Seeing Beauty in {This Golden Moment} is a once a month Friday post, inspired by
See Beautiful
According to Confucius,”Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.”

I am 10 years old and I am a Senior Dog.

November is National Adopt a Senior Pet Month.
Many shelters and rescue groups have Senior Dogs. Senior Dogs lost their homes for many different reasons. Currently the main reason is economic hardship. Many families can’t take care and have to give up their Senior Dog. It’s harder for a Senior Dog to get adopted because of their age.

What exactly is a Senior Dog? Dogs that are 7/8 years old and up.

At one of our dog events a family of 4 took photos and petted me.The little boy said to his father, “Dad, she is an old dog.”
The father responded, “Yes, a sweet likable old dog.”

Absolutely, a Senior Dog is likable. A Senior Dog possess unique physical and inner Beauty.

4 Beautiful Reasons To Adopt a Senior Dog

1. A Senior Dog is GOOD in Giving LOVE. Forever grateful in having a second home for living whatever time is left.
2. Great Companion. Have a mellow personality and does not demand much. Enjoys living just hanging out.
3. Have been socialized so will settle easily.
4. Most senior dog are house trained (some senior dog may temporarily forget due to confusion being in a shelter/rescue.)

Adopting/fostering a Senior Dog is a future plan of my mom.

When adopting a Senior Dog, our bloggie friend Kim of Life at the Golden Pines comes to mind. Kim has adopted/fostered many many many Senior Goldens. Kim has such Golden Goodness in her heart by providing these Senior Goldens a precious remaining life of happiness. Age should not matter when adopting a dog, COMPASSION and Importance for LIFE are what counts.
