November is National Adopt a Senior Pet Month. The ASPCA and petfinder.com founded Adopt a Senior Pet Month to help improve the perception surrounding senior pets and to remind people of older dogs and cats that are in shelters and waiting to be adopted.
At OC Animal Care, they'd like to break the stigma around senior pet adoption by sharing a few great advantages:
- Adult pets don’t require the constant monitoring and training that puppies and kittens do (and they are less likely to chew on your favorite shoes!).
- Many are already housetrained and even know a few tricks.
- Adult and senior pets are full grown, so adopters are immediately aware of important information like personality type, grooming needs, and size, making it easier to choose the right fit for their family.
To help our community celebrate senior pets, OC Animal Care will be offering a special $7 Senior Pet Adoption fee on all dogs and cats 7 years or older all month from November 1-30 thanks to generous donations! Love is ageless here at OC Animal Care, and we’re hoping many will open their hearts and homes to a sassy (or sweet) senior pet this November.
Adoption fees are also waived for medium and large dogs over 25 pounds.
