Classic Canines, operated by volunteers in cooperation with Austin area shelters, helps to find a "Friend Till the End" for displaced senior dogs.

Dedicated toward rehoming dogs 7 years and older that have been displaced by transitional situations such as housing, incapacity of a caretaker, or other circumstances out of their control. These great animals are awaiting a new forever home in local shelters and often represent the highest need to exit the shelter system quickly and return to a suitable home environment after having been in a single home their entire life and abruptly placed into the care of the shelter.

WHY ADOPT A SENIOR DOG?
1. Adopting an older dog may save its life
2. Older dogs are usually trained and understand at least basic commands
3. Older dogs are calmer and less energetic than younger dogs
4. Older dogs generally are over the chewing stages
5. They have already been displaced and have waited longer for a new home
