Since this intelligent breed can adapt to their environment, and yes, even your lifestyle, they’ve been dubbed the “perfect dog” for those who spend most of their time lying down on the couch. The Pug wouldn’t mind if the older generation didn’t have the stamina to move and go out as much as they used to. Aside from their adaptability, Pugs are easy to care for because their fur needs little upkeep. The Pug is an excellent choice if you want a low-maintenance furry friend.

Mixed breeds

A furry companion doesn’t have to be a purebred dog. Mixed-breed dogs can also be excellent companions. Many experts recommend that seniors look for a mixed breed at their local shelter. This is because handlers have already evaluated shelter dogs for their medical needs, attitudes, and other characteristics. You don’t need to make a wild guess or do an “eeny,meeny, miny, moe” to know which dog will be the best for you as the handlers will be there to guide you. It’s also nice to know that dogs from shelters are usually trained, so you can skip the training and just cuddle with them right away.
