Adopting an older pet is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Yes, that's right, a gift you can give yourself. Older dogs and cats seldom get a second or third chance. When abandoned or abused they often find themselves in overcrowded shelters and many are put to death for being too little or too old, too big, or too something. It is terrible and heart breaking. I have rescued all my life and shelters and rescue groups are great places to find a wonderful companion who will love you without qualification, be ready to greet every new day with hope and happiness, and never ever forget that you saved them. They know, and they love unconditionally for the rest of their lives. There are more stories than I can tell, but the bottom line is always the same, helping an animal gives you more you give. If you live in or around New Jersey, try www.arf.petfinder.com , my rescue organization or check your local shelter and bring home a friend.
