Senior Dogs

Some animals are harder to find homes for than others. Kittens and puppies practically adopt themselves. Here at The Toronto Humane Society we want all animals to find loving new homes, especially those who are needy, like senior dogs. We have dedicated this section to older animals to inform the public about the joys of adopting a senior pet.

While shaping the life of a young pet sounds appealing, giving a second chance to an older animal can be equally rewarding. Older animals possess many admirable qualities that come with maturity and senior pets will be forever grateful for the love and attention you give them. Older dogs have many benefits when it comes to behavioural issues: they don't need to be taught not to chew such things as table legs; they are already housebroken; they are less disruptive in a new home environment.

Remember: you might not be able to teach an old dog new tricks, but you can certainly get a lot of pleasure discovering some of the old tricks he or she might have learned over the years! If you want to give a senior pet a new lease on life please see the list below to view some of the senior dogs available for adoption.
