If 50 is the new 40 for humans, then 15 is the new 5 for pets. Senior dogs, typically those who are 8 years or older, are in need of homes just as much as younger ones, and thanks to adopters like Lindsey and her husband who see beyond age, pets like Bosley are spending their golden years in loving homes.
November is “Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month,” and the Dumb Friends League wants to remind everyone looking to add a new pet to their life that love knows no age. To help its more mature adoptable pets find happy homes, the Dumb Friends League is waiving the adoption fee for all pets that are 5 years old and older, through the entire month of November.
Sarah and Mike have a history of adopting homeless pets. When it comes to welcoming a new canine into their lives, they tend to lean toward the sometimes overlooked and often harder to place more seasoned dogs, our senior canine companions.

Unfortunately for us two-legged creatures, our pets have much shorter life spans than we do. We are more often than not required to care for them through their golden years--and to experience the sharp sadness of losing them when they die.
We adopted Gordon on July 1, 2016 as a companion for Woodford we adopted from the Dumb Friends League 5 years earlier. Woodford had a companion named Petey (also a Dumb Friends League alum) who developed cancer and passed away. Woodford could not be consoled after Petey died, and we wanted to find him a new companion--and we couldn't have found a better one.
What were you doing at 5 a.m. today? Steve Greig was fixing breakfast for his family. No big deal—except that Steve’s family consists of nine elderly dogs, one prima donna pig, a rabbit who watches TV, four chickens (including a hen who rides a robot vacuum around the house) and two ducks.
