He revealed to me my capacity to love and be lovedI love all my dogs of course, and I know they love me, but there’s something different about the bond you have with a seniorWhen you care for another being at their weakest and most vulnerable moments the relationship invariably deepens. Despite the wonderful role senior dogs play in our families they are all too often overlooked by adopters. Similar to the plight of the bully breeds in shelters, senior dogs struggle in the shelter setting, are less likely to be adopted in comparison to younger dogs and are often the first cohort to be euthanized. According to a paper written by The Grey Muzzle Organization senior dogs are surrendered or placed in shelters for many of the same reasons as other dogs, but those reasons are uniquely correlated to medical issues and the associated cost of care. arthritis, kidney disease, diabetes, hypothyroidism, skin conditions and cancers are some of the conditions and illnesses common to older dogs Not only are these predominant factors leading to placement in a
shelter, but they pose special concerns for older dogs once they’re in the shelter environment: they are more prone to contracting kennelshelters don’t have the resources to adequately address different ailments, such as allergies; and the symptoms of arthritis can often worsen due to hard flooring and inadequate bedding. With all of this in mind, now try to envision the Average Joe family coming in some sunny Saturday afternoon hoping to meet their next pet. excitedly dancing down the aisles looking for a dog to have slumber parties with, swim in their pool and eat the brussel sprouts they secretly feed them under the dinner table. Even though a dog like Moe would be more than happy to participate in these things (especially the table scrap consumption), he is passed by as the children run to the energetic one-year-old jumping around for attention. The sad truth is, with his fatty tumor and arthritic gait; he can’t wag his tail
enthusiastically enough to draw attention away from the young and spritely pup that the Average Joes end up adopting. a disheartening situation, but there are ways to address it. Muzzle Organization has outlined programs that could help the well-being of senior dogs in shelter care and better their chances of adoption: Encourage the formation of organizations with the purpose of aiding senior dog adoption Provide cost-effective dental care and blood work in shelters and rescue groups Provide cots to senior dogs to get them off hard surfaces that exacerbate the effects of arthritis Reduce competition with younger dogs by highlighting seniors with their own space/area Form senior foster programs for shelters Better connect adopters via online resources and senior-to-senior programs Provide medical funds to keep owner and dog together Provide medical assistance to adopters who cannot otherwise afford it Have hope–there is a ray of light.
In recent years we have seen the formation of groups like The Mr. Mo Project whose sole purpose is to better the lives of senior pups in need, ensuring their last years are safe, happy and full of the love theyThe Project funds life-long veterinary care of all Mr. Mo dogs and places them in either permanent or temporary foster homes, depending on their health.

So, here goes the start of something new for us–a blog. those things everyone and their mother is doing yet we have avoided it like the Bubonic plague. Samantha and I have been talking about blogging since the inception of CaNine to Five three years ago, but fear has kept it in a stranglehold at the bottom of our to-do list. Recognizing the impact that sharing ideas and experiences can have, we have finally found the motivation to put our big-girl pants on and start writing…and actually share with the public what we come up with. For one reason or another, Sam and I have both found ourselves doing a little soul searching lately, taking stock of our lives and reading the work of Dr. Brene Brown. (Side note: if you haven’t read any of her books yet we highly recommend you do so!) One of Brown’s mantras in the book, “Daring Greatly,” is to stand up and be seen. Her theory is that vulnerability leads to success and living a whole-hearted life, not
failure as many believe. Being vulnerable is a great strength, not aMakes sense if you think about it. How can we get ahead in life, whether it’s personal or professional, if we don’t take those steps forward that propel us out of our comfort zone and down a path ofPutting yourself out there createsIt seems so simple, but I know from experience how difficult it can be. I think we all do. This blog is going to get personal. Not the seedy reality TV kind ofNo, this is going to be the kind of personal that introduces us to readers, weaving our personal stories into subject matter that dog owners can relate to. Maybe even cat owners too (joke). We are going to take those dreaded steps outside our comfort zone and share our struggles, successes, failures, happiness, ‘a-ha’ moments andSam and I strive to create open and honest relationships with our clients so it’s only logical that our blog would be written through this lens as well.
