My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please read the bio in full for answers to your questions. In the event you have a question that is not covered in the bio, please email info@seniordoghaven.org. If interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application which can be found at https://seniordoghaven.org/adoption-process/.

Please note that because all our dogs live in foster homes, we are unable to set up meetings with a dog unless we have a completed adoption application on file. Adoptions must be about within an hour of Wilmington, DE for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit.

Meet Etta! Etta is a 12-year-old, 8 lb. mystery breed of furry cuteness. She was found as a stray suffering from long-term neglect, and we lovingly welcomed her into our care.
Etta was spayed, had 13 teeth removed, and was treated for a UTI. She has a bit of arthritis but doesn’t require any medication. Etta is blind, but it has not slowed down her sense of adventure. She loves to explore outside and navigates rooms with ease. Etta will need protection around stairs and should not be left alone outside. She gets eye drops as needed. Etta is good with frequent potty breaks and also uses pee pads. She gets along well with other animals but would also thrive as an only dog. Etta will respectfully give a snap if another dog gets in her face, to ask for some space. She would do best in a home with older children or an adult-only home.
Etta is described as a happy couch potato. She loves her food and cuddling with people but is also ok snuggling up in a dog bed. Etta enjoys being picked up, and flops over for belly rubs every chance she gets. This sweet senior deserves the best life has to offer. Can it please be with you? Apply today!

More about this rescue

We are a small, dedicated group of fosters and volunteers. We strive to improve the lives of senior dogs who find themselves without a family to care for them anymore. We do not have a facility. Our dogs live in our homes as members of our families. We provide care, comfort, companionship and, most of all, unconditional love. We have worked in senior rescue for years, and see the continuing and growing need to get them out of shelters where they are often euthanized because of their age and/or medical reasons, or from owners that find themselves in crisis and no longer able to care for their companions (nursing home, illness, abusive situations, etc).

Senior Dog Haven and Hospice is a registered 501(c)3. All donations to our rescue are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
