Why adopt a senior dog from SDRO?

SDRO Alumni: Odie

If you are looking for a furry companion to spend your days with but prefer a quieter lifestyle, look no further than adopting a senior dog!

Senior dogs are usually more relaxed and less energetic than puppies, making them great companions for those with a more laid-back lifestyle. Plus, their temperament is well-established, so you know what to expect, and they're less likely to cause damage to your home since they've typically outgrown the destructive puppy stage.

Adopting a senior dog gives a deserving animal a new chance at a happy and fulfilling life. These dogs are often overlooked and unwanted. Senior dogs deeply appreciate the love and care they receive, especially if they've experienced hardship or neglect. You'll gain a loyal companion who will be forever grateful for the love you provide.

Taking time to find the perfect match.

At SDRO, we want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why our dogs live with a foster family until they are adopted. When you're ready to adopt, you will have a conversation with an adoption coordinator about your dog and a two-week trial adoption period in your home to ensure it's the right fit. If it's not, no worries - the dog will return to us, and we'll keep searching for the perfect match. We take pride in making sure that every dog finds their forever home with just the right family.

We’re social!

🐾 Meet Trip – The Three-Legged Legend! 🐾 Looking for a dog who’s missing a leg but not a beat? 🦿 Meet Trip, a 6+ year-old German Shepherd mix who’s basically half dog, half superhero. 💥 Despite rocking a three-legged strut (his secret weapon, really), Trip’s got more energy than most dogs with all four limbs. Whether he’s zooming around the yard or showing off his pro-level fetch skills, Trip’s motto is: "Why walk when you can RUN?!" 🦸‍♂️ He's also a pro at hanging with kids and other dogs. This goofy guy recently lost his beloved owner, but he's keeping his tail wagging while he searches for a new family. 🐕💨 So, if you’re looking for a loyal sidekick who knows how to turn heads (and corners), Trip is your guy! 😎 🏡 Adopt Trip Today – Because Who Needs Four Legs Anyways?🏡 #sdro #adoptdontshop #threeleggedrockstar #fetchchampion #germanshepherdmix #adventurebuddy #Tripthetrooper
