Please, please feature senior dogs! They are generally overlooked but they have so much life and love in them. I'm writing this with a very good girl snuggled up against my side, a 12-ish-year-old terrier mix I adopted right before the pandemic hit. Best decision I've made in many years! She's just the best dog anyone could wish for: loving, cuddly, playful, clever, silly, and just an endless source of joy. Please help raise awareness for all the older doggos out there in need of a loving home! And if you're thinking about adopting, don't forget about the seniors.

[@rachelgilbert3164]

I’m so sad that every time they do this segment, this is the number one comment I see! I’m so happy your dog found a cozy home to spend the rest of her life 💕 You’re totally right, older dogs just need more visibility!

[@debann2864]

Yes,Older dogs too. Maybe they can do both. 🐶🐶🤩

[@kamillagutierrez9006]

Tbh taking care of senior dogs isn’t easy or cheap so maybe thats why it’s not always encouraged for everyone to adopt them. Not that any dog isn’t a big responsibility but senior dogs need special attention and care

[@annjohnson8437]

Yes, older dogs need the spotlight on them too. They have so much love to give and they are often overlooked by adopters.

[@thereasaford]

@@theodorerobert6579 you are probably right in the fact that he probably will never do an adult dog version of this. But why do people need to stop asking? With all the terrible things people say hoping for a segment to help animals is not a bad thing

Y’all a dog adopted is a dog adopted. They’re working WITH a shelter, and the shelter clearly decides to provide them with puppies. Older dogs are harder to work with, especially in crowds, they can’t all be carried, they’re fussier with costumes, and there’s probably a higher risk of a dog fight if they put a bunch of old dogs together. The show is doing WHAT they CAN in the safest way possible. Stop asking for them to do the segment with older dogs. This segment is successful, and I’m sure they drum up a bunch of web traffic on the shelter’s site that causes other dogs to be adopted too.

[@karimylo4002]

Well these puppies will not become full grown dogs in kennels. So at least there is that. And I'm sure this drives traffic to that rescue for the other animals there. Not everyone wants the work of a puppy.

[@Tao_Tology]

Those 'full grown dogs' are racoons in disguise. I'm not getting fooled a fourth time.

[@swarn004]

Can you do one featuring senior rescue dogs?! Or even just adult dogs that have been in shelters for a long time? Come on, Stephen, they deserve it!

[@mgb7140]

I completely agree. Puppies get adopted. It really isn't a big deal to do that. If you *really* want to help dogs, the seniors, the ill, the ones who have been abandoned for long periods of time -- those are the ones you feature. Not as cute on TV, but with the Colbert bump, that would make a difference.

[@gargwinvinesnake6961]

Agree. I have volunteers with rescues and every puppy is adopted, sadly many are returned once they're no longer puppies.

[@wholeshebang1]

@@gargwinvinesnake6961 - That's likely because potential adopters don't research the *_breed,_* to determine if _its physical_ and _psychological needs_ will suit *_their_* lifestyle/activity level and ability to provide such. Many also don't realise the time commitment and patience needed to train a puppy, and want a quick fix. They give up and return them, which can increase uncertainty (anxiety, distrust) in the puppy or dog.

Shelters are full of senior animals. Please consider adopting an older senior companion animal. Your heart will thank you. #SpayNeuter #AdoptDontShop #AdoptASenior ❤🐾

Check out the rescue "Old Dogs Go To Helen" online. She's based in New Hampshire and rescues senior dogs who need special care, and often have little time left. Truly heart warming!

[@cleverusername9369]

As a lover of pit bulls, I just want to express my appreciation for the Late Show team finally being honest about the rescue puppies and saying "pit bull mix". I think this is the first time I've seen them actually say "pit bull" in this segment, they usually just call obvious pit bull puppies "lab mix". Thank you, LSSC, pit bulls are wonderful dogs and deserve love as much as any other dog.

[@FakeAccount-gc6di]

This is great. I love how he does this. However, let’s be honest, it’s easy for puppies to be adopted vs adult and senior dogs. They’re the ones who truly need attention.

[@uosdwiSrdewoH]

I understand why they only do pups since they're more likely to be rescued but I think the segment helps senior dogs as well even if not directly. There's usually only about 6-8 dogs featured. I'm sure more people check the website. Maybe it even makes someone consider the possibility when they may not have before. If the pups aren't there there are definitely people who keep looking and find an older dog.

[@CrystalLynn1988]

Please adopt older animals. Not just dogs but cats and other animals too.

[@TheDrexxus]

I adopt all my dogs, and I have tried so hard to adopt senior dogs, but I just can't do it. I know i'll fall in love with them, and I won't have long with them before they die of old age and it'll rip my heart out. Also, I don't have an enormous disposable income to provide special care or the vet bills that go with it. If there were some charity or something that would eat the costs of actually caring for these senior dogs, i'd be all for it, but I can barely afford the dogs I have and it would probably spiral me into depression having so many die in rapid succession.

[@reidcushman3562]

Like many other commenters here, I will both admire the segment (how can one be against puppies?) and make a plea for some kind of segment about the adult dogs who languish in shelters (puppies go in days, at least where I volunteer) and too often never make it out alive. But I will also take a stand against what some have commented here: I think the #LSSC team reads comments, and it can perhaps make a difference in their programming. Nobody puts on a show that good, week after week, year after year, without paying attention to every detail including "customer feedback" even in the backwaters of KZbin. (And I haven't even taken on the issue of shelter cats that need homes....)
