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
Rita is a tan Chihuahua rescue who originally came from the Dallas area. She is approximately 10 years old and has a wonderful disposition. Rita is energetic, bubbly, and playful, and she enjoys being around people and receiving attention. Due to a change in my personal circumstances, I am no longer able to give Rita the time and attention she deserves. I am looking for a loving, stable home where she can continue to receive affection, companionship, and proper care. Rita would do best with someone who enjoys an engaging, sweet dog and can provide her with consistent attention and love.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.HEY!! Is anyone looking here?!! If you aren't, then you should be! You are so missing out on learning about me, Daisy!!! Do I have your attention yet? Good, now listen I am a petite little girl with a big personality. I need someone who will treat me like a princess and spoil me like I so deserve! I do not need to share my space with another dog, so please only look if you are looking for an only child.  I would also like to have a fenced in yard for outside time with you! I demand your love, attention and most of all your lap space. I will promise to cover you with kisses and keep you feeling loved all of the time. Now we do need to talk about potty training. I really need this one on one thing so we can get this bathroom thing going in the right direction. Oh and I like riding in the car and leash walking, so I am requesting that rides for pup cups must be a necessity in our relationship. If you think you can handle all of this Daisy love, then go on to www.allmuttsmatter.org and apply for me. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 23, 2025, 2:06 pm

Story
*Currently in a long-term foster home. Inquire to set up a meeting* Rocky is a typical chihuahua; he is spunky, moody, and totally adorable. He weighs in at just 12 lbs. He is not a morning dog and prefers to sleep in. He does not need long walks and is okay just taking a walk around the yard. He is housebroken and will also use pee pads. He has the cutest prance. He gets along with other dogs, but does like to chase cats. November 8, 2025, 1:50 pm

Story
Meet Birdie – Senior Pomeranian, 10 Years Old and Approximately 10lbs 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 Mays Landing, New Jersey for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit. Birdie is a gentle, shy senior Pomeranian who is looking for a calm, patient forever home. She originally came to us from a difficult situation and made wonderful progress in her foster home. Birdie was recently adopted, but due to unexpected changes in her adopter’s life, she has returned to foster care through no fault of her own. Birdie gets along beautifully with both dogs and cats. She relies on the presence of another dog for comfort, so a home with at least one friendly, calm dog is required. She is a quiet, reserved girl who watches everything around her with curiosity, and with time and kindness she continues to build confidence. She is pee pad trained and still working on full housetraining. Birdie is hard of hearing (possibly deaf), but her vision is good, she tolerates grooming well, and she is in overall good health. What is great about Birdie, is she only needed a cleaning at the vet! Birdie would do best in a home that: • Is calm and predictable • Has small-dog or Pomeranian experience • Has at least one other dog to help her feel safe • Can provide patience, gentle guidance, and one-on-one attention • Understands that she needs time to trust new people Birdie doesn’t need much — just a loving adopter who will let her settle in at her own pace and give her the safe, peaceful life she’s always deserved. If you’re ready to give Birdie her true forever home, she is ready to meet you.
