Story

This friend has just arrived to us on transport from a high-intake shelter partner! When our friends are new to us, we are often unsure of their full background. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and update their bio with more information as we learn. They are pending interactions with animals until they have been cleared by our vet. Please note that we often are unsure of house, crate, car, and leash training status upon arrival. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story

I adopted Popkorn from a dog rescue shelter in West Chester in Oct 2024. He is currently 6 years old. He is cuddly and energetic. He's brought so much love and fun to my life for the past 2 years. Unfortunately, I will need to relocate in Oct this year, and due to the nature of my job, I won't be able to spend as much time with him as it used to be. It is a very hard decision for me. I'm hoping to find someone who can spend time with him and take good care of him.

She loves to be close—whether that’s curling up next to you on the couch or relaxing nearby where she feels safe and secure.She thrives in a calm, predictable environment and would do best with an owner who appreciates the unique personality that comes with small breeds. Bella is crate-trained and does well with structure and routine.Like many little dogs, Bella can be a bit protective of her space and belongings, so she would do best in a home with:* An experienced dog owner* No young children* A quieter household where she can settle in comfortablyBella has so much love to give and forms a close connection with her person. Once she feels secure, she is a loyal and affectionate companion who just wants to be near you.This decision is being made out of love, with the goal of finding Bella a home that better fits her needs and allows her to truly thrive.

Story

Dog Name: Coffee Breed: Chihuahua Mix Sex: spayed female Age: 3 years in February 2026 Weight: 12.5 pounds Medical Needs: Coffee takes 10mg of Clomipramine twice daily. This is a behavioral med and has helped her compulsive digging/guarding behaviors. Housebroken: yes, she's not had a single accident in my home so far. Crate trained: sort of, when I take her to work with me and there's people around her she stays in her kennel just fine. At home she is not a fan. Good in the car: yes. She is a very well behaved passenger and sits still and quietly in the backseat Good on a leash: Coffee LOVES to go on walks but can pull and get AGGRESSIVE if she sees other dogs or a feline. She is not a friend to any stranger, 2 nor 4 legged. Energy level: high. Coffee can be hyper when she's excited. This includes jumping and nipping at your hands. Coffee also loves it when it's time to settle down and will snuggle in your lap. Need a fenced in yard: not necessarily, but she would really enjoy having the space to run free and DIG! Adopters need to be willing to crate train or at least limit her to one room of the house when not home if they don't have a yard as she may dash out when you arrive home. Dog Friendly: yes, with VERY slow introductions. She doesn't like unfamiliar dogs but loves the 2 dogs she lives with in her current foster home. If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? Not necessarily but would enjoy a small dog friend. Cat Friendly? She has only met stray felines in the neighborhood and she's not a fan of them. She will try and go after them. Not a friend to felines. Kid Friendly: not tested, but I don't recommend her being in a home with small children due to her size, mouthy behaviors, and it takes her a while to warm up to people. If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? I would recommend 13+ Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Coffee is an extremely sweet girl once she gets to know you. When she first arrived in my care, she did not like me at all. She showed some cage aggression and fearful reactions until she learned I am a safe person. On day 3 she jumped up on my bed on her own and slowly approached, gave my face a lick, and she's been wonderful TO ME ever since. You are either a threat or someone who has won coffee over and is now her best friend whose face she must smooch. There is no in between. Coffee is very barrier aggressive still and will bite new people. With how long it takes for coffee to adjust to new people, a quiet home with very few guests is ideal. Adopters must be aware of her fears and behaviors with new people and be willing to give her time and space to get comfortable and build confidence in her new home.

Story

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 Wilmington, DE so our volunteers can conduct an in-person home visit. Meet Hilo (HE-low) Hilo is a 13-year-old, 27-lb Chihuahua/Beagle mix looking for a calm home to spend his golden years. Don’t let his age fool you — this little guy still loves life, especially walks, toys, treats, and car rides. Hilo is fully housebroken, walks nicely on leash, and is a classic couch-potato companion who enjoys relaxing nearby. He likes to stay close to his person and will happily follow you from room to room like a loyal shadow, but he’s not overly clingy and prefers lounging beside you rather than being a lap dog. One of Hilo’s cutest habits is getting excited for walks — he’ll actually try to grab his jacket out of your hand because he can’t wait to go outside. He does well with other dogs, has minimal barking, and would do best with older kids due to his age. Hilo would thrive in a home with someone who is retired or works from home, where he can enjoy companionship, daily walks, and plenty of cozy nap spots. Hilo came to rescue as an owner surrender and was a bit overweight at intake, but he’s been doing great in foster care. As a precaution, he eats kidney-support food and takes a few routine supplements to keep him feeling his best. (Nexguard Plus | 3 month supply: $123.79, Wellactin supplement | 120 capsules: $24.99) His favorite things include toys, food, treats, walks, and car rides. Loud noises and storms aren’t his favorite, but a warm spot near the fireplace and a comfy bed make everything better. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who just wants to be near his people, Hilo may be the perfect match.
