LINDEN — All Star Pet Rescue has introduced a new program designed to help more older dogs get out of the pound and into safe and loving homes.
Funded through a grant from the “100 Women Making a Difference” organization, the “Seniors For Seniors” program aims to encourage more “young at heart” seniors to bring an older dog into their home.
For a nominal adoption fee, a senior dog would come fully vetted along with the basic necessities to get started out in their new life. This includes a leash, collar, ID tag, food and water bowls, a comfy dog bed, some toys and treats and enough food for the first two months. Anyone over the age of 60 years of age who adopts a dog older than 7 years old is eligible for this program.
For further details, contact Program Director Ginny Werner at werner.ginny@gmail.com.
