the shelter and her family pictures. She is really happy now.

Both ways. Giving it and receiving it.

Thanks for posting.

I'm glad they do!

Thanks for posting!!

Oh my gosh. I cannot believe no one adopted her until now. She would have been around four years old when she showed up at the shelter.

Bless the people who finally took her home. I love seeing Pirate running around like a puppy. You know she knows she is loved and she is home.

I truly love all pets but the senior pets are special in my heart.

it adds so much more to the understanding of this.
In Plague Dogs, one of the dogs is constantly telling the other that the men chasing them aren't real 'masters' because real masters let you lay at their feet by the fire and there is an island called 'Isle of Dog' where every dog has a master.
Emotional Lives of Animals is non-fiction and opens up what has been kind of hidden except to those who know and love animals. But in the name of being "objective", "science" has ignored "The Emotional Lives of Animals".

A Pirate.

I think she has a very sweet face.

Senior pets are special.

My eldest was Barney, my beautiful cocker spaniel. He was on the TV and my mother called me because he looked so much like the dog I grew up with. They said he was 10 or 11 and needed "a special home" because he hadn't been housebroken and had never lived with people. He'd been a stud dog at "a commercial kennel" before he was rescued. I called before the TV spot was even over, I knew he was the perfect dog for me. The next day my mother and I went to meet him - and his rescuer/foster mom chose me. She had done so much with him - he was the best dog I ever had for not "going" in the house. Barney was a wonderful dog and I had him for 8 wonderful years. Puppies are "a lot of work." Older dogs are the best!

I love dogs. We always adopt from shelters and we usually adopt dogs who are at least 5 years old. Older if we find them.

Our current dog is about 8 and we adopted him at 5. He isn’t always easy but he is always loved.

Older dogs are a little more difficult and you lose them sooner. But I am here to tell you it’s 1000% worth it.

Have these people in her life now!! So happy for this DOG!

Thanks, catbyte!

I am so happy for Pirate and her parents!

My husband and I have already decided when ours go, one is a black lab/collie mix 14 year old tripod and the other is a black lab mix of something and he’s somewhere between 5 and 8, they’re both rescue dogs so sometimes it’s hard to tell,we want to take a couple of years off, do some serious travel, and then adopt a senior dog. Smaller than a lab, something we can pick up and maybe take to Florida or somewhere in the winter. But I really want it to be an older dog.
