If you're thinking about adding a pet to your family, please give serious consideration to adopting an older dog from a rescue organization.

Here's a video of Doodles, our quirky little senior poodle we adopted from Florida Poodle Rescue:

Some benefits of adopting older dogs through a reputable rescue:

  • They've spent some time with a foster family who has been able to give them a complete evaluation. You know what you're getting.
  • You avoid the puppy stages of housebreaking and chewing.
  • Purebred dogs are abundantly available.
  • Rescued dogs seem to know they've been rescued — and their loyalty is immense!
  • Feel good knowing you gave an older dog a second chance.
