~~ If you are a retired person or a senior citizen we ask that you specially consider an older (type of dog) to adopt. These dogs remain puppyish well into old age and can also live a long time. We want them to have their family right up until the end. The most frequent reason for a pet animals' later life abandonment is that their caregiver has to leave them for a nursing home and their family members do not always have space, desire or the ability to care for a pet left displaced by such an event. Please think about how YOUR age and state of health will affect your new dogs' future ~~
