The Joys of Canine Companionship

Dogs bring purpose, comfort, and unconditional love. For residents in senior living, a pet can be a loyal companion and a great motivator for staying active.
They also encourage social connection—it’s easy to make new friends when you’re out walking a dog around the Crane’s Mill campus!

🐶 Best Small Dog Breeds for Seniors

When choosing the right dog, consider temperament, size, grooming, and exercise needs.
Here are a few breeds that make wonderful companions for older adults:

• Cavalier King Charles Spaniel: Gentle, affectionate, and great lap dogs
• Pug: Low-maintenance and full of personality
• Shih Tzu: Calm, loyal, and perfect for apartment living
• French Bulldog: Easygoing and affectionate
• Bichon Frise: Cheerful and hypoallergenic
• Maltese: Loving and great for smaller spaces
