General about info for the dogs currently listed in this group:
Permanent, Loving Homes Needed for Senior Rescue Dogs
Over many years, I have monitored and tried to help this particular group of dogs. These dogs have been loved, responsibly vetted, and cared for throughout their lives, though not in an ideal overall situation. They were in a somewhat hoarding situation… not the typical not cared for at all one, but still applies. They were kept clean and fed and I paid for most of their vet care along the way, but their owner would not surrender them until now.
I am finally allowed to find them homes, and cannot provide the level of long-term veterinary care these dogs deserve — including dental work, senior monitoring, and ongoing medical needs, thus, I am seeking permanent, stable homes where their remaining years can be lived with comfort, dignity, and consistency.
Due to this: Adoption fees are all $300, but will be returned once proof of dental is given.
What I am looking for
• A calm, stable home
• Someone experienced with senior dogs
• Financial ability to provide ongoing veterinary and dental care
• A commitment to keep them for life — no rehoming
• Patience, kindness, and realistic expectations
These dogs are older (aged 8 to 12 years old), and while many are still active, affectionate, and content, they will require the kind of care someone prepared for senior dogs can provide.
What I will provide
Full transparency about age, temperament, and medical needs
Important medical history is known I do not have every vaccine record/etc but they are all spayed/ neutered, microchipped, and current on rabies vaccines
Time for proper introductions
Careful, thoughtful placement — this will not be rushed
I am open to placing individual dogs or compatible pairs, and I will work closely with the right people to ensure a good match.
If you are genuinely experienced with senior dogs and are prepared — financially and emotionally— to care for one for the rest of their life, please reach out by private message and tell me about yourself, your home, and your experience.
These dogs deserve peace, safety, and love for the remainder of their lives.
Thank you for reading with compassion.

Meet Humphrey!
Howdy y’all!!! My name is Humphrey. I am from good ole’ Houston, TX.. though I live in the Seattle area now!.. Y’all are so much sweeter to us little ones!!!
About me: I am super snuggly, so my rescue mom calls me “Humphrey the Hugger.” I am about 16 lbs and am ABSOLUTELY the perfect size for snuggling!!! I will push myself very hard against you to be sure we are snuggling ABSOLUTELY perfectly!
I am about 8-10 years old, and about 17 lbs, and due to my age, many people have overlooked me. I have been 2nd choice more times than I can count. I am first choice, until my age comes up. I am sorry, I cannot control this. If I could be younger for you, I ABSOLUTELY would be.
About you: I like to be around my person 27/9… aka ALL OF THE TIME!!! I am ok with you going away for your errands etc (if you must), as long as I understand you will be back… and we will snuggle again soon! Aka… he can have separation anxiety to begin with, but settles quickly if you set a routine. We have TONS of tips.. Like leaving the radio or tv on soft music whilst you are away. He truly just needs to feel safe based on all of the changes he has been through along the way.
I was originally rescued from a high kill shelter many years ago, on my last day (aka I was going to be put to sleep within 30 min). Back then, I was young, but I was male. My female partner got saved. My person saw me and noticed I was left behind, and they grabbed me within that 30 min window before I was to be put to sleep. Fortunately my rescue mom loved me, but she had too many of us. I was cared for, but never had my own mom really.
So, what I know: I need a calm, stable person(s) to be my forever family. I am older and calmer now. So, I will be happy as long as you have lots of snuggles and food…. I like food too.
I also need a dental appointment. The last time I had one is unknown.
Please forever family! Pick me! I promise I will give you lots of love and snuggles!
My rescue offers a 2 week trial. It can be shorter or longer based on your needs. PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE!
I am FULLY vetted: fixed, 3 year rabies, DDAVP, microchip, heartworm tested negative multiple times, including recently, and current on heartworm and flea preventative. My stuff comes with me (crate, bed, toys, hw flea prev for 3-6 months depending on where I am in between vet visits). Still needed: dental, and lepto if you plan on taking me outside in any possible standing water your yard or other places. This wasnt a thing in Houston, but apparently is here.
