Seniors 4 Seniors Program at DVGRR
We've implemented a Seniors 4 Seniors Program and if you (or someone you care about) are age 65+ and would enjoy the companionship of a senior Golden Retriever, this program is a perfect way to enhance life!
Given that the many older adults are living on fixed incomes and must be more careful about budgetary concerns, DVGRR’s Seniors 4 Seniors program incorporates several financial incentives for older adults to consider adopting an older dog. These, combined with the emotional advantages of sharing one’s life with an easy-going, relaxed, calm Golden Retriever, serve to create a win-win situation for the humans and dogs alike.
