We're so happy to announce that JULY is SENIOR MONTH at IGCA!! From July 1 - 31, 2009, Senior dogs are $125. Most of our more mature dogs end up staying in their foster homes so long, it feels like their home. Then they are adopted and have to start over. We are hoping that this will become an annual event with HUGE success! Adoption paperwork must be signed and dog officially paid for and adopted by July 31st. There will be a 7 day grace period in TX and OK as long as you have met the dog once prior to July 31.
If you have never had a senior IG in your home, you don't know what you're missing! Many IGs are still VERY playful at 9- and 10-years-old and can live to be anywhere from 15-21 years old, depending on their level of activity and diet. They bring such a warm, wise energy to your pack and you might be surprised at who chooses them as their best friend! IGCA Rescue has personally experienced everything from a 17-yr-old human boy becoming caretaker to a deaf, blind, 14-yr-old redheaded iggy girl to another IGCA Alumni who, at age 10 and partially deaf, has brought her 3-yr-old damaged iggy brother - more than twice her size - out of his shell and accepting kisses from people he knows!
Please see our senior dogs below for Oklahoma and Texas, followed by a senior from Louisiana.
