TOP TEN REASONS TO ADOPT A SENIOR HOUND
Older dogs are housetrained. You won't have to go through the difficult process of teaching a puppy house manners and cleaning up after accidents. 2. Won't chew inappropriate items They are not teething! No chewing your shoes or furniture. 3. Focus to learn Maturity has its advantages. Older dogs can focus well; therefore they learn more quickly. 4. Know what "no" means If they hadn’t learned “no,” they wouldn't have gotten to be “older” dogs. 5. Settle in with the pack Older dogs settle in easily, because they’ve learned what it takes to get along with others and become part of a pack.
6. Good at giving love They are grateful for the second chance they've been given, and they're happy to express it! 7. WYSIWYG What You See Is What You Get: Unlike puppies, older dogs have grown into their shape and personality.
Older dogs are instant companions—ready for hiking, car trips, and other things you like to do. 9. Time for yourself You have time for yourself. Older dogs don't demand your time and attention like puppies and young dogs. 10. A good night's sleep Rest well! Unlike pups, senior dogs generally do not need nighttime comforting or potty breaks.
