For particularly Seniors who have lost a dog they've bonded to for years, it's very difficulty to accept bringing another one home. A Senior dog is a strong possibility, one that you can provide a few good years to and enhance the quality of life for pet and pet parent.

Almost three years ago I brought home a "probably 2-3" year old who was an orphan who learned to be very personable and an excellent house guest, as his survival skills. He was quite ill, so I brought him home over Christmas with the hope of him getting healthy and being adopted. He's still here, and a wonderful companion.

We had overlapping pups over the past 30 years but not this time so when we had to put him down, there was no buffer at home and it really took a toll on me. All mixed breed pups. One from a friend who needed to unload some unwanted pups, one was a Hurrican Andrew rescue and the last one was an Interstate 40 running loose dog with no collar or tags.
