By adopting a new best friend , you can experience the benefits of decreased heart rate and blood pressure that so many people feel when they are relaxing to pet their new cat or dog. Experiencing the friendly greeting of a dog, or the warm cuddle of a cat sitting on your lap is what the Seniors for Seniors program is all about. The PAWS staff will help you select a companion that fits into your lifestyle and housing situation. A free bag of Hills Senior dog or cat food, treats and a new toy. A certificate for a FREE health examination by a veterinarian of your choice.
Cats go home in the comfort of a new carrier and dogs come with a colorful leash.
When you adopt a senior animal from PAWS, you get to experience these joys again while making new memories with your furry companion. Volunteers from PAWS will help you and your new companion get settled in through our Welcome Home plan. We want to make sure you and your new cat or dog are doing well, so after you take your new best friend home, a PAWS volunteer will call you to talk over questions or drop by with a bag of food or treats for your companion. You can also call our FREE behavior help line any time to talk over behavior problems or to get help as you and your new cat or dog gets to know each other. We will keep in touch through our newsletter with helpful hints to care for your new friend and discuss their geriatric needs.
