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 Bubbles Bubbles is a 10-year-old, 11-pound Shih Tzu mix who may be a senior, but she certainly doesn’t act like one! She is very mobile, enjoys her daily walks, and has a medium energy level. Bubbles is fully housebroken, crate trained, walks well on a leash, and can comfortably navigate stairs. She can also be happy in a home without a fenced yard. Bubbles came to the shelter after her elderly owner passed away and her family was unable to care for her. Since arriving in foster care, she has taken some time to settle in and learn that she is safe. She is now showing her sweet side and absolutely loves her people. She enjoys cuddling and being a lap dog—but Bubbles is also very clear about needing her personal space. She does best when affection is offered on her terms and when her boundaries are respected. Her foster family has found that consistent rules, structure, and gentle boundaries help her feel comfortable and successful. Bubbles gets along well with other dogs and cats. She is not recommended for a home with children because she can become nippy when she feels that her personal space is being invaded. Her ideal family will understand canine body language, respect her boundaries, and allow her to have quiet time when she wants it. She is minimally vocal, although she will let you know when someone is at the door! At night, Bubbles sleeps peacefully in her crate beside her foster’s bed. Bubbles has received extensive veterinary care since coming into rescue. She had a dental with five teeth removed, was spayed, and had a small mammary mass removed. The mass was cancerous, but it was completely removed with clear margins. Bubbles is looking for an adult home that will continue providing the structure and boundaries she needs while giving her plenty of love, daily walks, and—perhaps most importantly—respect for her personal space. In return, she will happily be your little walking buddy and cuddle companion.

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 Doug (aka Duke)! Doug is a 7-year-old, 13.5 lb Shih Tzu/Poodle mix who is ready to be your new best friend. He came to us as a stray, and he's been a total sweetheart ever since. Doug is blind, but you'd hardly know it. He mapped his foster home within days and is already picking up his "blind dog" leash commands like a pro. He's medium energy, walks nicely on a leash, barks minimally, and is great with people and other dogs. Doug is a cuddle bug. Since he can't see, he likes to know exactly where his human is, so expect a loyal shadow who follows you from room to room. His favorite things are snuggling, belly rubs, food, and the squeakiest toy in the house, which he loves to roll around with after meals. • Housetraining: Almost there! He tells his foster when he needs to go out during the day and wears a belly band at night. • Health: Neutered, dental done, inguinal hernia repaired, and eye removal (enucleation). He has a Grade II/VI heart murmur, but no meds or special diet are needed. • Home needs: A fenced yard would be great but isn't required. He can handle 1 step or a few stairs, but please carry him on larger flights. • Ideal home: Semi-active, with a human who's around a lot and maybe a doggy friend.

Story

This friend has just arrived because their owner could no longer keep them. While owners can provide some history on their pets, our medical and behavioral teams will still evaluate them. Dogs that have lived in homes previously typically have some training established, but we cannot guarantee that those behaviors will remain consistent in a new home environment. They are pending interactions with other animals at the shelter until they have been cleared by our vet. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and we will update their bio with more information as we learn. 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. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
