The Answer is Blowin' in the Wind

Dylan came into the shelter such a wonderfully fabulous boy we wanted to give him a chance. He's an older boy but obviously well cared for and a great resident of the shelter. Unfortunately, after 3 months his people never came calling for him.

Most people come into our shelter wanting a young dog. Two years old is too old for them. That is, until Susan came along, and specifically asked for an older dog. Susan only adopts "seniors" because most people overlook them, even though they have a lot of life left in them. Susan knew this and has found that older dogs make even better pets than the younger ones. And who is going to take care of the older dog in their older years?

Dylan (named after Bob Dylan -- another old timer) was clean and neat and nothing rattled him. Most shelters would kill him because who wanted an old dog anyway? And we are the first to admit that a shelter life is no life at all. But Dylan had a spring in his step, ate with gusto and enthusiasm, and got along with EVERYONE, including our resident shelter cat Sylvester.

Dylan may live another 5, maybe more, years. Who are we to not give this boy a shot? Thank you Susan for knowing this and giving Dylan the best years of his life.
