Why Retirees Make Some of the Best Dog Owners, and Why Age Is Just a Number
At Boise Doodle Co., some of our very favorite puppy parents are over 60. Yep, you read that right. Age? It’s just a number. Love, commitment, and the desire to spoil a puppy rotten? That’s what really matters.
We’ve had the honor of placing puppies in homes from Idaho to Utah, California to Las Vegas and even the Big Apple- New York! We can confidently say that retired folks bring something truly special to the table.
So, Why Are Retirees Such Amazing Puppy Parents?
Time & Attention: Let’s be honest—puppies are a lot. They’re adorable chaos nuggets. And retirees often have the time, patience, and calm routines that help these pups thrive.
Spoil Level: Expert: The treats. The toys. The plush beds. The puppy massage sessions. These dogs are living their best lives, and you know what? They deserve it—and so do you.
Companionship That Goes Both Ways: Puppies bring joy, purpose, and that irresistible wagging tail when you walk through the door. They keep you active, social, and smiling. And in return, you give them a loving, structured, and safe home.
But What If My Dog Outlives Me?
I get this question a lot. And here's the truth: None of us are promised tomorrow. We make plans for our kids, our homes, and yes, our pets. I’ve made arrangements for mine, just like many of my families do.
Whether it’s written into your will, part of your trust, or just a good ol’ heart-to-heart with your adult children or best friend, planning for your dog’s future is just one more way you show love.
Life planning isn’t about fear. It is about peace of mind. And when you’ve already given your pup the best life imaginable, that’s a legacy of love right there.
Age Should Never Be a Barrier
We don’t discriminate. Ever. In fact, we celebrate our over 200+ puppy parents. You have:
Stable homes
Predictable routines
Deep wells of love and life experience
You're not “too old” to get a dog. You’re the perfect kind of human for one.
If you're in Boise, Salt Lake City, San Diego, Las Angeles, New York, Las Vegas or anywhere in between, and you’ve been thinking about adding a furry companion to your life, consider this your sign. You’ve got love to give, and there’s a puppy out there just waiting for it.
Because age doesn’t define your ability to love. Your heart does.
And let’s be real… nobody spoils a dog like a retired human with a Costco-sized box of Milk-Bones and a heart of gold.
