Age Is Only a Number
When we started looking for a new dog, we had no intention of adopting a senior. Only 10 months before, but feeling way more recent, we’d experienced the tail end of years of watching our senior dog, Roxie, decline, until we ultimately had to make that tough decision all pet owners dread.

Featured Adoptable Dog: Spike
Spike arrived at TAGS in September from a Sudbury pound.
