Senior adoption day tomorrow
One of the most neglected areas of animal welfare is the adoption of senior animals. Many dogs and cats are dropped off at shelters when the humans who owned them think they have outlived their usefulness. Many shelters euthanize for age, believing the public will not give a home to a senior pet. Luckily, the shelters in this area don't, for the most part, practice this aniquated and inhumane judgement on animals who are brought in.
Senior animals, as much as I love puppies and kittens, bring a different perspective to your life. Most are more mellow, housebroken or litter trained, and are tolerant of many more things than a young animal.
Tomorrow, Saturday, April 11, the Humane Society of Sarasota County is having their semi-annual Senior Adoption Day from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. If you have been looking for that special pet, please consider visiting some seniors tomorrow. Many of these animals have been in the shelter for longer than they should have been simply because of their age and deserve to spend their final years, whether it is one or 10 in a home with a family.
For more information, please call 955-4131 or stop by 2331 15th Street in Sarasota. There will be special fees for seniors, animals and humans, and all these available for adoption need a permanent forever home.
If you aren't looking for a senior, there are many others available who may fit into your life. Save a life, Opt to Adopt.
