My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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 within a reasonable commute from the foster home for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit

Meet Buddy! Buddy is a 17lb Havanese mix estimated to be between 8-10 years old. This little guy was brought to the shelter after being found as a stray. He was suffering from a great deal of neglect. Since finding himself in rescue, he has been neutered, had a dental which resulted in the loss of 17 teeth, had bladder stones removed and had to have a hernia repair which took three attempts before finally being fixed.
Despite everything he has been through, this little guy could not possibly be sweeter!! Buddy has the best personality! He is an active little guy. He loves to go on walks and really enjoys zoomies in the yard. Buddy has great vision and hearing and is potty trained. He gets along really well with both large and small dogs. He does however prefer to live with calm female dogs!! Smart guy!
He’s also shared a home with toddlers and older children and was a perfect gentleman with all. Buddy loves to sleep in bed with you and won’t make a single peep through the night. He’s a quiet pup, but will bark and whine for a bit when you first leave the house. This gets better with time once he learns you’ll always come back for him! He is not destructive, and can be trusted with free rein of his environment. Buddy bonds very quickly to his people and just wants to be by your side.

He hopes for a home with people who can be around a lot! Buddy has received a clean bill of health, however because of his hernia repair he will require a life long soft food diet and medication to promote a healthy GI function.
