Seniors for Seniors

Choosing a pet that fits your heart and your future.

When considering adoption, it’s crucial to not only choose a companion who fits your heart, but your home, lifestyle and future, too.

If you’re enjoying your golden years, a mature dog or cat will make a much better companion than a puppy or kitten. Young pets are full of energy, and require years of care, training and activity. With this, dogs live an average of 10 to 13 years, while cats live an average of 13 to 20 years.

We have many wonderful adult and senior pets waiting for homes. These dogs and cats often make the best companions. They’re calm, affectionate and already settled into their personalities.

Adopting with love also means adopting with foresight. Think about what kind of dog or cat truly aligns with your lifestyle and energy level. Need help finding the purrrfect match? Call us at (717) 993-3232 or email [email protected].
