If you or your clients are considering adopting a new pet, but want one that is calm and likely trained in the basics, a senior pet may fit the bill. Plus, they tend to be less work than youngsters and can provide companionship and fun for years.
If adoption isn’t possible, consider volunteering at a shelter, making a donation or taking a senior pet for a day.
