Senior Goldens
Sweet Rewards

Some folks think that there is nothing more precious than a golden retriever puppy. Goldens at the other end of the scale are equally dear. They are sweet, loving, and content to be by your side.

Are you a Golden owner considering a second dog? Were you holding back thinking another young Golden would just be "too much"? Are you a senior citizen yourself and need a companion? Perhaps you want a Golden but your lifestyle is more geared toward a "Golden Recliner " than a rambunctious youngster. Please consider adopting an older Golden!

Senior Goldens are very adaptable and can learn to love again. They can (and do) learn new tricks and are much more settled than puppies. Golden retrievers can live as long as 15 years with proper care and veterinary support. Senior Goldens are often the best choice for individuals or families with busy schedules.

Senior Goldens still enjoy long walks, retrieving, swims and their favorite activity- being with you! The sense of satisfaction and joy that giving a senior Golden a new home brings is unequalled. Although you may not have as many years with them as you wish, those years will be full of sweet rewards.

Check out the Senior Dogs Project website for more stories of senior dogs and how they enrich the lives of the people who love them.
