That's a good point. A good, trained and housebroken dog is invaluable. I wish all grown-a*s adult dogs (and cats) were like that

Brilliant. :D And honestly one of the main reasons why I'd always adopt an adult dog over a puppy. (Another is the fact that I know that puppies always find a home sooner.)

La Petite Morte 5 years ago

Such a gorgeous bluenose! He/she reminds me of Bruno, my (former bait dog) gargoyle I adopted when he was 11. He was repeatedly returned because, get this, he snored. SNORED!!! He developed seizures at 14 and by 16 they were uncontrollable with meds. He was the sweetest good boy in the world, loved everyone (unless you were two dogs playing with a tug toy, he couldn't abide that), was the master at the footpin-leglean, thought he was 10lbs, thought all skunks were his friend, and started a ghost dog legend at a cemetery. I miss him so much. I only got 5 years with him, but they were the best 5 years.

Though puppies and kittens are so cute, there’s nothing like that magical age, usually around three years old, when they start to mellow. Ahhhhh, peace.

Give me a beagle any day... 5 years ago

Why were none of thees dogs featured beagles? Because beagles behave, LOL! J/K! I know mine is 100% pure clown, but he's a good boy. Has never lifted his leg in my house, or my mom's, he's never torn up the sofa pillows, he has never had an accident in the house, and he's friendly with all of my cats and anyone he meets. #BeaglesAreTheBestBreed

Cute campaign but animals will still do weird things, regardless of their age (case in point, my rescue cat likes to sleep on top of my head if I'm reclining in bed and he's not a kitten anymore.)

I'm all for adopting adult animals, but this campaign is straight up misleading. Our last adult dog, for instance, was definitely not house-trained and was a serious jumper. We worked with him as much as possible, but those behaviors were pretty much set for him. He also had serious abandonment issues, and had trouble dealing with being left alone in the house for even an hour. I'm not saying it was a mistake to adopt him - he brought so much brightness into our lives - but it is a mistake to promise people that adult dogs won't have behavior issues.

I get it but grown-a*s adult dogs and cats are all individuals and different so some of them still do some or even all those things but you can still train and teach most of them. Another problem is if animals aren't socialized right and trained from when they were little but even then they can in most cases still be worked with, taught and trained and deserve another chance

I have adopted adult animals all my life. Wish I had these posters when counseling others. Everyone wants a cute puppy ... until it chews their shoes, etc. and eliminates all over their apartment. Then, they post an ad online or bring them back.

We adopted a ten year old Dalmatian from our local rescue organization... and she was awesome! We were blessed enough to share our lives for 5.5 more years. I am 100% sold on adopting another mature/senior dog.

With my adopted cats and dogs, I am sorry to say, I was unaware of the senior pets in need of a home, at least now I hope to enlighten people of the seniors, I have seen some on t.v. programs of rescues, also learning of local pets, at this time in my life, I am unable to adopt more pets, however, it is well known now, let's adopt lonely Senior pets !!!

sharron lynn parsons 5 years ago

A good post, we need every idea we can think of to help adopt senior dogs and cats, Also, I know a group who rescue kittens and cats as that is a problem in my city, they are able to find homes for the kittens, however, the mother cats are left, so people need to adopt them and no kitten to train, and no furniture scratched up, get one or two scratch posts, put cat nip on them to entice the cats !!!

I really like the idea behind the campaign, and unless the cat gods send another one my way (which they tend to do for some reason), I'll adopt an adult one from a shelter.

One of my cats adopted me a young adult, and she was a weirdo up until the day she moved back out years later. Started out very timid, gave birth to the kittens she was very early on with when she turned up, became a love bug then suddenly changed into a demon from the 7th circle of hell. It was like she was bipolar or had DID. One second she was loving all over you, snuggling, nibbling your toes, then out of nowhere she'd start literally snarling, violently attack the closest part of you and run away. She'd then spend the next day or so spitting and growling from behind the furniture, ambushing you (not in a cute way) and just being the most unpleasant feline in the world. One day she just moved out. Little weirdo.
