See some handsome, adorable senior cats and dogs available just for you on local rescue/adoption sites, especially during our November USA Senior Pet Month. What could be better than a dog or cat already trained and ready to be your best friend? If you are older yourself, what a great complement for your lifestyle.
And not only is November our Senior Pet Month but the 20th, to be exact, is designated as our National Adoption Day. Adopt a new senior pet! What a great way to celebrate Thanksgiving and the fast approaching Christmas holidays.
Best Friends Animal Sanctuary
I have mentioned Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in previous posts, the no-kill sanctuary in Utah. Looking through their site, after inputting “senior” in the age bracket, brought up four pages of senior cats, dogs, and other animals available for adoption. Their senior kitties range in age from 10 years to 20. A couple of their sweet kitty cats are shown below.
For senior dogs they show guys and girls ranging in age from 7 years to 15. These handsome doggos are of many different breeds including Bull Dog, Catahoula, Border Collie, Cardigan Welsh Corgi, Chihuahua, Chow Chow, Labrador, Boxer, Shepherd, Hound, Cattle Dog, and more. A couple of their very cute canines are shown below.
Best Friends has several other types of animals like bunnies and horses. Take a look at their site linked above.
Cat Adoption Team
Specifically for cats, the Cat Adopton Team is a local group to me located in Sherwood, Oregon. At the present they show no seniors and just one kitty coming close at age 7. They have quite a number of young cats, aged 1 to 4, and kittens.
Oregon Dog Rescue
Tualatin’s Oregon Dog Rescue has just one senior dog available at this writing. And her name is Ellie, a senior, aged 7 years. As with the smaller rescue for cats, Cat Adoption Team, this organization appears to have a much larger number of younger doggies. See a special Ellie here:
Oregon Humane Society
The Oregon Humane Society, like Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, rescues both cat and dogs plus smaller animals and farm animals. In our search for senior cats and dogs we find only one senior kitty and two senior dogs today. See how cute Wanda, Itachi, and Sparks are below.
The Pixie Project
The Pixie Project of Portland, Oregon rescues both cats and dogs. They show three senior kitties named MuffinTop, Eclipse, and Mildred and just one senior dog called Magnus. See those cute fur balls below. They also have a number of 5, 6, 8, and 9-year-old cats available as well as many young felines. They also have a few courtesy photos for adoptions through individuals. Probably best to call this group direct for any more information on seniors as it is by appointment only.
The Pet Finder
Other than rescue groups known to you, The Pet Finder app gives you the option of finding the best information in your local area for pets.
Additional Info
If you should decide to adopt a senior pet, take a look at my post “Pet Adoption Questions” for some good reminders.
And do check out my past post ”Top Products for our Senior Pets…” for some USA-made product info to benefit your senior best pet friend.
One more post to consider for additional rescue resources is “Pet Events – Animal Welfare“.
Funny Animal Videos
Compliments of Big Geek Daddy see a search and rescue dog in action.
Next enjoy watching dogs at a retirement home.
And last, see wildlife comedy photos.
