How much does it cost to adopt a senior dog near Imlay City?

What should I expect when I bring a newly adopted senior dog home?
Most senior dogs have a brief adjustment period — a few days to a couple of weeks — as they settle into a new home. They're often shy at first, then relax once they feel safe. A calm routine, a comfortable place to rest, and patience make the transition easier for both of you.
