Senior dogs make some of the best companions, but they’re often overlooked. At Four Feet and a Heartbeat, we believe every dog deserves a chance—especially the wise, gentle souls who just want a cozy bed and a loving home to retire in.
Puppy Energy Isn’t for Everyone
While puppies are adorable (we get it!), there’s something incredibly special about adopting a senior dog.
These wise, gentle souls are often overlooked—but they’re some of the most grateful, loving companions you’ll ever meet.
5 Reasons to Consider Adopting a Senior Dog
1. What You See Is What You Get
No big surprises with size, temperament, or training needs.
2. They’re Often Already House-Trained
Skip the accidents and chewing phase.
3. They Settle In Quickly
Seniors are often calm, affectionate, and just happy to be safe.
4. They’re Ideal for Quiet Homes
Older adopters, single adults, or families with a relaxed routine often find seniors to be the perfect fit.
5. You’re Truly Saving a Life
Senior dogs are at high risk of being passed over. Giving them a final chapter full of love is deeply meaningful—for them and for you.
