At Eastwood Ranch Foundation, we believe that love knows no age—and that sometimes, the most meaningful connections happen later in life. That’s why we’re proud to introduce our “Senior to Senior” Adoption Program—a special initiative offering 50% off adoption fees for any senior citizen (age 65 or older) who adopts a senior pet (age 7 or older).
Why Senior Pets?
Older dogs and cats are often overlooked in shelters, despite having so much love left to give. These animals are typically already house-trained, past their high-energy puppy or kitten stages, and full of calm affection. They’re loyal, loving, and ready to settle into a peaceful life—just like many of the humans who adopt them.
Senior pets make ideal companions for older adults who are looking for a calm, steady presence in their lives. Whether it’s a gentle purring cat curled up on the couch or a mellow dog who enjoys short walks and long naps, these animals bring comfort, companionship, and purpose.
Why Senior Adopters?
Studies have shown that pet ownership can provide major health benefits for older adults, including:
- Reduced stress and blood pressure
- Increased physical activity
- Decreased feelings of loneliness and isolation
- A renewed sense of routine and purpose
50% Off Adoption Fees
To help make these perfect matches happen, we’re offering 50% off the adoption fee for eligible seniors adopting senior pets. Every adoption still includes all the essentials: vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchipping, and a health check—just at half the cost.
It’s our way of saying thank you to older adults and giving our senior animals the loving homes they deserve.
Double the Love, Double the Impact
Can’t adopt right now? You can still help save lives—twice over.
We’ve launched our Double the Love, Double the Impact campaign, where every dollar donated is matched up to $500,000 from the months of May through September. That means your generosity goes twice as far: providing food, shelter, medical care, and rehabilitation for animals who need a second chance.
Give today. Change a life. And watch your impact double.
From frightened seniors like Kershaw, to loving cats like Winston, your donation helps us give overlooked animals the time and resources they need to heal and find loving homes—often through programs like “Senior to Senior.”
Ready to Meet Your Match?
If you or someone you know is 65+ and ready to open your home to a senior dog or cat, we invite you to visit Eastwood Ranch Foundation Adoption and Rescue Center. Our team will help guide you to the perfect companion and ensure you have all the support you need for a smooth transition.
Because every stage of life deserves love. And every animal deserves a home.
All of the pets featured in this article are currently available seniors at Eastwood Ranch Adoption Center in Agoura Hills.
