There are so many perks to adopting a senior pet. For starters, you\u2019re giving them a new lease on life and opening up your home to a shelter animal who desperately needs the love. And though they say you can\u2019t teach an old dog new tricks, that\u2019s not true! Senior pets are trainable, and you\u2019re able to skip some of the training that comes with a new puppy or kitten like potty training, basic commands, and not tearing up your shoes while you\u2019re away. Here are the best places in Memphis to adopt a senior pet this month, as well as some great local spots to show them around town!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where to Adopt in Memphis<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With so many rescue organizations in the 901, you have so many options in finding the right senior pet for you. In fact, the hardest part may be not taking them all home! Check out these local shelters to find your next best furry friend, or if you can\u2019t bring home a new pet just now, you can always volunteer, donate, or even foster an animal temporarily.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/memphishumane.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby Co.<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bartletttnanimalshelter\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bartlett Animal Shelter<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/woofriveranimalrescue.wordpress.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Woof River Animal Rescue<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.memphispetsalive.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Memphis Pets Alive<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tailsofhopedogrescue.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tails of Hope Dog Rescue<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/houseofmews.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">House of Mews<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunnymeadows.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sunny Meadows Safe Haven for Pets<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.germantown-tn.gov\/live\/public-works\/animal-shelter\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Germantown Animal Shelter<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mewtopiacatrescue.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mewtopia Cat Rescue<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newbeginningsanimalrescue.net\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Beginnings Animal Rescue<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pet-Friendly Spots Around Memphis<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to socialize your new pet?
