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.

Story
🐾 Bonded 8-Year-Old Chihuahuas Seeking Quiet Home 🐾 Vinny and Penny are an 8-year-old brother and sister pair who have been together their whole lives. They are healthy, crate trained, potty trained, and very low-energy lap dogs who love relaxing with their person, short walks, and sunny spots. They need a calm, predictable adult-only home with no other pets. Their reactivity is fear-based, and they thrive in a quiet environment. Penny warms up fairly quickly; Vinny can be more cautious. This is a heartbreaking decision, but our home with young children and another dog has become unsafe for them. We want them to have the peaceful life they deserve.

Story
Meet Mimi Mimi’s world changed when the person she loved most passed away, and suddenly this 10-year-old Chihuahua mix found herself in a shelter instead of the home she once knew. Weighing about 16 pounds, Mimi is a gentle, sweet soul who is a little confused about how she ended up here. Despite losing her person, Mimi still has so much love left to give. She’s housebroken, well-mannered, and would make a wonderful, easy companion for someone looking for a loyal little friend. What Mimi wants most is simple—a quiet home, a cozy spot to nap, and a kind heart to love again. At 10 years old, Mimi isn’t asking for much… just a soft place to land and a family to spend her golden years with. After losing everything she knew, we’re hoping someone will open their heart and give this sweet girl the second chance she so deserves. March 13, 2026, 9:09 am
