Story
Meet Tucker! Tucker is a 3 year old Shitzu/Bichon Frise mix who came to us as an owner surrender due to “divorce and a job change”. Pets are family and family is for life! Tucker deserves a family who is truly his forever family to keep him through all the ups and downs of life. We are happy to help him find that ❤️ As with all rescue dogs, he will need a family who is understanding and prepared to work through a period of transition with him as he learns to live in a new house and around new people. He will need time to trust their new family before working on training, such as house training. We require all our animals to be trained using positive reinforcement methods ONLY. If you are interested in being considered for them please apply on our website at www.angelsretreat.org 💕🐾

Story
Carmen is a 10 year old neutered male shih tzu who weighs 11.4 pounds. He was rescued as part of a humane case and felony charges have been filed. They were rescued and on the brink of death, weighing half of their current weight, starved, neglected and forced to live in unlivable conditions. Despite everything, these are some of the happiest dogs that you will ever meet and they hold no grudges. At his foster home, he has been a very good house guest. Carmen goes in the crate on command, seems to be potty trained and loves running around chasing the ball. He has tested well with other dogs, loves to lounge on the couch and he walks very well on the leash. We have promised him that he will never want for anything and will be spoiled rotten.

Story
Ari is being fostered in PA. 5-12-2025 Ari did very well with her dental and lumpectomy. She had 12 teeth removed and her mass was benign. An update on her personality and potty skills: Ari is very predictable with her potty habits and only goes about 3 times a day. She sleeps completely through the night, eats her breakfast and then does her business so she can easily be taken outside to eliminate before her breakfast at lunch and then around her dinner time. If she does get up in the middle of her naps or at night, she will eliminate on a potty pad if it’s placed right by her bed. She adores lying beside her foster mom on the sofa and will nudge her hand for pets. She has yet to make a peep in her foster home. Ari is also has the softest fur ever! Little Ari is guessed to be about 12 years old and appears to be a shih tzu mix. She is a quiet, gentle, passive, loveable girl who loves her meals and can sleep like no other! She gets along well with other dogs, cats, and people of all ages. She simply ignores other dogs and cats in her foster home and needs to be in a home with gentle pets and children because it does not appear like she will defend or stick up for herself. She is just as happy to snuggle up on the sofa as she is to find her bed for the day on the floor. She seems to enjoy sniffing all she can when she’s outside but may not make the best walk buddy, as she’d rather meander and smell things. She rides well in the car and tolerates her foster mom’s kisses very well. Ari is completely blind since she has no eyes and her hearing is poor. Her foster mom keeps a potty pad close to her bed so when she gets up from her nap, she has it to potty on when her mom is working. She will not indicate a need to go out to potty. She will need to be carried outside but does fine exploring once she’s out. She cannot go up or down stairs by herself. She will have a dental and a lumpectomy of a non-cancerous mass on her cheek on May 9th and will be ready to find her forever home shortly after. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
Meet Bauer!   Bauer is a sweet, easygoing guy who’s happiest when he's outside enjoying a walk or watching outside the window. Bauer is an adult dog, around 8 years old. He’s got a calm, laid-back personality and is a big fan of couch naps. He still has a playful side too though. He gets along well with other dogs, but he can be anxious around small children. Bauer would do best in a home with older kids or adults who can give him a calm environment. Click this link to apply: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FHPA/Dog  May 5, 2025, 2:27 pm

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 within a reasonable distance from Middletown, DE for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit. Meet Fluffy – A Resilient Little Senior with So Much Love to Give. Fluffy is a 14-year-old Shih Tzu who lost the only home she’d ever known. When she first came to us, she was heartbroken—shut down and withdrawn. But with patience and love, this little sweetheart has started to come back to life and is now ready for her second chance. Fluffy is housebroken (as long as she’s taken out regularly) and has a few age-related limitations. She has vision in only one eye, limited hearing, and some heart disease. She takes two medications daily (just $40/month), and the good news is—she’s doing great on them! Her favorite things? Sniffing around the yard, enjoying the fresh air, and doing her signature happy spin when it’s time to eat, go outside, or just because she’s feeling joyful! Fluffy is very easygoing and would prefer a home with another calm dog companion. While she’s not a lap dog, she loves to be near you—on the couch, in bed, or just keeping you company. Best of all, she’s wonderful with kids of all ages. Fluffy would be the perfect match for someone who works from home or is retired and wants a quiet, loving buddy by their side. Help us give Fluffy the happy ending she so deserves. Apply to adopt this gentle, joyful little girl today!
