Detroit, Michigan News Releases

(Detroit.CityRegions.Com, November 16, 2015 ) Taylor, MI -- November is National Adopt a Senior Pet Month and shelters and rescues across the country are hoping those looking to adopt a new furry friend will consider adding a senior pet to the family.
The most difficult group of homeless pets to place are older dogs and cats. Senior pets tend to spend the longest amount of time at a shelter or rescue before finding their forever home — if they find one at all. Older canines and felines of advanced age have higher euthanasia rates than their younger counterparts, and can often live out the rest of their lives in a shelter kennel.
There are plenty of benefits to selecting an older pet over a younger one. Senior pets are typically calmer and less energetic than puppies and kittens, and they're also easier to teach new tricks. Young animals need lots of patience, energy, and consistent training to help them become well-adjusted family pets. In fact, many senior pets are already pros at performing basic commands. Their low-key natures can also make them ideal for households with children.
Older pets often come to the shelter after years of living in a home, so they are usually house-trained, saving weeks, months, or in some cases even years of stress. Senior pets take out the guess work as to how big a dog will get, what the kitten's personality will be like when it grows up, or how much energy that puppy will have as an adult.
Understanding the personality of an animal is key to finding the perfect match for a family and a homeless pet. While young puppies and kittens are still developing their personalities, it will be apparent right away whether a senior dog is a snuggle-bug or a senior cat is more of an independent spirit.
To celebrate Adopt A Senior Pet Month, a reflective pet harness made of nylon and covered with reflective strips is available from Grama's Kitchen at Amazon at a 23% discount for a limited time and while supplies last. The harness comes in 3, sizes small, medium and large.
