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 Jake! 🐾 This sweet Collie boy is almost 11 years young and looking for a family who will love him for exactly who he is — a devoted, ball-obsessed companion who just wants to be near his people. Jake came to us as an owner surrender. He was well cared for, but his person wasn't able to give him the interaction and playtime he craves, so he arrived a little needy and anxious. He settled in within a couple of days, and once he did, his true personality came out: a medium-energy guy who barks minimally, loves other dogs, and is an absolute joy to play fetch with. Throw him a ball and he'll bring it right back, over and over — he's also a big fan of his stuffie toys and would love a canine playmate to wrestle with in his new home. Jake is good with dogs and kids of any age, enjoys car rides, walks, and snacks, and doesn't mind being picked up or handled. He's mostly good on a leash and can still do stairs just fine, though his ideal family will be prepared to help him with those as he continues to age. He sleeps in a dog bed but likes to have free access between the living room and bedroom overnight — he'll paw and whine at a closed door, so he does best with open access to his people at night. He's had some anxiety, especially at night and reportedly during storms. He does have trazodone available as needed, which is budget-friendly at about $5 for 30 pills through Chewy. He's not crate trained and would need a securely fenced yard — no yard is a dealbreaker for this guy. Jake's ideal home: a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood, a doggy sibling to play with, owners who are home often, and a family committed to helping him through his senior years, including lifting him if stairs ever become too much. He's still working on being fully housebroken (was pad-trained, now transitioning outside) and has had some vetting done already, including a dental and mass removals from his neck and knees. This gentle senior boy has so much love and playfulness left to give — he just needs someone to give it to. 🎾💛

Poppy is the kind of girl who catches your eye and then wins you over with her personality. At just 1½ years old, this gorgeous tri-color Collie mix is still young, curious, and ready to discover everything life has to offer.Poppy is friendly, smart, and playful with a nice medium energy level. She isn`t looking for a family that wants a couch potato—she`d much rather have someone who enjoys getting out and about with their dog. Daily walks, playtime, exploring, and continuing her training will keep this clever girl happy and fulfilled.We can picture Poppy thriving with an active family who will give her plenty of things to do and include her in their adventures. She may also enjoy having a canine sidekick, particularly another dog around her size, with a proper introduction.Poppy is recommended for older teens who will appreciate her playful personality and respect her space. She has so much potential to become that fun, loyal dog who is always ready to go when you say, “Let`s go!”Beautiful, bright, and just waiting for someone to see what a special girl she can be—Poppy is ready to turn the page and start the best chapter of her life.

Story
Kaia just turned one in March 2026. She's very active and needs a home with someone who can give her all of the attention. She is house trained and stays in our yard without us outside. We are a very busy family that cannot pay enough attention to her. She's super loving and loves cuddles. She's a big love bug who thinks she is a lap dog.

Story
This sweetheart is Synamon! Sadly she was abandoned by her previous owner, so she is understandably nervous and confused. She has a kind soul and it will just take patience for her to feel happy and at home again. She has lived with another dog before and may enjoy doing so again. We are not sure how she feels about cats but she is willing to try with proper introduction. She is also open to possibly living with children 8 and oldere as long as they aren`t too boisterous, as she scares easily in this vulnerable time. Synamon did not deserve to be deserted as so many pets sadly find themselves. She is hoping to find her furever family who will love her the same way she does; unconditionally.---If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history. We are open daily 12-6pm.---The Pennsylvania SPCA - Lancaster Center848 S. Prince St. Lancaster PA 17603Kennel #16516717-917-6979lancaster@pspca.org

Story
ABOUT DANTE Meet Dante, our resident ‘Scrappy-Doo’! This is a little man with a BIG personality! Dante is a 4-year-old terrier mix that started out as a scruffy stray in the streets of Louisiana, until he was rescued by our shelter partners and transported here to us. While he has adjusted here at the shelter, he can still be fearful when meeting new people. To help ease his initial worries, slow introductions to people or dogs are important for Dante. When you first meet him, you’ll hear that signature terrier bark, but once he’s comfortable with you, you’ll see the cuddly, playful, happy little guy he really is! Since arriving here, Dante has become a staff-favorite for his smart, quirky personality and playful attitude! Dante loves a good game of tug of war, rolling in the grass, tossing up his stuffed animals, playtime with a canine companion, and 1-on-1 attention from our team. He keeps his kennel very tidy, and appears house trained already! He loves his walk times, and will sit very nicely if asked. Of course, he will be expecting a treat for his hard work. He would thrive in a home with older kids or adults who can understand when he needs to take things slow. Dante has been introduced to cats, to which he was uninterested, so he may do well with a kitty friend at home too! 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
ABOUT BABY GIRL Baby Girl is a happy-go-lucky 2-year-old Border Collie mix with a big personality and an even bigger love for life! This goofy girl came to HAP from a high-intake shelter in Louisiana when they ran out of space to care for her. Despite all the changes she's experienced, Baby Girl hasn't let anything dampen her spirits. She's full of energy, always ready for an adventure, and just happy to make new friends! Social as can be, Baby Girl loves people and other dogs alike! She's an affectionate, playful pup who enjoys running around the field, chasing tennis balls, and soaking up attention from her human friends. Sometimes her excitement gets the best of her, and she may jump up to greet you, but she's just eager to say hello! Baby Girl has also done well making canine friends during her time with us. She can come on a little strong when meeting other dogs, as her enthusiasm sometimes gets ahead of her manners, but she responds well when her friends let her know she needs to dial it back. We think she'd do best with a playful, energetic canine companion who can match her enthusiasm and enjoy plenty of fun together! With her outgoing personality and endless enthusiasm, Baby Girl is ready to bring plenty of love, laughter, and a little bit of silliness to her future family!
