Adopting an older dog can be a win-win situation, but it’s usually not the first thing new owners think about when looking to add a dog to their family. Which is a huge shame, because when you adopt a older dog rather than a puppy you give him a chance of happiness and love that was, statistically-speaking, a long-shot.
Plus, you get so much in return.
Most mature dogs seem to know when they’ve been given a second chance, and the love and devotion they lavish on you is almost embarrassing!
Adopting an older dog warms your heart the way nothing else can.
