WHEN IT COMES TO ADOPTING A PET, OLD IS OFTEN BEST

DEAR ABBY: We are seniors like "Thinking About Adopting in
Las Vegas" (Feb. 2), who wants to adopt a dog. He may find
it difficult to adopt one, especially since big hearts and
lots of love and patience many times aren't considered
"enough" today. We were denied every dog we wanted to adopt
until a volunteer at Petfinder.com advised us that consid-
ering our ages, we should adopt a senior dog. We took their
advice and have been blessed with 9-year-old Benji for
almost a year.

Puppies are like grandchildren -- full of love, but they
can leave us seniors exhausted. Senior dogs nap, are more
mellow than puppies and are usually housebroken. If that
man outlives his dog, he'll know he gave his precious little
one a good home and lots of love. If Petfinder is in his
area, they will make sure your little one is adopted into
the perfect home -- not just "any" home.
-- BENJI'S PARENTS IN WASHINGTON STATE

DEAR BENJI'S PARENTS: Thank you for supporting the adoption
of older dogs. Readers provided some doggone good resources
for adopting -- or acting as a foster parent -- for an
abandoned or abused dog. Read on:

DEAR ABBY: In most states people can now create a trust for
their pet. They can put funds into it and, in this way, bene-
fit their pet by naming a trustee and caretaker to assure it
will be taken care of until it passes away. In the trust
they can state all their wishes, as singer Dusty Springfield
did in stating she wanted her dog fed only imported baby
food, its bed lined with her nightgowns and her records
played when it went to sleep.

SUPER SIZE SHAMMIE
Made In Germany, Don't Be Fooled By Others...

Retail Price: $9.99
DEAL PRICE: $2.99
Get two for $4.98

Now is the time to get this FULL SIZED SHAMMIE for just $2.99.
Made in Germany don't be fooled by others on the market that
just don't do the job AND are more than triple the price!

Like on TV, this Super Size Shammie Absorbs 50% than natural
chamois. It's extra large size of 27 x 17 can be cut in half
for smaller jobs. Durable enough for just about any task, but
soft and gentle enough for use on any surface.

It's the PERFECT cleaning cloth and has hundreds of household
uses: floors, countertops, appliances, furniture windows, pets
and more. Perfect for washing car or boat, too!. Like on TV,
this soft, absorbent and non-abrasive cloth is 100% polyester
and will not scratch or damage any surface. Best of all... it's
reusable! Just machine washable... but do not tumble dry.

DEAR ABBY: Most Humane Societies now offer a "senior for
senior" discount where a qualified senior citizen can adopt
a senior companion animal, usually 7 years old or older,
with all the fees waived. Please tell "Thinking" that he can
find what he's looking for in companionship, and a middle-
aged or older dog that would usually be passed up at the
pound will get a new leash on life.
-- TANNA, DIAMOND BAR, CALIF.

DEAR ABBY: Many dog rescues need kind, loving foster homes
for abused and abandoned animals who are awaiting adoption.
It is hard to give up a dog after you have fostered and
taken care of it for a while, and you do have the option of
adopting it yourself, but believe me, this is definitely a
worthwhile cause. When you take in a foster, their eyes are
dull. But after receiving love and attention from a care-
giver, those eyes sparkle and you know you have done some-
thing wonderful.
-- JILLIE IN HUMBLE, TEXAS

DEAR ABBY: After practicing as a vet for 35 years, may I
offer a suggestion to your readers? Wonderful older pets are
put to sleep every day at shelters across the country. These
pets are usually housetrained, leash-trained, calm and eager
for love and attention. Puppies (and kittens), on the other
hand, need constant attention, training and activity.

Visit a pet shelter, and you may find your "perfect" com-
panion patiently waiting for your love.
