Are you looking to add a K9 companion to your home? Please consider adopting a senior dog. Senior dogs are often overlooked at the shelters and spend much longer without a family than the cute, high-energy puppies. Some older dogs are perfect for someone with a lower activity lifestyle. Some older dogs just want to snuggle the day away in their favorite sunny sleeping spot. Other older dogs may require a special nutrition plan or medication and require a family willing to pay special attention to their needs.

Rescue organizations can match you to the perfect dog for your lifestyle. These three senior dogs may be the right dog for your home.
