Senior dogs, unfortunately, are often overlooked; however, this was not the case for Rocky, a 17-year-old rescue dog who finally found his forever home!
It all began when a compassionate young couple visited the shelter with the intention of making a donation. During a brief stroll through the adoptable dogs, they quickly became smitten with Rocky.

Rocky’s new owner was eager to improve the quality of his life, as well as her own. As a matter of fact, senior dogs merit the same treatment as their younger counterparts, if not better, particularly during their golden years. Therefore, they welcomed Rocky into their residence.

The new owner of the dog took to social media to share a post about Rocky, emphasizing that being a senior does not imply a lack of entitlement to a happy existence. She also encouraged individuals to consider adopting older dogs.

Rocky was undoubtedly fortunate to have been adopted by a couple who visited the shelter with the intention of donating, but as fate would have it, it was his day! What are your thoughts on this?
