Story
Meet Hilo (Heelo)! 
Age: ~13 years
Weight: ~29 lbs
Breed: Chihuahua / Beagle mix 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 within a reasonable distance from Wilmington, Delaware for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit. Hilo is a lovable senior gentleman looking for a forever home to enjoy his golden years. He is fully housebroken, healthy, and has a wonderful, easygoing personality that makes him a joy to have around. Hilo is a medium-energy pup who absolutely loves his walks — so much so that he does adorable little hops with his front paws when it’s time to go out. He also enjoys car rides, treats, toys, and being close to his people. He’s happy to nap independently but also enjoys attention and companionship. This sweet boy gets along great with dogs, cats, and older children. He barks minimally, walks nicely on a leash, doesn’t mind being handled or picked up, and sleeps comfortably in a dog bed. While he’s not crate trained, he does very well in the home. He can do stairs and is still gaining confidence with them. A fenced yard is not required as long as he gets regular walks. Hilo has had a mass removed and a few dental extractions and is currently on monthly preventatives. He has no ongoing medical or behavioral issues — just a little extra weight he’s happily working off with his newfound love of walks. One of Hilo’s cutest quirks? He recently discovered the toy basket and will bury his entire head inside to pull out every toy, one by one. He’s silly, sweet, and loves being your little shadow. Ideal Home:
A loving home where someone is around often and enjoys having a calm, affectionate companion nearby. Hilo truly thrives with people around and would love a home full of love and routine. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal senior who still has plenty of joy for life, Hilo is ready to meet you!

Story
I have been trying to help this little guy’s reactivity for a while, walks on the beach or lower stress areas seemed to be helping, however I had an injury and couldn’t get out for a while. He likes to cuddle and watch tv, plays fetch with his toys, likes tricks for treats and “find it” games- will walk well on leash when instructed unless too much stimulation. He is not good with strangers or other dogs-especially unknown dogs. I have tried a few online courses that did seem to help, he can be over protective and will alert me to ANYTHING that is going on outside. He is healthy. I need to rehome him due to my other dog and him aren’t getting along, but the older dog is stand-offish, so he might do ok with a dog that is more engaging if you take it slow.

Story
Dog Name: Henry Breed: Chi Mix Sex: Male Age: 9 Years Old Weight: 10 lbs Medical Needs: None Housebroken: No. He’s spent his life inside a kennel so he’s use to going on puppy pads. We’ve had him out of his kennel and he did pee once but we didn’t have a puppy pad on the floor. He didn’t make a noise or whine that he had to go potty. We think this is because he’s been kept in a kennel. Crate trained: Yes. he’s very use to the kennel. He’s most comfortable in the kennel. Good in the car: Yes. We put him in a cat carrier and he was quiet. Good on a leash: Yes and no. He’s good on the leash and doesn’t pull but he also stays put on the leash. Again, he’s not had interaction with a leash. He just lays down in the yard. Energy level: Very low key. He shakes when we bring him out of the kennel and when we hold him. He’ll calm down after 5 mins. .Need a fenced in yard: No. Dog Friendly: Yes, Henry loves our dogs. His tail starts wagging and the sniffing begins. If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No but it might be good if you have one to help bring out Henry’s confidence. Cat Friendly: Yes. Henry sniffs the cats, the cats sniff him. They will lay down next to Henry. He doesn’t go after them. Kid Friendly: Unsure because we don’t have kids. If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Children should be old enough to know boundaries for pets. Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Henry is a sweet, quiet boy who has never been given a chance to be a dog. 9 years of his life contained in a kennel. He would do great with someone that has the patience to get him comfortable, trusting again and loved. He’s given me some kisses since we’ve had him. He’s a gentle old man type of soul. Who knows how long he has left but he deserves a family of his own and to feel safe and loved. He enjoys his showers with me and brushing. He loves treats. He’s just an all around sweet old man. I’ll put him in bed with me with a puppy pad under him and he will shake for a little. I’ll be petting him and talking to him and he calms down. He’ll lay like that for as long as you lay beside him.
