The term “rescue” here is used lightly. As pet owners, we didn’t rescue them from any dire circumstances where they were being mistreated or neglected. At least, that didn’t seem to be the case when we agreed to take them. Belle and Paws were overweight, and while we believe both …
We’ve made it no secret here that we advocate for senior animals as much as we can here. It certainly is the premise behind our mantra “Senior pets still have love to give”. More on our own senior pet’s journey HERE. Senior animals should be first on the list for adoption …
