Story
Tiny, Tilted, and Totally Perfect Tinker is a 15-year-old, 15-pound sweetheart with a built-in head tilt that makes her look like she’s always politely listening—even though she’s deaf. She may not hear your voice, but she absolutely feels the love, and she’s all about gentle pets, cozy naps, and being your loyal little sidekick. This lovely senior gal does great with other dogs and cats and would thrive in a peaceful home where she can enjoy her golden years in comfort. If you’ve ever wanted a tiny companion who will happily accept all your affection and give you unconditional love in return, Tinker is your girl. Warning: prolonged exposure to Tinker may result in spontaneous “aww” noises. February 6, 2026, 9:02 am

Story
Meet Coco — A Sweet Little Survivor Ready for Her Forever Lap 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 Landenberg, PA so our volunteers can conduct an in-person home visit. At 8 years old and just 8.5 pounds, Coco is a lovable Shih Tzu mix with a resilient spirit and a heart full of affection. This sweet girl came to us as an owner surrender in rough condition: severely matted and struggling with a painful ruptured eye. Thanks to the care she received, her left eye has been removed, her dental work is complete, and she’s feeling better than ever. Now she’s ready to start her next chapter in a loving forever home. Coco is a cuddly little companion who absolutely adores people and happily settles into your lap whenever given the chance. She’s medium-energy, enjoys playing with toys, and walks nicely on a leash. She’s friendly with dogs and kids and would do well in either a single-dog or multi-dog household. She is nearly housebroken and continues to make great progress; during very cold weather she may use pee pads. Coco sleeps comfortably in a pen in her foster’s room and is kennel trained. She eats both wet and dry food but definitely prefers the softer options. Because of her previous eye issues, Coco receives twice-daily eye drops (cyclosporine and lubricant) to keep her remaining eye healthy. She doesn’t bark much, handles being picked up well, and can manage stairs without difficulty. A fenced yard is not required. She’d be perfectly happy in a home where she can soak up love, chase a toy, and curl up beside her person. Coco’s ideal home is simply one filled with kindness, patience, and plenty of lap time. After everything she’s been through, this sweet girl is ready to give her whole heart to a family who will cherish her forever.

Jeb is being fostered in PA. Meet Jeb! He would love to be your little velcro buddy! Jeb is 6-8 years young and is doing great on his houstraining. He has very few accidents! Jeb loves to be outside, but most of all, he loves toys! He will empty the toy box and have his toys everywhere around him playing with them. He also loves to be right beside his person or persons. He is a charming little guy who is looking for his loving forever home. Is that you? BDRA has voted not to use electrical fencing effective immediately.
