November is Adopt-A-Senior Month. As a shelter volunteer it's easy to judge those who leave their senior pets at shelters, but the fact is there are too many seniors in the shelters that need homes, and they seldom get adopted.
And that's a shame, because there is no feeling in the world better than saving a senior. They bring a warmth into your home like nothing else, and they fill every nook and cranny with unconditional love.
Maybe they are a little bit slower than they used to be, maybe they need help getting in and out of the car, or going up and down the stairs. Maybe they need a special diet, or require medication or other special care. But there is a glimmer in their eyes, an intelligence, an established personality, and a knowing look of appreciation that you just won't find anywhere else on the planet.
No animals should be dumped in shelters, but especially not the seniors.
There are seniors from 7 years to 17 and up in the shelters. Adopt one. You won't regret it.
And that's Wednesday's Woof.
