Share the Joy of Adopting a Senior Dog and Encourage Others to Do the Same
If you share your life with an amazing aging dog, tell the world about your best friend! In celebration of Adopt a Senior Pet Month, we’re asking everyone who adores an old dog to help spread the word by sharing why they #AdoptedASeniorDog on social media.
Did you choose to add an older best friend to your family this year? What is it about these mature mutts that steals our hearts? Is it their grey muzzles or hearts of gold? Is it a puppy personality or senior swagger? You tell us! Share the unique qualities that make your senior dog shine by entering our contest: Simply post a photo and brief comments on your choice of social media and in the comments section of our Facebook page with the hashtag #AdoptedASeniorDog. When you show and tell the world about the joy that senior dogs bring into our lives, you are helping to inspire others to give a senior dog a second chance.
You and your dog could be selected as one of ten winners to be posted on our website and receive prizes. And just by sharing your story, you’ll be aiding other old dogs who are waiting for somebody to win the best prize of all: a forever home.
We believe, as you do, that senior dogs are the best. Because of you, we’re getting closer to our vision of a world where every senior dog thrives and no old dog dies alone and afraid. Thank you for opening your heart and home to a senior dog and encouraging others to do the same.
