Older Pets are Great

Sure puppies and kittens are cute, but... Don't forget about older pets that may fit into your life perfectly.

With an older pet, you will get a less destructive, more graceful animal, and one that has probably passed "basic training"- you may not need to housetrain the pet, and it will most likely know to come when called and what "no" means. The animal may have been neutered, which will save you money. And if you work, a full-grown pet is better able to stay home alone during the day - this is especially true for dogs. Older pets are just as loving as young animals, but because most people want "cute" puppies and kittens, millions of older animals must be euthanized each year.

If you're looking for a good companion, look at the older dogs and cats at your animal shelter. They have lots of love to give and the admirable qualities that come with maturity.
