It's so good that these older animals are being cared for like this. How sad, that the woman had to move and couldn't take her dog Molly with her. At least she can rest assured Molly will see out her days well cared for. But what a heartbreaking situation.
Some older animals may also come from situations in which their previous human companion has passed away. Then sometimes it's hard to find a new loving home for that cat, or dog, for whatever time they have left.
It's true that those who adopt an older animal are giving a lot of pure love, bless them.
But it also true that it's best if they do have some financial stability, as many older cats and dogs will need veterinary care at some point and it can run to quite a cost sometimes.
Misty hardly ever needed the vet. But in her last couple of years she did -quite frequently, and for expensive procedures. I didn't count the cost at the time, but it was quite a bit of money when I stop to think about it.
We all need more medical care as we get old. Very few avoid it, dogs and cats included.
