I adopted a 13 year old golden. Her owners died, the daughter took her pitbull brother but couldn't take both. The son wouldn't take her in. I had her for just over 2 years. I have never regretted it. She went camping, to the drive-in, and had a good few last years.

Now, he is out of his cage most days, is active and has lost weight, his arthritis is almost non-existent. Very rarely has a seizure. And he goes camping and loves it!
Give the dogs new experiences and a happy old age. You will never regret it. Yes, they will be gone sooner than later, but they had quality for it. So worth it!
