Adopt a senior pet month

November is adopt a senior pet month, a month dedicated to helping older pets find loving forever homes. Shelters and rescues across the country hope those looking to adopt a new furry friend will consider adding a senior pet to the family. Senior pets tend to spend the largest time in shelters before finding forever homes and that is if they ever do find a home. A few reasons to adopt a senior pet instead of a puppy are ~they are normally calmer and less energetic, ~it is easier to teach them new tricks, ~they are low key which make them great for families with young children.
