20 Best Dog Breeds for Seniors

19. Boston Terrier

This happy little dog is definitely a senior’s best friend – meet the quirky Boston Terrier! Since the Terrier is on the smaller side, carrying it won’t be a problem (although they do tend to weigh a little more than they appear to). Maintenance-wise, these cute dogs definitely don’t require much effort other than keeping their short coat clean with the help of a bristle brush. And if you’re worried that you can’ t provide a big yard and lots of space to run for your new friend, you’ll be happy to know that the Boston Terrier is more than adaptable and happy to live in an urban setting.
