Senior Pets makes the following statement: "We realize that companion animals are essential to keeping people healthy and vibrant and to reducing blood pressure and stress. Often older people need and want animals to give them love and companionship throughout their golden years.

We at Seniors Pets will work with Shelters to provide you a loving pet that fits you...for people 55 years or older. Senior Pets works with the following shelters in locating senior pets for senior citizens: Milford Animal Control, Silver Sand Beach, Conn.
