November is a month full of festivities – Thanksgiving, Remembrance Day, Christmas preparations – But it’s also Adopt a Senior Dog Month!🐶💕
According to the @Aspca Official Ⓜ️ senior dogs have an average adoption rate of just 25% compared to roughly 60% for younger pups, making them some of the most vulnerable dogs in shelters.
But bringing a senior dog into your pack comes with a lot of benefits!
🐾 They’ve outgrown the puppy phase
🐾 They’re (usually) house trained
🐾 You get what you see
🐾 Rhey usually have medical history
🐾 They’re more laid back
🐾 You’ll be their hero! “Saving one dog won’t change the world, but surely the world will change for that one dog.”

🐾 All paws on deck! The last group of adoptable pups in the Parade of Pitties are from the Scott County Dog Rescue in Winchester, IL, Lucky Mutts in Dripping Springs TX, and the @Bixby Animal Rescue Network in Tulsa, OK.
Scott County Dog Rescue, Winchester, IL
🐶 Archie: Archie is about
3 1/2 years old, great in the house, and great with people he knows and trusts. He can be a bit wary of strangers and needs people that are willing to take the time and effort to win him over. He loves playing fetch and splashing/lounging in the kiddie pool. He doesn’t care for cats and while he does fine with an appropriately behaving female dog - he isn't a fan of other big males.
🐶 Sarge: Sarge is an incredible
dog who had a rough start in life - but he's turned into the nicest boy ever (as long as you aren't a cat!). He’s got lots of energy and he is a very willing learner. He is about 3 years old and would do best in a home with older children and/or another active dog.
Bixby Animal Rescue Network

🐶 Mr. Clark: Meet Calrk,
a curious, gentle boy who was given a rough start to life and is looking for his forever home. This sweet boy was brought in weighing just 35 pounds and with evidence of a home-done ear cropping. Having recently been given a clean bill of health, Mr. Clark needs a safe, loving home where he can continue blossoming into the wonderful dog he is.
🐶 Deonte: Deonte is a sweet,
playful boy who never ceases to make his people laugh. Everything is a toy to Deonte! This happy-go-lucky pup was recently DNA tested and is 100% American Pit Bull Terrier. He is great with kids but would prefer to be the only pet in the home. Deonte is a true family dog and isn’t loving life in boarding. Will he be the next addition to your pack?
Lucky Mutts:

🐶 XO: This handsome boy is
Xo, an 8-year-old terrier mix with the sweetest, happiest disposition. He loves to be with people and enjoys the company of smaller dogs. He is a very quiet boy, and you will very seldom hear him bark. This smart boy is house and crate trained and knows basic recall and commands. XO would do great being the solo dog in the home or have a smaller canine companion. He may look intimidating, but this sweetheart will never cease to make you smile!

🐶 Bo: Bo is a 2-year-old boy who is dog friendly and loves to run and play on the yard and enjoys special treats. He’s looking for a safe, loving place to overcome his fears and learn to trust people again.

🐶 Ace: Ace is a 4-year-old Border Collie/Staffy who has been looking for his forever home for over three years! Ace is great with people and loves children of all ages.

🐶 Sheldon: Sheldon is a 3–4-year-old American Staffy. He is dog friendly and housetrained and LOVES to cuddle. He has never had a test he didn't like. Sheldon has been in and out of foster care for over two years and we really aren't sure why he gets overlooked.
🐶 Benny: Benny thought he found his forever home last year but was returned after his dad's work schedule changed. Benny is a very sweet, smart boy. He loves walks, playing in the water, and being tucked in with his toys.

🐕🦺The Parade of Pitties marches on with some adoptable Pibbles from @finalfrontierrescueproject in Georgetown, TX.
🐶 Apolla: Apolla is a wiggly 5-year-old Pit Bull Terrier who enjoys the comfort of routine. She's had a couple of rough patches in life but has blossomed in her foster home. She loves car rides more than just about anything, though being a couch potato is up there, too. Apolla is a wonderful, easy girl. She's happy hanging out while you work, and she is a great companion.
🐶 Beau: Meet beau, a sweet American Staffy/ Pit Bull Terrier mix who loves exploring on a long line and wading in the pond. He's a wonderful adventure buddy! He has lived happily with other dogs and is pretty easy and flexible about the kind of home that would be a good fit.
🐶 Shaq: Meet Shaq! A sweet, one-year-old Black Mouth Curr looking for his forever family – ideally outside of Texas. Shaq is very athletic--he doesn't walk or run down stairs but leaps! He bonds very quickly with people who show him love and affection.
🐶 Tyler: Tyler is the whole package - Smart, kind, and INCREDIBLY handsome to boot! Tyler is a year old, about 55-60 pounds, and very loving and energetic. This boy is SMART! He would love to do agility or some kind of sport. Tyler would love a home with a fenced yard and a family of adults or older kids who are experienced with energetic dogs.
🐶 Martini: Martini is a smart, silly, affectionate dog. Although she’s about 65-70 pounds, she thinks she's a lap dog! She's very gentle when taking treats and is a wonderful co-pilot on car rides. Martini would prefer a home outside of Texas. We will work with an approved adopter to arrange transport.
🐶 Ty: Ty has made so many friends since he arrived at Final Frontier, yet he still awaits his forever home. Ty is a sweet, friendly boy with a traumatic past - he was horribly mistreated by his previous owner, but the staff and volunteers worked with him to help him feel safe and comfortable and now he needs a new family who will do the same. Ty is house trained, loves hanging out with his people, sunning himself in the yard, and going for car rides. On a recent trip to DQ, he enjoyed a pup cup, and he even waited for permission to help himself! What a polite pup!
🐶 Champ: Meet Champ, a super sweet senior Boxer/ Terrier mix who’s looking for is forever family! Champ is around 7 years old, neutered, and up to date on his shots. He has shown interest in and interacted calmly with two other senior male dogs as well as cats. Champ loves going on walks and smelling all the things and his droopy pittie lips will never fail to make you laugh. Help give his boy a proper home to live out his golden years being cherished and loved!
🐶 Kimmie: Kimmie is a darling 3-year-old girl with the cutest underbite you'll ever see! She is sweet, fully housebroken and loves to cuddle. She is happy to take a quick lap to get the zombies out and then go back to being your perfect 50-pound lap dog. Kimmie had a rough start in life when she was abandoned on the side of the road after giving birth. Let's help Kimmie find the loving home she deserves!
🐶 Baji: It’s a mixed blessing to be this cute! Baji is adorable but this little guy needs a very special home. True to his breed’s nature, Baji has some OCD tendencies. He's on fluoxetine (doggy Prozac) and it is helping, but he still has some work to go. For that reason, he needs a very savvy pet parent, an adults-only home, and a fenced yard where he can play off-leash. The good news is, he's very dog social and loves to play! #dnamydog #adoptashelterdogmonth #pitties #pitbullappreciationday #pitbullappreciationmonth #finalfrontierrescueproject #pitbullsoftiktok

6️⃣🗓️🐕 Day 6 is for the Hounds! When most people picture breeds in the Hound Group they think of the Basset Hound, Blood Hound, Coonhound, or other breed with the trademark long, floppy ears, big brown eyes, and deep baying bark.
But the Hound Group is a lot more diverse than that! With members ranging from the sleek, agile Pharaoh Hound to the shaggy Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, breeds in the Hound group come in a wide range of sizes and coat colours & textures.
Essentially all hounds were bred to assist with hunting in one way or another. Whether it be the cold-trail tracking skills of the Blood Hound or the Saluki’s ability to track and outrun all manner of prey, hounds are impeccable hunters.
Fun Fact:
Not only has the Bloodhound been hunting alongside humans since as early as 1066 BC, but they have approximately 300 million scent receptors – compared to just 5 million for us humans!
Well-known members of the Hound Group:
- Bloodhound
- Basset Hound
- Greyhound
Lesser-known members of the Hound Group:
- Saluki
- Ibizan Hound
- Rhodesian Ridgeback #dnamydog #dogdna #dogdnatest #nationaldogday #dogday2023 #terriergroup #terriers #terriersoftiktok

⏰ The countdown to Dog Day is on!🐶For the next 7 days we’ll be featuring one of 7 different dog groups - Think of it like the 12 days of Christmas but with puppies instead of partridges and pear trees🐶🕊️
We’re starting out day 1 with the Herding Group. Born with a natural instinct and ability to steer the movement of other animals, members of the herding group are highly intelligent, industrious, and active. They’ve even been known to herd their two and four-legged family members!
They were once classified as Working breeds, but in 1983 the distinction was made and the AKC established the Herding Group.
