Pet Adoption for Seniors

Pet Adoption Information for Seniors

In an effort to provide exceptional customer service, OC Animal Care offers its Senior For Senior program. The program provides a discounted adoption rate for senior citizens, 65 years and older, that adopt any animal 5 years of age or older. This is limited to one adoption per household. In addition, licensing fees are also reduced for senior citizens, 65 years and older.

There are many advantages to adopting from your local animal shelter, but adopting an older pet may be even more rewarding. Homeless animals over 5 years of age that come to OC Animal Care are more difficult to place despite the fact that many endure the stresses of a shelter environment much better than their younger shelter mates. Many adult animals have received some obedience and/or potty training and are generally more calm and affectionate.

There are also proven benefits of pet ownership. Pets can lower our blood pressure and anxiety, pets alleviate depression and help us cope with stress, and pets enrich our lives by offering unconditional love!
