Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Coco — A Sweet Little Survivor Ready for Her Forever Lap
Please read the bio in full for answers to common questions. If you have a question not covered here, please email info@seniordoghaven.org. If interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application at https://seniordoghaven.org/adoption-process/. Because all of our dogs live in foster homes, meet-and-greets are scheduled only after a completed application is received. Adoptions must be within a reasonable distance of Landenberg, PA so our volunteers can conduct an in-person home visit.
At 8 years old and just 8.5 pounds, Coco is a lovable Shih Tzu mix with a resilient spirit and a heart full of affection. This sweet girl came to us as an owner surrender in rough condition: severely matted and struggling with a painful ruptured eye. Thanks to the care she received, her left eye has been removed, her dental work is complete, and she’s feeling better than ever. Now she’s ready to start her next chapter in a loving forever home.
Coco is a cuddly little companion who absolutely adores people and happily settles into your lap whenever given the chance. She’s medium-energy, enjoys playing with toys, and walks nicely on a leash. She’s friendly with dogs and kids and would do well in either a single-dog or multi-dog household.
She is nearly housebroken and continues to make great progress; during very cold weather she may use pee pads. Coco sleeps comfortably in a pen in her foster’s room and is kennel trained. She eats both wet and dry food but definitely prefers the softer options.
Because of her previous eye issues, Coco receives twice-daily eye drops (cyclosporine and lubricant) to keep her remaining eye healthy. She doesn’t bark much, handles being picked up well, and can manage stairs without difficulty. A fenced yard is not required. She’d be perfectly happy in a home where she can soak up love, chase a toy, and curl up beside her person.
Coco’s ideal home is simply one filled with kindness, patience, and plenty of lap time. After everything she’s been through, this sweet girl is ready to give her whole heart to a family who will cherish her forever.

The goal of Senior Dog Haven & Hospice is to find the best home possible for our senior dogs. To assist us in this endeavor, SDH&H requires a fully completed application, references, and a visit to your home by one of our trained volunteers. For this reason we only process applications within a reasonable commute from the dog's foster home.
Our adoption fee is $200, however we offer a discounted rate of $150 for senior adopters over the age of 65.

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.
