Gracie is up for adoption in Arizona.

Senior pets make great pets. Like Gracie, pictured to the left. She’s a border collie mix, just like the Gracie in my forthcoming novel. My dog is also a border collie mix and was a senior when we adopted her.

Here are some reasons to consider adopting a senior from the ASPCA:

1. What You See Is What You Get
2. Easy to Train
3. Seniors are Super-Loving
4. They’re Not a 24-7 Job
5. They Settle in Quickly
6. Fewer Messes
7. You Won’t Bite Off More Than You Can Chew
8. They Enjoy Easy Livin’
9. Save a Life, Be a Hero
10. They’re CUTE!
