Nana says senior pets are the best!

Hi Winston! Hello readers!

My name is Nana and I have been staying at the Humane Society’s Pet Hotel for some time since Dog Control found me and called me in. Let me tell you, it is a wonderful place to live until I find my forever home. Definitely five stars!

I feel so blessed to live here, even temporarily … The staff are so wonderful and I have made a ton of friends. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I am about ten years old and the staff here have helped me a lot since I arrived.

When I was brought in I was losing my fur and couldn’t walk too well … the staff gave me special medicated baths to help my fur grow and I go (and look) much better ! I am a very sweet older lady who would be a wonderful addition to anyone’s home. I get along well with other dogs and cats, but a good meeting would be necessary.

Why not try your luck by adopting an older animal? We don’t ask for much at all and don’t need a lot of care. We are quite adaptable and we evolve with the changes that life offers. Thanks Winston!

– Lots of love, Nana

Dear Nana:

Thanks for writing! I agree that senior animals make the best pets. Why not enrich your life by adopting one? Good luck my friend!

– Regards, Winston

We have Science Diet pet food that you can buy direct from us! We have food for puppies, dogs, kittens and cats.

Additionally, if your pet is on a special diet and needs a particular type of Science Diet food, we can order it for you. We may have it in stock, so please call 315-336-7070 and ask. If we don’t have it, we’ll order it for you! We will also be more than happy to bring your order straight to your car.
