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.
