Seniors for Seniors

Humane Society

On many occasions we get in older pets that have lost their owners. Whether the owner has passed away or they have had to move. We are in hopes of placing these Senior pets in homes with Senior citizens at little to no cost.

 

According to the Humane Society of the United States. In addition to easing loneliness, pets may also make seniors healthier. Studies suggest that contact with animals can lower blood pressure. Research also indicates a link between pet ownership and an increased survival rate for cardiac patients. Other potential health benefits can include decreased stress, reduced bone loss, lowered cholesterol levels, and improved blood circulation.
