Please read the bio in full for answers to your questions. In the event you have a question that is not covered in the bio, please email info@seniordoghaven.org. If interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application which can be found at https://seniordoghaven.org/adoption-process/. Please note that because all our dogs live in foster homes, we are unable to set up meetings with a dog unless we have a completed adoption application on file. Adoptions must be about within an hour of Landenberg, PA for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit. Meet Eloise! Eloise is a 12-year-old, 17 lb, Shih Tzu mix who was found as a stray and brought to a shelter. She was suffering from bad skin infections and really needed some tender loving care. Eloise received a dental and lots of medicated baths to heal her skin. She requires a daily thyroid pill which costs around $2.00 a month. Eloise also has allergies which led to her skin problems. To avoid a recurrence, she takes a daily allergy pill which costs $90 a month. She also needs to be on a prescription diet and 25 lbs of food costs $125. Eloise is fully potty trained and can go outside or use pee pads. She has good vision and hearing and walks well on a leash. Eloise is pleasantly plump and likes to keep her stairs to a minimum. She enjoys other dogs and sleeps quietly at the end of her foster mom’s bed. Eloise doesn’t like to be over-handled so an adult-only or a home with older children would be ideal. Eloise still has some pep in her step and really enjoys walks and playing with squeaky toys. She loves to cuddle and get pets and dreams of a home where she gets lots of attention. If you need a spunky girl to brighten your day, please apply today!

Adoptions must be within a reasonable drive from Wayne, PA for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit. Meet Margo! Margo is an 11-year-old, 10 lb, Shih Tzu/Maltese mix who was found as a stray. Being both blind and deaf, she was shaking like a leaf when she was rescued. Margo was so matted and dirty that her eyes were stuck together; so she quickly received a good grooming. The adorable face hidden underneath immediately captured everyone’s hearts. Although she cannot see or hear, Margo is very smart and learns to navigate new surroundings with her foster mom’s help. She is fully potty trained and can also use a pee pad. Margo needs help with stairs and for her safety would prefer a fenced-in yard. Margo can walk on a leash and happily sleeps in a dog bed in a large dog pen. She is good with dogs and kids but older kids are preferred due to her special needs. Margo eats Fresh Pet food and is scheduled for her dental this week. Margo is an amazing pup whose ideal home would have an owner who was home a lot of the time. Although she can be independent, she prefers to stay with her foster mom lounging on the couch, being carried around, or sunning outside. She surprised everyone by showing her love for the water and going for a swim in the pool. Margo deserves everything life has to offer and we hope it can be with you. Please apply today!

Story
Hello, my name is: KobyDOB: 06/12/2020Weight: 14.9 lbsSex/Breed: Neutered male Shih Tzu mixFriends: Adults, large and small dogs, cats, older kidsTraits: Inquisitive, goofy, sometimes cautious, total lap hogRescued From: Owner surrender at ACCT in PhiladelphiaBeing abandoned by his family at a loud, scary shelter was very stressful for poor Koby. We took one look at him and had to give him a safe exit! Koby settles into his foster home more and more each day. He'll need a patient family to help him realize he is in his forever home and has people who won't abandon him. Koby is getting along with all the critters he's shacking up with, giving polite sniffs and tail wags. He prefers his people, however, and will immediately jump in a lap when one pops up. Koby is a snuggle monster, wanting to always be close to you. He is working on his house- and crate-training, and already has pretty good leash skills. His ideal home will be on the quieter side at least initially, so he can settle in and realize he is home. Who will be lucky enough to give this cutie the forever home he so desperately deserves??All our dogs are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.Interested in adopting?

Story
Gem is a 5 year old spayed female shih tzu/bichon mix who weighs 17 pounds. She was rescued along with 4 other dogs in partnership with another organization that got them to safety. These girls are very well rounded dogs who are sweet, adorable, friendly and love other dogs. They have most likely never lived in a home so may need work on potty training, but they are great in their crates and love to be held. Do you have room in your heart and home for this cutie?

Got the dog for my grandsons who no longer live with me. Sick and no longer able to care for him. A very sweet, loving dog and will cuddle up next to you once he gets to know you. This was not an easy decision by any means but he needs someone who can walk him and play.

Meet Hershey! Purebred Shih Tzu. Hershey LOVES everyone he meets and loves kids even more and is partial to men, but still adores all he meets. He turned 1 on May 20, 2024. He gets along well with other dogs. Mostly house trained, but that can change from home to home so be prepared to work on this. He doesn’t chew on anything except his toys, but if you give him a toy with stuffing, he will tear it to pieces. He loves to sleep in the bed, but will sleep on a dog bed too. Lovessss his pup cups.
