Felicity
“I’m looking for a home where people have time for me and I can open up and show my truly beautiful personality!”
Pretty girl Felicity was rescued from North Carolina. Now a South Floridian, she is good with dogs and kids, super sweet and affectionate. This 2-year-old, 45 lb. Hound Mix is a bit timid at first, but once she feels comfy and loved, her personality flourishes; Paws4You.org
Golden Years
Our dogs give us unconditional love and companionship throughout their lives, and it is our job as pet parents to reciprocate that love by giving them proper care as they age. We should maintain timely veterinary appointments, as well as pay close attention to any new behaviors or physical cues expressed by our dogs. We are our dogs’ primary advocates, and the only ones who can provide the vet with the necessary information to make a proper medical analysis or recommend a beneficial diet. This in turn can make our dogs more comfortable and help them avoid any unnecessary pain that comes with age. The addition of even basic supplements such as vitamins can significantly impact a dog’s comfort and mobility. Watching our pets age can be difficult, but consider celebrating those years of love and shared experiences by making their golden years the best ones possible. Savor those slow leisurely walks and lazy weekends lounging on the couch watching TV. In our city, many seniors are surrendered daily. After dedicating the best years of their lives to their families, they end up in overcrowded shelters hoping for a chance. You know how awesome seniors are — share that with your family and friends. It could help them make the right choices in the future!.
