Rescue Dog's Mom Shares Important Message About Adopting Older Dogs

They need so much love and patience.

The sad truth is that most people don't want to adopt a senior dog. We understand why. It could be because they want as much time as possible with their fur babies. But it still breaks our hearts that older dogs are often a second thought. 

Hopefully, this video from TikTok user @enzothesquishking will encourage others to still adopt older dogs. This TikToker adopted an adult dog who has gone through multiple homes before. Ugh, our hearts. She shares what it's like with an older dog and her message is truly beautiful. Take a look!

Wow, this is so sweet. It also gives those who are thinking of adopting an older dog a quick glimpse into what it might be like. They will definitely need a little more patience and reassurance since they've experienced more trauma or heartbreak. But they will undoubtedly love you the most! 

"I'm so glad he has you to take the time and give the love. In return, you will be his whole world," commented @missysause. It's true! You can already see how much he loves this TikToker by the way he looks at the camera. @marlajojohnson added, "Thanks for loving him." And thank you for showing us what it's like to adopt an older dog. Let's hope more of these older babies can get their forever homes now!

Another TikTok user, @thoseeyes41, said, "He's a sweet baby. Glad he's finally home." Same! He's going to have the best life from here on out. We just know it! After all, she is right - time and love heal all wounds.
