Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Senior animals - specifically cats and dogs over the age of 7 are extremely vulnerable because they are often more overlooked than younger animals in the shelter. In addition, senior animals are more likely to have health issues and are surrendered because their owner either does not want to deal with the health issue or they cannot afford to treat the animal's health condition. We aim to help educate people about senior pets and to encourage senior pet adoptions and rehoming in an effort to keep senior pets out of shelters.
