Seniority has its privileges

Older pets can be terrific companions, and this month you can get a break on adopting one.

This month, it pays to be a senior—whether you walk on two legs or four.

The county’s Department of Animal Care and Control’s new promotion is called Super Senior May: Never Too Old to Play. Throughout the month, people over 60 will have their pet adoption fees waived at county shelters.

And everyone, regardless of age, will get discounted fees when they adopt any pet that is five years old or more.

Check out the department’s Facebook page for more information, and see whether you can find “puppy love” all over again with an older pet.
