HSCAZ has a program just for seniors. It's called “Senior to Senior,” where animals aged 7 years or older can be adopted by seniors 60 years old or older for a discounted fee.
Why Seniors & Senior Pets Make the Perfect Match
There’s something truly special about the bond between a senior citizen and a senior pet. Both have so much love to give, and together they can create a beautiful, comforting partnership.
The Joy of Companionship
Adopting a senior cat or dog means welcoming a calm, loving companion who’s ready to settle right in. These pets often have gentle temperaments and are happiest simply sharing quiet moments, making them wonderful friends for seniors.
Health & Happiness
Caring for a pet brings purpose and routine, while also boosting emotional well-being. Walks with a small senior dog can encourage healthy activity, while a senior cat provides affection with minimal physical demands.
Why It Matters
When seniors adopt senior pets, both lives are enriched. The pet receives a safe, loving home, and the senior gains a loyal friend who understands the comfort of companionship.
