10 Reasons Why You Should Adopt Senior Animals

Everyone should love senior dogs just as much as puppies! I personally think they're cuter. :) Read more: http://www.peta2.com/blog/adopt-senior-animals/#ixzz3eqccFQhR

1. Senior companion animals have found the chill. “No chill” isn’t even a thing for senior dogs and cats

2. They know what’s up. Senior animals are typically pros at basic skills such as walking on a leash and sharpening their claws on a scratching post, instead of on your family’s couch.

3. They’ve already been named. If you’re like me, you’ll spend stressful days and long nights attempting to figure out just the purrfect name for your family member. Luckily, Lucky already has a name! (But you’re welcome to choose a different name if you want to.)

4. They’re easier to take care of. As you know, baby animals require almost constant attention. Senior cats and dogs still require a ton of attention, but not as much as puppies and kittens, of course!

5. Their personality won’t change down the road. They’ve already gone through their “terrible twos.” If your family has ever adopted baby animals, you know exactly what I’m referring to.

6. They’re wise. Yep, it’s not just a stereotype. They’ve been around the block, so they know what’s goin’ on. And they might also know some tricks!

7. They have the cutest, most sophisticated gray faces. But never gray personalities.

8. Housetraining is much easier. In fact, many may already be housetrained.

9. Their love is endless and genuine. If your family has ever adopted, you already know how sweet rescued animals can be.

10. You’ll be improving the life of your new animal companion but also the lives of other animals! Remember: For every dog or cat who is purchased from a pet store or a breeder, a dog or cat in an animal shelter is killed. By adopting, you’ll be opening up a new spot in that shelter for another animal to have a chance to find a family.

Make your own sign to spread the word and save lives!

Couple Finds A Lost Fawn, And Their Dog Decides He’s His New Best Friend -

This is another beautiful story about a baby deer. Please enjoy, and click the link below to see the video. :) "While heading down their driveway one sunny afternoon, Eddie and his wife spotted a tiny fawn lying still in the grass. They worried the baby wasn’t alive because it wasn’t moving an inch. “When I came up, she was breathing, but her legs looked broken or dislocated. I tried to make sure that they were relocated, when all of a sudden she stood up! She started following me around, and my wife and I realized that the fawn thought that I was her mother!” For the next few minutes, this precious angel blessed Eddie, his wife, and their sweet, fluffy white dog with a moment rarely experienced by humans. You have to see it for yourself!

After playtime was over, the fawn grew tired and curled up beside a nearby tree. That’s when Eddie and has wife saw the fawn’s mother coming around. They snuck away until Mom and baby happily reunited, and disappeared into the woods. “You won’t believe what just happened, Mom!” However, this video should also serve an important lesson for viewers everywhere. According to Native Animal Rescue, mother deer often leave their healthy baby fawns alone while they look for food. While it’s common for people to think these fawns are abandoned, the mother will always return and take her baby back. Remember, if you encounter a fawn lying quietly in the woods — who is not obviously ill or injured — do not disturb. Mom is nearby and will go back to her baby when you’re gone.
