Older dogs.

I have a personal preference and a soft spot for older dogs in my heart. My first dog, Daisy, was a 7 year old Colombian mix who turned my life upside down during the following eight years together. Older dogs are wise, calm.. they are those gentle souls who listen to you with their hearts and whose body only needs a little more rest than the other dogs. Since I am an introspective person who enjoys quiet time, I have a strong connection with senior dogs, and all of that is thanks to my late Daisy. I found a way to turn this feeling into action by joining the team of volunteers of Classic Canines, a non-profit that promotes adoption and welfare of older dogs in Austin and surrounding areas. It has been more than three years and tons of stories, adoptions, sometimes tears, and frosted faces. It is al worth it. This is just a sample of those magical moments I have been lucky enough to live.
