Senior dogs are dogs who are eight (8) years or older. 

Senior dogs are often discarded because they are no longer considered "young" or "fun." These wonderful dogs still have years of life and much love to give, and despite common beliefs, they adapt well to a new household.  Older dogs are typically difficult to place in adoptions because of their age and feared medical issues and costs.  The average lifespan of a Samoyed is 12 to 15 years.

Senior dogs are wonderful companion animals. There are many benefits to owning a mature pet.  Just some of those benefits are:

• Older dogs are usually housebroken

• Older dogs no longer chew on furniture, shoes or other family household items.

• Older dogs, most, enjoy an active life; however, they are much more calm and quieter than a puppy.

• Older dogs are much more likely to provide a calming effect, medically.
