Havanese
Like the Maltese, the Havanese is a great choice of dog for seniors. They’re playful, loving, and a small breed that has moderate exercise needs. They become devoted to their owners and love spending time with them. Their coat is easy to maintain with regular brushing and they’re sweet and gentle dogs that aren’t high-strung.
Maltese
With minor exercise needs, a Maltese is a great choice for seniors. They don’t need a whole lot of grooming and have a lot of love to share. The breed adjusts well to smaller spaces or apartments and will love just spending time cuddling. They’re often used as therapy dogs due to their calm nature.
