HOUSETRAINED: Older dogs are housetrained. You won't have to go through the difficult stage(s) of teaching a puppy house manners and mopping/cleaning up after accidents.
NO CHEWING:Older dogs are not teething puppies and won't chew your shoes and furniture while growing up.
PAY ATTENTION: Older dogs can focus well because they've mellowed. Contrary to the old saying, old dogs can and do learn new tricks because they focus to learn!
UNDERSTAND "NO": Older dogs have learned what "No" means. That's how they got to be "older" dogs :o)
SETTLE IN: Older dogs settle in with the "pack" easily, because they've learned what it takes to get along with others and become part of a pack.
GIVE LOVE: Older dogs are good at giving love. Once they get into their new, loving home, they are grateful for the second chance they've been given.
WYSIWYG: What You See is What You Get: Unlike puppies, older dogs have grown into their shape and personality.
INSTANT COMPANIONS: Older dogs are instant companions -- ready for walks, car trips, and other things you like to do.
GIVE YOU TIME: Older dogs leave you time for yourself. They don't make the kinds of demands on your time and attention that puppies and youngsters do.
SLEEP!: Older dogs let you get a good night's sleep because they're accustomed to human schedules and don't generally need night-time feedings, comforting or potty breaks.
