Would you rescue an animal from a shelter?

We rescued a Labradore 10 years ago from a shelter,and we still have him, we also rescued a Shepherd that someone didn't have the time for, unfortunately she died earlier this year aged 9 1/2 yes I would do it again if We weren;t so old now.

Just because you are older doesn't mean you can't have an dog. I'm also older ;) and I adopt older dogs now. I just recently adopted a 7 year old dog from a rescue. Older dogs are, for the most part, settled, frequently housebroken, calmer and require less exercise, making them perfect for older people -- and you don't have to worry as much about dying and leaving them behind. I also adopt from a rescue that guarantees to take any of their dogs back if you pass away or have to go into a nursing home (Animal Humane Assoc.). My last dog was almost 8 when I adopted her -- she enjoyed 4 years of retirement with me before she passed earlier this year.

Older doggies need love, too, and deserve a loving home for their retirement years. So don't give up on doggie love as you get older.
 
I would love to rescue a cat or two after the rats go. But after I visited the cats at the shelter, my allergies kicked in and I sneezed for a few days. But stubborn old me, may still consider it.
 
Speaking of rescue, here's a different kind for some lucky ones rescued in the Bahamas yesterday

I am still so sad about losing Pickles that I can’t even think about getting another dog.

It will be a month on the 11th that he was euthanized and I still cry every day.

There is no way I am going to go through this heartache again.

Everyone says I should get another dog...I just can’t ...at least not for quite a while.

I have lost pets before but this one is the hardest on me....

Ive been going to therapy for anxiety an hour each week....and I’ve

only talked about Pickles so far...

I’m crying now...maybe I shouldn’t be posting...bring everyone down....sorry.
