Muttville Finds Homes for Older Pets
Thanksgiving is a special day for Rhonda Gonzalez – it’s the day her family got a special new addition.
On Thanksgiving day last year, Gonzalez adopted a lhasa apso dog named Ricky from an organization called “Muttville” that specializes in finding homes for older dogs.
The family was mourning the death of their golden retriever and the family’s other dog was hit hard by the loss and was acting out. …
“[Ricky] brought a new energy into our household,” said Gonzalez. “His loving and energetic spirit filled that void in our hearts.”
Gonzalez gives credit to Muttville for her happy story, and wants to get the word out about adopting “senior” dogs, who often get passed over in favor of puppies.
