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 Kasey! 🐾 At 13 years old and just 9 pounds, this sweet Chihuahua is looking for a quiet, loving home to call her own. Kasey was surrendered by her previous owner and is ready for her next chapter. Kasey loves being near her person and enjoys cuddles on her own terms. She has an independent streak!! She gets along with other dogs, walks nicely on a leash, and has a medium energy level. She enjoys getting outside for walks and running along the fence line, so she’d love a home where she can continue to enjoy her daily outings. Kasey is housebroken when kept on a consistent schedule and sleeps comfortably in her own dog bed. She does bark to let you know she's there (she is a chi!), and stairs aren’t her thing, but she’s easy to pick up and handle. Her experience with children is unknown, though she has a sweet, gentle personality. Kasey has a few special care needs, including a low-protein diet and a Denamarin supplement. She’s looking for someone who will provide the patience, consistency, and love she deserves in her senior years. If you have a quiet home and room in your heart for a gentle senior companion, Kasey would love the chance to meet you!

Story
Meet Chum — 13 pounds of attitude, drama, and… eventually… affection. Are you a patient adult woman with a soft spot for spicy little men? Perfect. Chum is a 4-year-old chihuahua whose hobbies include: strutting proudly on his walkies, judging everyone within a 10-foot radius, and filing formal complaints about any man who dares make eye contact. Chum considers personal space a right, not a privilege. He’ll need someone who lets him settle in at his own pace, preferably while providing him with the fluffiest, most luxurious bed known to mankind (he will absolutely claim it as his throne).
