Rescue's 'Senior-for-Senior' Foster Program Is So Full of Love
This rescue helps pair senior citizens with senior dogs for fostering and adoption.
The companionship of a dog can be truly transformative for senior citizens. Studies have shown that owning a furry friend can significantly reduce stress, boost mood, and even contribute to a longer, more fulfilling life. That's why we're huge fans of programs like the one shared by dog foster @Allthefosterpups.
Muttville's senior for senior program connects elderly dogs in need of a loving home with senior citizens who are eager to adopt or foster them.

From the Muttville website: Muttville is based in San Francisco, California and is dedicated to creating better lives for senior dogs (age seven and older) through rescue, foster, adoption, hospice, education, and advocacy. Founded in 2007, Muttville was one of the first organizations in the country dedicated to saving senior dogs. Today, Muttville operates a cage-free facility with an in-house veterinary clinic, and saves over 1,000 senior dogs each year.

If you needed yet another reason to love this organization, the video creator posts, "They also have monthly Cuddle Club where senior citizens can just come in and cuddle with the dogs."
Dog ownership brings with it an abundance of benefits, and it's so special to see these people able to adopt dogs so they can both live out there golden years together.
