Story
ABOUT WYATT Wyatt is a sweet, silly pup with a big personality and plenty of enthusiasm for life! At just over 1-year-old, he’s an energetic guy who can get a little excited when greeting his friends, but he’s learning that keeping all four paws on the floor is the best way to get the attention he’s looking for. With a little consistency, he catches on quickly! Wyatt has done fantastic with other dogs so far and loves having canine friends to zoom around with. And if you’re looking for a dog who will keep you laughing, Wyatt has you covered. He’s quite the drama queen and isn’t above putting on an Oscar-worthy performance over the tiniest inconvenience, especially if it earns him a little extra attention! Beneath all the theatrics is an incredibly sweet pup who is ready to bring plenty of fun, affection, and personality to his future family! Wyatt has also thrived participating in our Doggy Day Out program! Here's what one volunteer had to say about him: "I just spent the morning with Wyatt and he was an absolute gem! He's was very curious throughout our walk around Alapocas and sniffed high and low. We worked on learning sit for a little bit while resting on the benches." - Lydia 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.

Story
ABOUT PIPPA Pippa is an energetic, affectionate girl with plenty of personality and a whole lot of love to give! She came to HAP from a high-intake shelter in Louisiana when they no longer had space for her. Since arriving, she's been eager to make new friends, although she's still figuring out the best way to show just how excited she is to meet them! Pippa is a playful, enegertic pup who absolutely loves attention from people. In fact, she loves people so much that personal space isn't exactly in her vocabulary! She's quick to shower her friends with kisses, bounce around in excitement, and do just about anything to get a little extra affection. Our staff even jokes that she is a parkour master! Once she has a chance to settle down, Pippa has shown us that she can enjoy some quieter moments, happily sitting beside you for pets and attention. While she may have a few manners to work on, underneath all that excitement is a sweet girl who's eager for affection and companionship. She's looking for a family who understands her energy, can provide the structure she needs, and will help her channel all that enthusiasm into being the best girl!

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!

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 Dutchess (aka Dutch)! Dutchess is a sweet, gentle 13-year-old yellow lab. This girl is a total couch potato who just wants a cool, cozy spot to nap and some gentle pets and brushing to go with it. When Dutchess came into rescue, she hadn't been vetted in years and was quietly struggling with arthritis pain — her owners surrendered her, and she's been making up for lost time ever since. Since coming into care, she's had a dental, an ear hematoma repair, and treatment for a UTI, ear infections, and hot spots. She's on a few daily medications to keep her comfortable (Cosequin, gabapentin, Carprovet, and amantadine), all manageable and worth every penny for the peace this old girl deserves. At 78 lbs, Dutchess is fully housebroken, calm, quiet (she doesn't bark), and great on a leash. She's good with other dogs and respectful older kids, but due to her arthritis she does best with gentle, considerate humans — cats are still a question mark. She sleeps in a dog bed, isn't crate trained, and because of her arthritis, she cannot do stairs and is too heavy to be picked up or carried — so her new home should be stair-free with easy, ground-level access to a yard for potty breaks. A fenced yard isn't required, but easy outdoor access is a must. Dutchess isn't looking for excitement — just a soft bed, a cool napping spot, and someone to love on her senior years. Could that be you?

Elliot

Labrador Retriever

Male, Adult
New Castle, DE
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This handsome 2-year-old hound mix is the perfect blend of sweet and soulful, weighing in at about 45 pounds of pure love. Elliot can be a little shy when you first meet him—especially around men, but give him a little time and patience, and you’ll see his true personality shine. Once he trusts you, he’ll be your most loyal best friend, always by your side and ready for love. Elliot’s favorite things? Chasing tennis balls like a pro, playing with his doggie friends, and snuggling up for cozy cuddle sessions. He’s also a smart cookie who is very treat-motivated, which makes training both fun and rewarding. Bonus: he’s already housebroken, so he’s ready to settle right into his forever home! Elliot is looking for a kind, patient family who will help him continue to build confidence and show him just how good life can be. In return, he’ll give you endless love, loyalty, and plenty of tail wags.October 22, 2026, 11:37 am

Story
Meet Dagan Don't let his age fool you...at 11 years young, this dog can out-fetch the young pups! Dagan is a snack connoisseur and he loves toys of all kinds. He takes a minute to warm up to new people but after a snack or two he's ready to go! Dagan would love to retire to a home of free time he needs to blossom! October 22, 2026, 11:37 am
