Henderson offers half off senior pet adoptions for Senior Pet Month

In recognition of Senior Pet Month, the City of Henderson Animal Protection Services is offering a special deal to encourage the adoption of senior pets. During the month of November, adoption fees for pets aged 7 years and older are reduced by half. This initiative aims to highlight the often overlooked benefits of adopting senior pets, who are frequently calmer and may already be trained, making them suitable for various lifestyles. The adoption center is located at 300 E. Galleria Drive and operates from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday. It is closed on Sundays and government-recognized holidays, with adoptions finalized by 4:30 p.m. This is a wonderful opportunity for those looking to give a loving home to an older pet. Senior pets, especially those who are older and have spent time in shelters, deserve a chance at a happy life. By adopting a senior pet, you not only provide them with a loving home but also free up space in shelters for other animals in need. The City of Henderson Animal Protection Services encourages everyone to visit their facility to meet the senior pets available for adoption. This is a great chance to find a furry friend who might just be the perfect addition to your family. For those interested in adopting a senior pet, visit the adoption center during their operating hours. You can also view the adoptable animals online to get a sense of who might be the right fit for your home. Supporting the adoption of senior pets aligns with the mission of organizations like Lily's Second Chance, which focuses on helping older dogs find their forever homes. Consider adopting a senior pet this month and give them the love and care they deserve.
