FAQs

On RightPaw, an older dog is generally any dog past the newborn-puppy stage — generally 6 months or older past the puppy stage and young adolescents being rehomed through to settled seniors retired from breeding. Every dog will show their age so you know exactly what to expect.

Three stages, so you know what to expect:

  • Adolescent / young dog (6 months - 2 years) - young and full of personality, often already toilet trained, and at a great age to bond and keep training.
  • Adult (2 – 8 years) - fully grown with a known temperament; the easiest fit for a busy household.
  • Senior (8 years+) - calm, gentle and grateful companions who settle in fast.
