Story
Dog Name: Kester(tan) and Brody(long-haired) Breed: Chihuahua mix Sex: Male Age: K-12 years and B-7 years Weight: K- 3.9 lbs and B- 7.5 lbs. Medical Needs: None at this time. Housebroken: Both boys are potty trained while on a schedule. They would rather poop and pee outside. Throughout the night they will pee on the pee pad once or twice. Crate Trained: both are crate trained but have been left free roam in a room with a baby gate blocking the doorway. Good in the car: Kester does well in the purse with a blanket on the seat. Brody is fine if he is laying on your lap. They just sleep through out the ride and look out the window every now and then. Very easy to have them in the car! Good on a Leash: Brody will walk along side you. He does move slow and likes to sniff. He will go with you only if bonded to you. Otherwise, he will stubbornly stand there. Kester is unsure if he is safe out in the big world. He will walk on a leash but would rather be in your sweatshirt with you. Ha! Energy Level: Both boys are very laid back. These old men like to snooze, eat, step outside (if it's not cold), check on their human and nap some more. Needs a fenced in yard: Yes. They do enjoy being outside to sun bathe. Brody likes to walk around like he has a retired purpose. Dog Friendly: Kester and Brody are dog friendly. They are scared that bigger dogs (or anything bigger) will hurt them. But they certainly like to share body heat and snuggles when napping. Kester has certainly set the role for Brody to protect him. This does need to continue to be corrected. If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? Cat Friendly: Unknown Kid Friendly: Yes If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? 6 and older. Kids need to understand and respect that these Chi's are very tiny. Kester has no teeth and Brody has about 3. They do not have any way to defend themselves between no teeth, very tiny, and just being gentlemen. Special traits that make your foster special or what we need to know about them? Kester is a no teeth having bundle of sweetness. He is silly and happy with life. He still needs to put on some more weight but this should not be a problem since he is food motivated. Chihuahua shakes are real but dont worry as his teeth will never chatter. (Ha!). Blankets, beds, pillows, anything soft is perfect for this old man! He will always be happy and excited to see you! A little dash across the sectional to show of his butt tuckin zoomie is enough to let you know you're loved. Brody is more of the independent old man. He always has his eyes on the room and wants to make sure everyone has peace. But he isnt the best watchman because he falls asleep on the job often. As much as he tries to watch over the room, he just wants a slow moving and quiet atmosphere. Brody will be the first to get up and greet you with his loving eyes just staring up at you. His feathered tail hairs shake all around because his person is here. Together and individually, Kester and Brody, defy all stereotypes for Chihuahuas. These sweet, patient, toothless old men are nothing but the best and simply deserve a quiet home to live.

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
Dog Name: Agnes Crumplebottom Breed: Chi x Sex: Female Age: 14 years Weight: 10 lbs Medical Needs: Agnes has lived a hard life, and her body shows it. She’s not spayed, she only has 4 teeth, and she has mammary tumors. Due to her age and small size, surgery is not recommended as it would be very hard on her little body. Housebroken: Does good on a schedule but you have to watch her when she is free roaming the house. Crate trained: Yes Good in the car: Yes Good on a leash: Yes Energy level: Low Need a fenced in yard: No Dog Friendly: Yes If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No Cat Friendly? Unknown, but honestly a cat is more dangerous to her than she would be to it. Kid Friendly: Yes If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? We would recommend older kids (10 +) as she's not a fan of people who are loud and fast moving. Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Agnes Crumplebottom came from a home where she wasn't treated very kindly. Because of this she's a little nervous with new people and really doesn't like it when someone is being loud or stomping around. Even so, she is so eager to be loved. She's got a lot of spunk for an old lady. She loves playing with small soft toys and will spend a great deal of time gathering them all up and taking them to the bed of her choosing. She's good with other dogs though she does need a warm up period when first meeting new dogs. She will growl if they come in too fast and threaten to got them with her purse (if she had one). Despite her only having 4 teeth, she's not afraid to stand her ground. She doesn't understand how fragile she is, so a home with older/calmer dogs would be best. She's a perfect mix of sweet and sassy.
