SENIOR DISCOUNT PROGRAM

Attn: adopters aged 65 or older. The Connecticut Humane Society offers a $20 discount  off the standard adoption fee for an adult cat or dog (1 - 7 years old).  People can choose from the wonderful cats and dogs available for adoption in any of our locations.  Studies have shown that pet companionship has numerous physical and psychological benefits for individuals and families who have animals living in their homes.

 ***The Senior Discount Program offer cannot be combined with any other
adoption discount pricing packages.***

Pets can help reduce stress and lower blood pressure.

Pets can be an encouragement to get some exercise.

Pets give us a reason to get up in the morning; a sense of purpose...a responsibility to another individual.

Pets offer us non-judgemental, unconditional love.

Pets can be an instant conversation starter.  What better way to invite social interaction than with a cute cat or dog?

Pets have shown to be especially helpful in easing the pain and depression associated with many health problems because of their innate ability to positively affect our outlook on life.

Qualifying seniors will undergo the standard adoption process that is required for all adopters.   Through the Senior Discount Program, people can meet adult dogs and/or cats depending upon the availability of suitable animals.
