MEET YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND

This is a personal project that began to spotlight senior animals available for adoption. When I helped my parents find their 3-year-old rescue, I was moved by the special notes on the cages indicating long-stay or senior animals who had been waiting months for homes. “Meet Your New Best Friend” has expanded to feature all types of adoptable animals—from senior dogs like 10-year-old Coco to 3-month-old puppies like Cornbread.
