The Humane Society's Seniors for Seniors program offers to waive the adoption fee for companion animals seven years of age and older for qualified senior citizens, 60 years of age or older.
Studies have shown that pet companionship may actually improve senior citizen health and outlook on life. Lowered blood pressure and stress reduction are among the benefits of pet ownership. In addition, seniors acquiring pets through the program report feeling happier and safer.
To apply for the program, please complete a pre-adoption questionnaire and bring a photo ID for age verification. Adoption counselors will advise you about the background information on the animal you are interested in. All animals in our adoption program are spayed/neutered, have current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification and more!
