Senior Dogs Deserve Love and Care Too
Dogs are often adopted when they are just little puppies, they join a family and become part of it, grow with it, but when they reach an old age, they seem not to get the care they need. Unfortunately, many dogs are abandoned by their families as they get older, often because they require more attention and care. This is a sad reality for many senior dogs, who end up spending their final years in shelters, longing for the love and care they once received.
The Story of Lindsy
A cute dog named Lindsy was brought to Babylon Animal Shelter in New York after being initially found by animal control officers. The staff was surprised to receive a phone call from a girl claiming to be from Lindsy's adoptive family, stating that they didn't abandon her but that she ran away from their home and that as soon as her dad comes, they will be there picking Lindsy up. The staff was hopeful that someone would show up to take the poor dog home, but after some time it was clear that the family had abandoned Lindsy since she was getting older and older dogs usually need more care and attention, so people leave them in the streets after many years of having them as family members.
The staff says Lindsy has a great bubbly personality, she loves when she is surrounded by people and they were sure it wouldn't be hard to find her a forever home, but things didn't go well for the poor dog and she was still at the shelter after two long years. Lindsy is now a senior dog and seniors usually have difficulties finding new homes since people are more interested in adopting puppies or younger dogs.
