This program places senior pets with senior citizens. We provide pet
insurance and any other assistance we can for seniors who choose to adopt a
senior pet.
The dog or cat gets a stay-at-home mom or dad to spoil them all day, and
the individual gets an adoring and grateful pet whose expectation is to be
the center of the person's universe.
Not a bad trade.
