JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Whether you’re a senior yourself or looking for a pet with lots of stories to tell, the Jacksonville Humane Society is offering adoption deals on August 21.
In celebration of National Senior Citizens Day, all pet adoptions are free on Thursday for senior pets or adopters 62 and older.
The event puts the spotlight on animals looking for someone to spend their retirement years with.
And who can resist those gray muzzles? 8-year-old Mildred, sporting her natural grays, is one of several seniors currently available for adoption.
