Sara's dog Dexter, adopted in 2003
There are more than a dozen Petfinder member organizations who specialize in rescuing and re-homing senior dogs. Personally, I am grateful to any organization that handles senior pets of all kinds. Exactly four years ago, when I was looking for pictures to use in an Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month promotion, I came across a little senior shepherd mix. I fell in love immediately, and Dexter has been one of my best friends ever since.
He was 10 years old when I adopted him -- he's now 14. He moves pretty slowly these days, but his adorable gray face always attracts attention from passersby on our walks. Below is just a sample of Petfinder members specializing in senior dogs.
St. Louis Senior Dog Project, St. Louis, MO
Senior Dog Rescue of Oregon, Philomath, OR
Libby's Haven for Senior Canines, Canterbury, NH
Senior Dog Adoptions, Cold Brook, NY
The Senior Dog House and Rescue, Columbia Fall, MT

given to the shelter, in Humane Society of Indianapolis 2007.
