A special reminder that it’s Adopt a Senior Pet Month! This is the purrfect time to consider opening your heart and home to an older dog or cat who’s looking for a second chance. Senior pets are often the last to be adopted, yet they’re among the most grateful and gentle companions you could ask for. With their calm temperaments and established personalities, they fit easily into new homes and routines. So don’t wait, save a senior today!

*Special Request* Flap Jack is a dapper, 12-week-old black and white tuxedo. Upon making this adorable little fella’s acquaintance, you will quickly learn that his determination to overcome his challenges is extraordinary, and one of his many endearing and inspiring qualities.

This charming and spunky boy is incredibly affectionate…cuddles and TLC will be rewarded with the delightful serenade of his sweet purr. It is nearly impossible to resist Flap Jack’s warm and gentle nature when he reveals how exceptionally lovable he really is. He has a lifetime of love and companionship to share. Flap Jack would thrive in a home that understands and supports his mobility challenges.

*Senior Alert and Special Request* Antoni is a 13-year-old senior cat who’s been through some big changes. His previous owners may have given up on him, but Animal League America never will.

Despite having a heart condition and needing a special diet (both covered by our Pet Health Centers), Antoni’s spirit is bright. He is also declawed and without teeth, so a loving, protective home will be a place he deserves to retire to.

Check out this charming boy, Chewie! He is a one-year-old Pit Bull mix who was rescued from Louisiana and is now ready to find a family of his very own. Chewie arrived at Animal League America as a slightly older pup and has been overlooked for quite some time. Chewie needs a strong personality to match his own, and someone that is able to show him a proper routine. He does well with young children 12 years of age or older and if you have another dog in the home, Animal League America can arrange for all of them to meet prior to adoption to ensure it is fit for everyone. Chewie is a strong and active canine and would love to go home to an owner who has experience with dogs of a similar size or breed to him.
Chase is a 5-year old pit bull terrier mix who came back to Animal League America in July when his family had to move and couldn’t take him along. He’s been having a tough time readjusting to shelter life, and really could use a new forever family to call his own. Chase would thrive with an experienced dog owner who understands his mature personality.
