A Woman’s Best Friend
This elderly lady decided that she wanted a friend to cure her loneliness. This was the perfect doggo for her because a puppy would have been too playful for the lady to keep up. From the smile on the woman’s face, we can tell that she made the right decision.

Hugs and Attention
Hugs And Attention
It’s far too common for people to walk into a shelter and find dozens of newborn puppies. For this reason, many older dogs don’t get new homes. However, this wasn’t the case for this handsome guy who was showered with hugs and attention.
A Trip to the Park
Dogs in the shelter don’t get to experience a day at the park. That could be the reason that this doggo was so exhausted after having an exciting day at the park. He wore himself out while playing with his new family.

Reborn
It’s incredibly common for older dogs to be passed up for a younger, cuter, and more vibrant dog. This makes it difficult for these older dogs to get adopted, but when they do, it’s a very special moment. These moments are quite like a rebirth for the dog.

Bull Terriers are often misunderstood, just like Pit Bulls. The fact of the matter is that dogs become aggressive only when they are mistreated or mishandled. Bull Terriers (and Pit Bulls) are perfectly capable of being loving as long as they are treated properly. This lovely doggie is lucky to have found a loving home!
