Seniors for Seniors

“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened”
– Antole France

In an effort to promote our mission of supporting the human-animal bond, we recognize the benefits of matching senior animals (8 years +) with senior citizens (55 years +) in our community.

Senior pets offer many perks:

    Personality is established-what you see is what you get!

  • Need less exercise
  • Less of a long term commitment

Senior pets are often overlooked in a shelter setting where younger, more exuberant animals catch adopters eyes. To try and give senior pets a competitive advantage, we are offering these marvelous companions at a reduced adoption fee. Please see below for senior to senior pricing.

DOGS >8 years: $65 (+ $12 dog license)

CATS >8 years: $15

Your adventure in pet ownership starts here!

The Humane Society of Delaware County has a variety of adoptable pets available including cats, dogs and other small animals.
