Senior dogs are often overlooked but they are the perfect choice for those who do not want to go through the chewing and house training phases. They are wonderful for those of us who prefer a quieter, more laid-back dog as opposed to a high-energy puppy. If you've never had the honor of being loved by an older dog, you are missing something special. Smaller dogs typically have a longer life span and that makes adopting a senior a good option.
