Golden Oldies
People often worry about taking on an
older dog, but in reality they have so
many benefits.
They are usually housetrained, have
lived and experienced life, so generally
know what to expect from new
situations. They don’t always need quite
so much exercise and are often quite
happy to be left alone for a few hours
so they can have a snooze. They don’t
chew the house like young puppies
and when they look at you with their
adoring eyes and melt your heart
with their sweet grey muzzles, you
are in love!

Once you have loved a senior dog it’s
hard to understand why anyone would
want a puppy! Here is a selection of
wonderful oldies we have had the
privilege to care for and rehome
since our last newsletter.
