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 Bootsie ! Bootsie is a 9-year-old, 12.5-pound little mixed-breed girl whose biggest priority is simple: her person.  Bootsie is an easygoing, laid-back girl who truly just goes with the flow. She’s happy to be wherever her person is and would love nothing more than to spend her days curled up beside you. She’s a total couch potato, enjoys cuddling, and doesn’t ask for much beyond companionship, love, and a comfortable place to relax. She’s also wonderfully social! Bootsie gets along with dogs, cats, kids, and other animals, and her foster mom says very little bothers her. She’s a quiet girl who rarely barks and is perfectly content to take life at a leisurely pace. Bootsie is still putting the finishing touches on her housebreaking, but she’s very close to having it down. Her foster family takes her outside frequently, and she’s making good progress. She’s mostly good on a leash and can handle a few stairs, but she does have stiffness in her back legs, so a home with minimal stairs would be best for her. Bootsie has also been dealing with allergies, and chicken appears to be a trigger for her, so her foster family is careful to avoid chicken in her food and treats. She’s currently taking medication to help with her back-leg stiffness and receives a probiotic as well. Bootsie doesn’t need a big yard and would be perfectly happy without one. What she really wants is a person who wants a devoted little companion by their side. She’s sweet. She’s chill. She likes everyone. She likes pretty much everything. And most importantly, she wants to be your girl. Could Bootsie be the laid-back little companion you’ve been looking for?

Story
✨Meet Ivory!✨ Ivory is a Maltese who came into us as a surrender from a commercial breeding facility (aka Puppy Mill) in Lancaster County. Ivory had a very difficult life before coming to us, being used as a mill mama her entire life. She is shut down at this time but is slowly starting to give us her trust. We are confident she will make a wonderful family member for a very lucky family, who understands her past and gives her the time she needs to trust them and her new surroundings. Ivory loves other animals, and will thrive in a home with at least one other dog. Adopting a puppy mill survivor is life-changing—for you and them. For these dogs, everything is new and often overwhelming: people, houses, stairs, leashes, food bowls, collars, toys, TVs, ovens, doorways, pavement…the list goes on. They need adopters who can move slowly, be patient, keep expectations reasonable, and provide the understanding and tools they need to grow into happy, confident companions. Patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding are key! We promise there is nothing that compares to gaining the love and trust of a mill mama, but it requires intentional effort and commitment from their new family. With the right guidance, puppy mill survivors can blossom into well-socialized, joyful dog- so our goal is always to ensure every adopter is fully prepared to give them the life and environment they need to truly thrive!

Story
Lady’s a 7yo 10lb Maltese mix. She’s dog selective, cat and kid 13+ friendly. She’s housebroken if kept on a schedule but will wear a diaper and use pee pads and crate trained. She’s good in a secure fenced in yard and/or going for harness leashed walks. She’s agile, smart, likes squeaky toys, people and going for walks but will bark at people, dogs and noises. She is easy startled so best to sleep in a dog bed on the floor so not to accidentally wake her while sleeping. Lady’s foster requires a calm home, where someone is home often, so not to be left for long periods of time, be an only dog, brushed/groomed often to prevent matting along with leadership, consistency, structure and to continue working on training. If your home DOES NOT meet these requirement’s please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone whose home does not meet the needed requirements. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far. Lady as all dogs should have 2 weeks in their new home with just their people who live in the home and to not have people over for at least 2 weeks. Dogs need time to settle in and adjust to their new people and environment first so they can learn to trust them first. Lady takes medication for a seizure disorder and for her eyes. She’s spayed, vaccinated, HW negative and microchipped. Currently in Phila, PA. If your home meets the needed requirements and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org
