Carol Kane Champions Rescuing Older Dogs

Actress Carol Kane, 72, has a deep passion for rescuing older dogs, calling it “a wonderful thing.” Reflecting on her own experiences, Kane shares that her last two dogs, Johnny and Dainty, were both elderly when she adopted them. Despite Dainty’s frail condition, she defied expectations and lived five more years with Kane’s care and love.

Kane encourages potential dog parents to consider adopting older dogs, who are often overlooked in favor of puppies. She highlights the advantages of adopting an older dog, including their lower energy levels and the fact that they are often already housebroken. For Kane, there’s a natural “rhythm” that makes older dogs a perfect match for older owners.

She also emphasizes the emotional rewards of rescuing an older dog, noting their gratitude and resilience. Although Kane is still mourning the loss of Johnny, she suggests that her next companion might again be an older dog, appreciating the unique bond that can form with these animals.

Kane believes that a little love and care can have a profound impact on any creature, drawing a parallel between the needs of dogs and humans. For her, the joy of giving an older dog a second chance is immeasurable.
