Tails blog hop is hosted by Talking Dogs and Dogs N Pawz. It’s the weekly hop that features shelter pets looking for their new forever homes. Join us and share a lovely pet or help us spread the word by sharing these animals in need.
Breaks my heart to see all of these beautiful seniors that need a home. Paws crossed for all of them. Sharing.
Aw poor babies. They are beautiful! I think it is wonderful that you are sharing these seniors!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Blanche and Baxter look like they both still have a lot of energy. Hope they find homes for the holiday season.
I was pretty surprised by their ages; they must have those good genes that people are so envious of when it comes to aging well 🙂
Oh, all such lovely dogs! Brownie especially calls to me and when I read that he was surrendered… sigh. Sharing.
The worst part is it’s just because they “didn’t want a dog anymore.” Breaks my heart. The good news though is that he’s in good hands with Home Fur Ever – they’ve got him in a really nice foster home waiting. Though I’m sure it’s going to be confusing when he moves again into a new home but I at least hope it ends up being his forever family this time.
What a great group of special seniors. Thanks for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving.
Senior dogs really touch my heart. Our last dog, Shadow, was 8 when we adopted her. And bringing her home was the best thing I ever did.
I keep fostering puppies, but in truth, I’m not a puppy person. I just see puppy raising as the means to the ends of getting a great dog.
I agree about puppies; I was actively searching for an older dog when I adopted Laika. I’d just been rejected by a rescue group after falling in love with a great 7 year old retriever mix because I work full time. In my moment of emotional turmoil I went to the local shelter and fell in love with Laika. She was such a cute puppy so I took her home; it didn’t take long for me to remember why I’d been looking at older dogs to begin with. I certainly don’t regret it because she’s turned into an amazing adult but I’m really not a fan of the puppy stages.
They all look so adorable…I do love senior dogs. There’s something special about adopting one.
Aw! These pups all look wonderful. I hope they all find awesome homes soon.
Senior dogs are the best. I have a good friend who adopted a senior chihuahua mix from our local animal shelter who has turned out to be just the best dog.
Beautiful group of seniors. I love senior dogs. Not sure how I missed sharing them earlier, but I’m on it today!
Good news on the adoptions. I have never heard of patterdale terriers.
