Re: When Is Your Pet "Old?"
BHRG considers any basset 8 years or older to be "seniors". We adopt out seniors at a reduced donation fee ($100, instead of $200 for younger dogs), to try to encourage their adoption. So many people are afraid to adopt seniors, but honestly, if I had my wish, I'd only have seniors in my house from now on. They are SO mellow, and sweet, and wonderful. They have so much love left to give.
