This sweet senior pup spent over 700 days waiting for a forever home. 💔

This is an occurrence that is far too common for senior dogs who are overlooked due to their age. These seasoned companions may move a bit slower, but they have so much love to share and deserve a a family to live out their golden years with!

Velcro was recently adopted from austinpetsalive and this is what they shared about the uniting of this dynamic duo:

Velcro, FKA Beluga, is a 10-year-old senior dog who had searched for a loving home since 2022. With his older age came some arthritis and an unknown background likely contributed to some trust issues and progressive neurological/musculoskeletal challenges. His ideal home would be slow paced, just like him! And come with a patient and understanding human.

He wasn’t the only one looking for a companion; Jeanette recently lost her two senior pups and was ready to open her home to another senior pet in need. At 75 years young, she needed a low-energy dog to share her home with and spoil to her heart’s content.

Soon after meeting, Jeanette welcomed Velcro into her home under foster care with the intention of adopting. The foster-to-adopt process allows both APA! and the foster parent to help the dog acclimate to a new environment by providing at-home behavior consults and lifelong adoption support.

Jeanette hopes her adoption story will encourage other people to not overlook special needs and senior dogs. “They deserve love and they give as much as they get,” she stated. “They respond to love just as well, if not more than younger dogs. Velcro has adopted me… he has chosen me.”

Join us in celebrating this heartwarming adoption in the comments and share to raise awareness for senior dogs!!
