November is adopt a senior pet month!

4 reasons to adopt a senior animal:
1. What you see is what you get. When adopting an older animal, any behavior problems or special needs are pretty apparent. Also, you don't have to guess how big the animal will get or what it will look like when fully grown.
2. Previous training. Most older animals are already used to living with humans. They're used to the way things work, meaning they need far less supervision than a very young animal. Most older dogs and cats are already litterbox or housetrained.
3. Physical demands are low. Senior animals are not as physically demanding. While they need attention and play, many will be content to curl up with you and relax. Older dogs are less likely to pull on a leash and are more likely to enjoy slow, quiet walks. (Of course, there are plenty of senior dogs out there that don't act a day over 5)
4. Matching lifestyles. An older animal is the perfect match for an older person looking for a new animal companion.

If you're busy, work a lot, or just want a more mellow pet, a senior animal is probably for you!

LUCY is a very cute Staffordshire Terrier mix who's around 3 years old. She's affectionate, playful, energetic and lots of fun! Though she has a small body, she has a big personality :-)
She loves to chase a ball, enjoys playing with her toys, and is excellent with other dogs (she hasn't yet met a dog that she can't charm!)
Lucy needs an active home where she'll get lots of exercise and go to obedience class.
