Mixed breeds
There is no need for a furry companion to be a purebred dog. Mixed breed dogs also make extremely fantastic companions. In fact, many experts advise seniors at their local shelters to go for a mixed breed. This is because dogs that go through a shelter are already evaluated for their care requirements, personalities, and other handlers’ qualities. It’s great to know that dogs are usually trained in shelters, so you can skip the training process and just go with them right into cuddling.

Yorkshire Terrier
If you want a small and gentle dog that can be with you for a long time, the Yorkshire Terrier is the one for you. As long as you take care of it, this breed can live up to an average life span of 13 to 20 years. It is commonly found in apartments and assisted living centers since the Yorkshire Terrier is another low-maintenance breed. Yorkies just require daily brushing, so having them around is not a hassle.
