Senior dogs tend to get overlooked at shelters simply for their age. People always want dogs or just younger dogs. We know getting senior dog means you're just that much closer to heartbreak, but it's heartbreaking to think that these sweet canines don't deserve love just because they're older and need more care. Senior dogs can be your soul dog! They are way chiller than puppies, but still just as cute. They might need special food and meds, but they won't exert you physically by needing to play fetch for 4 hours or keep you awake because they woke up at 2am and are just up now.

Take this little white dog, Ellie. She was having trouble finding a home. It was breaking the shelters heart to think she was going to live out the rest of her life in a shelter. But then she got adopted by hoomans in their 80s, so fellow senior. Now, she is living her best life and everybody's hearts are so full. See the wholesomeness below!
