Pets offer companionship, emotional support, and routine—but caring for them can become challenging for seniors facing physical, financial, or health limitations. Without help, beloved pets may go without proper care or, in some cases, need to be rehomed. Studies show that nearly one in five pet owners over age 60 have considered giving up their pet due to declining health or financial hardship.
