Link: Reasons To Adopt An Older Dog

I recently got my husband a 2 1/2 year old Red Merle Blue Heeler for his birthday. His previous master had passed away a few months before. This sweet little boy has won our hearts forever! He loves his new sisters, two yellow labs. Our home is complete with our 3 kids now. I am so glad we did not have to go through the "puppy" stage again! I would recommend an older dog adoption over a puppy to anyone!

These are some tips from the ASPCA regarding adopting older dogs that I found helpful and wanted to pass along.
