Bringing Care and Comfort to Animals in Need

Butte Humane Society is now offering a program for seniors who wish to adopt an older companion animal (cats, 5 years and older; dogs, 8 years and older). If you are at least 60 years of age, you will be able to adopt a senior companion for free with an approved application. Remember, all our animals are spayed or neutered and are current with their vaccinations!  Come down to BHS and find your new best friend today!

Why make a seniorconnection?

	Senior companions have a lot of love to give and will generally bond quickly with the adopter who gives them their forever home.  Senior animals are generally very mellow and seem to be happiest just being around their new person.
	Senior companions are generally less work. Puppies and kittens can be a big commitment of time and energy, particularly over the destructive and high energy stages. They are usually housetrained and many know basic commands. Although they may need more frequent visits to the vet, their love and devotion far outweigh the effort.

Adopting a senior companion will increase  the chance of getting an animal that fits with your lifestyle. Their personalities are fully developed. What you see is what you get, which makes it easier for the owner to find the most compatible animal.
