      > Kane’s advice to prospective dog owners is to be open to all options. “It’s a wonderful thing if you feel like maybe rescuing an older dog,” she says, “because a lot of people don’t want them, because they want a quote-unquote, ‘cute puppy.’ But a puppy’s not going to stay a puppy, so that’s a bad idea anyway!”

      > Plus, there’s what Kane calls “a lazy thing about getting an older dog… They already mostly have been housebroken and they’re not going to teethe.”

      > Nor do older dogs require as much physical activity as puppies. “If you have a young dog, you really have to walk them long and hard, they need a lot of exercise,” explains Kane. “And if you have an older dog and you’re” — she pauses to find the correct wording — “a slightly older person, there’s a rhythm that fits very well.”

      I have two rescues—bona fide rescue dogs who needed extensive vet care, professional training, and a lot of re-socialization after being rescued from an abusive home and a puppy mill. They were both 2 when I brought them home.

      They are true labors of love. They are my pride and joy. I worry about them constantly. My girl requires extensive eye care multiple times a day. I am bleeding money to save her eye because I don’t want her to be deprived of half of her vision.

      All of this, and I still can’t fathom adopting or rescuing a puppy. 2 year old Weimaraners with serious trauma histories were close enough to puppies for me.

      We’re in our 60s and have begun to only adopt senior dogs because we would hate to leave behind dogs in case we die before they do. So many advantages to older dogs. No house-breaking, minimal, if any, training and leisurely walks. Usually they’re more laid-back, happy to just be. Highly recommend. We have three.

      My first cat was a kitten. The ones I got after him were adults because kittens are exhausting. Also with adult cats the shelter can sometimes tell you a bit about the cat’s personality, is it a cat that will jump on your lap as soon as you sit down or is it a cat that will barely acknowledge your presence? With kittens you never know what you get
