Senior Dog Dawn Needs Your Help!

By Franki Williams

November is Adopt-A-Senior Pet month and here at the Humane Society of Ventura County we are celebrating the charms and perks of adopting a senior animal. At any one time, nearly one third of the animals available here at the shelter are considered seniors. Dawn, a ten year old Doberman and Vizsla mix is just one of the many animals who will find themselves at the shelter during their golden years. Dawn was brought to the HSVC last month after being rescued in the field by our Humane Officers. Officers were responding to a tip about an older dog who was in poor health and living in unsanitary conditions. Dawn's previous owners agreed with the Officers that she would do best in the hands of the Humane Society and she was signed over to the shelter in order to recuperate and find a loving forever home.
