November is "Adopt a Senior Pet" month
Got this email from Jen at Senior Mutt Match. If you're interested in contibuting or volunteering for this worthy cause, please visit her website. Even if you don't live in San Diego, bringing awareness about senior pets that need adoption is a really worthy cause. Adopting our senior dog Doodle changed our lives. We are very grateful for all she's taught us...
"November is "Adopt a Senior Pet" month and Senior Mutt Match is spreading the word. You can help too and it will only take a few minutes. Visit our website, and download a flyer that you can copy and post around the community. Your office lunch room, favorite coffee shop, local library or bagel shop all have community boards, so print a few out and ask permission to post. There are a lot of wonderful older dogs sitting in the San Diego shelters and spreading the word about Senior Mutt Match will help find them homes.
Today was the grand opening of the SDDAC North Shelter in Carlsbad (2481 Palomar Airport Road), and it is fantastic! Make plans to visit the new facility which has much nicer accommodations for the animals that are staying with them. Also, if you are looking for an older dog, I met several who will absolutely melt your heart. Look for Bandit (a black cocker spaniel/pug mix), Doc (a 10 year old min pin), Sarah ( a 10 year old shepherd mix), Ruby (terrier mix), Harley (basset hound) a hound/corgi mix (no name yet, but he has many stories to tell if you stop by his kennel) and quite a few others. They are all great dogs so stop by to meet them or tell someone you know that is looking for a great older dog.
Next time you are out, make sure to pick up a free copy of San Diego Pets Magazine. The November issue has an article touting the benefits of adopting a senior pet as well as mentioning Senior Mutt Match. Pick up some extra copies to share with friends. If you are interested in advertising in the magazine, give them a call. Pet magazines for our community are extremely important, but they need the advertising support to survive.
Please welcome the latest animal rescue groups to join Senior Mutt Match: Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue and Pit Bull Rescue San Diego. That brings the total number of groups up to 40. If you know a group with older dogs that is not yet listed, have them contact us. Wishing many happy adoptions to all!"
