Pets of all ages are part of the family; they have their own personality and are there for you. While quite often people today readily adopt kittens and puppies, there are a great number of advantages to consider regarding adopting a senior pet instead.
Some may feel biased to adopt a kitten or puppy because the animal may have a “blank slate” and he or she may want to be the pet’s first owner, but there are some factors that should come into consideration when adopting a younger pet. For example, younger animals come with their own personality that can be difficult to spot early in their development. Or, the kitten or puppy may take how you treat them for granted, because he or she does not know any other type of life he or she could lead. A senior pet has more life experience and his or her personality will be much easier to recognize when you go to adopt your animal to become a loving member of the family.
According to petsforpatriots.org, “Older animals have their routines and while they still love to play, they love to relax, cuddle and nap as well,” which is a highly suitable situation for all owners. Whether you have a young boy who wants to wrestle and play with your dog, you live on your own and want some company, or you work full time, a senior pet will have a balance of play, rest, love and affection. He or she will be more accommodating to children because his or her mind will not constantly be focused on running and playing With a senior pet, you are in charge! If you want to play, if you want to cuddle, you know your pet will be there for you.
Petsforpatriots.org also states that some benefits of adopting senior pets are that they are “old enough to know better, young enough to learn,” “great for any age,” and “they know they have been given a second chance at life.” And what a great feeling it is to have helped another, especially an animal less capable of making a life. It is quite a powerful thing to help others – and often results in a betterment in at least one form or another for yourself – you will be happier and enjoy life more, and people or opportunities may reach out to you that you want to come to fruition.
Imagine what it would be like to not have a home, or wait anxiously for someone to take you into their family. When you adopt a senior pet, they know they are wanted – you saved them. These senior pets have gained wisdom and deserve a great family, just like you do. A senior pet is likely to have a deep amount of love for you, and your deed will make them eternally grateful.
You deserve all of the priceless advantages of adopting a senior pet. A loving and admiring animal that wants nothing more than to serve you with loyalty and companionship is waiting for you. Their way of repaying you is to help protect your family, love, and play – whatever you need, whenever the time!
