Madison, Wis. – The Green County Humane Society is calling on compassionate families to adopt two senior dogs, Missy and Masey, who are looking for a peaceful place to spend their golden years.
Meet Missy and Masey
Missy, a gentle eight‑year‑old wearing a blue sweater, and her older sister Masey, an eleven‑year‑old, were surrendered by their previous owner when she needed to enter hospice care. The sisters have been bonded since birth and thrive best when they have each other’s company.
Why Adopt Senior Pets?
Senior dogs like Missy and Masey often bring calm, steady companionship to a household. They are typically house‑trained, have settled temperaments, and require less intensive training than younger puppies. The humane society notes that older dogs are especially suited to families seeking a low‑maintenance pet who will appreciate quiet evenings and gentle affection.
Adoption Details
Erin Emery, a volunteer with the Green County Humane Society, emphasizes the importance of keeping the sisters together, though she acknowledges that they could also thrive as a single pet if a home cannot accommodate both. “A lot of times when dogs are older, and they’re used to being part of littermates, they can adapt pretty well if you have another dog in the home,” Emery said.
The sisters previously lived with an older woman, so they are accustomed to a quieter environment where they can curl up on a lap or rest beside a favorite chair. Potential adopters are encouraged to provide a calm, stable setting that respects the dogs’ need for rest.
Adoption Incentives and Upcoming Events
To make adoption more accessible, the Green County Humane Society is offering a 50 % discount on adoption fees for all pets through November 15. In addition, the organization will host SNAP clinics for cats on November 21 and December 5, providing low‑cost veterinary services to the community.
How to Bring Missy and Masey Home
Families interested in giving Missy and Masey a forever home can contact the humane society online at greencountyhumane.org, call 608‑325‑9600, or visit the shelter in person at N3156 WI‑81 in Monroe.
Adopting senior pets not only offers a loving companion but also frees up space for younger animals in need of rescue. The Green County Humane Society encourages residents to consider the unique joys that older dogs bring to a household.
