Maple the senior bulldog

Maple the senior bulldog

Hello again everyone, link to my last post. I went and saw Maple so here’s some info:
The vet thinks she’s got nuclear sclerosis, elbow dysplasia, severe gum disease(her mouth stinks) and a huuugee underbite

She struggles to walk and mostly just chills. I have a baby bulldog at home and a middle age, very mellow and agreeable pug. The pound says she will stand over other dogs to assert dominance but doesn’t hurt them.
She’s overweight and needs a bath.
All that said, I still want to give her a comfortable place to be for the last of her life but I need a good insurance for her before committing. I’ve seen several senior insurances but I haven’t had dog insurance before.
So do any of you have any suggestions on insurance or advice on her suspected health issues?

How old is this bulldog

Hi everyone!
I saw a post that this little lady is at my local shelter. They say she is about 10 years old. In your experience how old does she actually look? Google says that the average lifespan of a bulldog is 8-10 years old. I wouldnt mind adopting a dog with a short life left but I would like to have as much info as I can before I make any choices.
Do we think she got dropped off because she is so old?
