Where to start ? Yes, I get it.. a lot of first time dog parents want a brand new puppy,
but are you ready for a life time commitment of 15 years or more in some cases .. if you are lucky ?
Why not take a look at a senior dog ? You can ask one of your friends if you can babysit their senior dog..
Be warned.. you will get a lot of text messages from the dog mom asking how her fur baby is doing.. there could be some Zoom meetings involved…
You can also go to your local shelter and meet the sweet senior dogs that are waiting for a loving home or maybe go a step further and foster one.
Yes, there is a strong possibility that you will become a foster fail (meaning, hell no, our sweet foster seniordog is not going anywhere) and stays with you for the rest of their life, a dream scenario for each senior dog waiting at a shelter.
What can you expect from a senior dog and how to take care of one ?
What are the challenges ? We will discuss this in my next blog
