Senior Critters for Senior Citizens
We know that the companionship and health benefits of having a pet are absolutely clear! We also know that seniors sometimes have concerns about pet ownership.
“A pet might outlive me and be put down for lack of a home.”
“I can’t afford a pet.“ (Concerns we hear often include purchasing the pet and paying for pet food and veterinary care.)
“What if I can’t care for it?” (Concern includes hospitalization, a move to assisted living, or lengthy visits with family elsewhere.)
The Haven Animal Care Shelter can help.
Here are the basics:
-
We will reduce or waive our adoption fee for senior citizens who adopt senior pets (8 years or older).
-
We will assist with veterinary care if you need our help -- for the life of the pet!
-
We will provide food if you are unable to purchase food for your pet.
-
We guarantee that the pet you adopt from the Haven will always have a home with us (whether your pet’s need is short-term or permanent).
Here are a few of our seniors that can be adopted through this program:
