Looking for Some Mature Companionship?

November is Adopt-a-Senior-Animal Month

Grafton, WI – November is national Adopt-a-Senior-Animal Month and the seniors at the Ozaukee Humane Society can't wait to celebrate – in a new home.  OHS has many spry seniors waiting for that perfect someone to provide them lots of love in their golden years.  In return, these special elders have a lot of love to give.

In addition to their loving personalities, senior companion animals have a lot of other positive qualities that a younger furry friend may yet to have developed.  Qualities that make senior animals such superb companions include:

• Older animals know the ropes.  They're patient and wise, making it easier to assimilate them into a new home.
• Mature animals may often give you some time to yourself, as their physical demands are not as high.
• Older animals can learn very quickly.  Their ability to focus is leaps and bounds ahead of those impetuous puppies and kittens.
• Senior animals will return the love that you give them tenfold!

The Ozaukee Humane Society always has wonderful senior ambassadors.   As with all of the companion animals, these seniors come with the full behavior and veterinary package available at the OHS.

NOTE:  Our senior ambassadors are available for photos and a Ozaukee Humane Society representative is available for interviews.  For more information, contact Angela Speed at (414) 431-6104.
