A lot of people fast to judge, believing that older animals are not as adaptable as puppies.

People might be put off by the truth that they have more health issues than younger dogs, but there are lots of wonderful qualities to adopting an older dog. And it’s always a caring thing to do for a dog.

When Zach initially found an older canine in the shelter, he was saddened to find out that the bad dog had been surrounded for having cancer cells. It broke his heart to think that the senior dog might spend his last days in a shelter, so he did the only thing he felt was right– he chose to take him house.

Zach figured the least he can do was ensure that the 16-year-old dog would have a forever home in order to live out the rest of his life in joy– whether that was days or weeks.

He named the canine Henry and provided him the best second chance he could. He made an appointment with the veterinarian to deal with Henry, and he was scheduled to have cancer removed.

It was a turning point for old Henry. In spite of his senior age, Henry had a will to live, and soon, he was running around and playing the same as any dog.

And after several months, Henry was much better and the applications for adoption were flooding in. It was time for Henry to locate the caring house he deserves for his golden years.
