The Shelter is FULL of SENIOR dogs!!!!!
What is it about senior dogs... I just love them! Unfortunately, a lot of people don't love them as they are the hardest dogs to get adopted at the shelter. Even with the shelter's Seniors for Seniors program, we don't see a significant number of senior dogs being adopted. So sad!
In previous posts I have introduced some of our great senior dogs. Well, most, if not all, are still at the shelter waiting, waiting, waiting...
Sorry in advance for some of the bad shelter photos; it's all I had in some cases. Also, these profiles are in no particular order and the pictures follow the description.

Pepina-A938427- white papillon 9 years: Another tiny kid who looks adorable! Don't know her personality yet but she gets along with other dogs! Seems very sweet!

Leo- A922566-Chow: Owner surrender that is 14 years old. Has irritated skin so they shaved his rear area and treated it, but it makes him look bad. He is a very sweet dog who gets along with people and dogs. Poor guy!

Cole- A910874-Black Lab 10 years?:Sweet dog, just wants to play ball and frolic! He is a character sure to provide you tons of entertainment with his antics! Losing weight, needs out!

Dino & Sam- A915863/A915861- Shep mix and Chow mix both around 10 years: This pair is just asking for a little yard and a shady tree. Both are sweet and mellow. We've taken them to adoption events and they did very well. Sam loves Dino and it would be GREAT to have them adopted together. Best Buddies plus seniors = BIG DISCOUNT at the shelter!

Honey- A931447- Long hair Chi about 7 years: A total sweetie pie who just wants a lap! Had to be shaved due to matting. Needs a diet too! What a little doll!

Benji-A938900- Shelti 12 years: What a cute dog, she looks like a puppy as she is pretty small. She seems pretty friendly. Typical shelti who likes to bark, however, it's not very loud... A cutie!

Grover-A570978- Bearded Collie mix 6 years: This dog is so cute, he looks like a cartoon! The story on this guy is heart-breaking. He was an owner turn in by an elderly man due to his wife's lung illness they couldn't keep him. The man was so distraught with tears and sobbing over the loss of his good friend. Grover loves his food and seems like a chill guy.

Tristen- A932984-Pit mix 7 years: This brindle pittie girl is a LOVER! A volunteer favorite, she is mellow and sweet. Likes to play and loves the love.

Negra- A932279-Rottweiler 7 years: What a marshmallow! This poor kid is overweight and has terrible muscle tone. She needs a home where she will get a little exercise and a lot of love!

Carson/George- A924467-Chow mix 15 years?: Slow and sweet, what a honey! We think George is deaf but otherwise he's just a sweet old guy! Seems to like everyone and other dogs are okay too!
I'm sure I've missed a few of our wonderful senior dogs so check out the www.laanimalservices.com site to see who else is looking for a new home in their golden years.
I think we need more senior rescues here in LA. Right now we have few choices even though many rescues take in seniors, we can't depend on that since these dogs are so hard to place. If YOU are interested in fostering a senior, let me know and I will hook you up!
