When I heard that Christian had been in the shelter for ten years (70 in dog years), I thought it was time for him to be free – he was 15. I visited the shelter and was taken to his cage – he crashed against the wire wall snarling. The keeper said he just did that to protect his long term home. Somewhat nervously we took Christian home. Christian was perfect for us seniors after only a day or two of adjusting to his new home. I didn’t even have to put him on a leash for walks. It was great seeing his joy racing and romping free in the fields and he turned out to be a lovable character and great fun. Seniors should seriously consider adopting a senior shelter dog.
