3. Pug

Pugs are a great option for elders to get as pets because they are charming and playful, and so not a boring day would go by with them by your side. At the same time, they are also resilient little things that do not require much exercise, so they are easy to handle as well. A bonus is that they are quite small, which means they meet the size requirements that many assisted living communities have in place.
