Searching for a Mature Companion?

November is Adopt a Senior Animal Month

GRAFTON, Wis. – Seniors at the Ozaukee Humane Society celebrate the entire month of November because it's national Adopt a Senior Animal Month! These active elders are hoping someone will provide them with a loving home and give lots of love in their golden years.

Senior companion animals have a lot of other positive qualities that a younger furry friend may yet to develop. 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. Today you can meet Rusty, a 10.5-year-old domestic longhaired cat; and Arthur, a 9-year-old domestic shorthaired feline. As with all of the companion animals, these seniors come with the full behavior and veterinary package available at the Ozaukee Humane Society.
