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 distance from Wilmington, DE for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit.
Meet Hammy! Hammy is a 10-year-old, 41 lb., mixed breed pup who was rescued from a shelter. She looked so sad in her cage, and there was no way Senior Dog Rescue could leave her behind.
Hammy was brought into her foster home and it was quickly noticed that she walked with a limp. Our vet diagnosed her with arthritis, and she now takes a twice daily anti-inflammatory to help with pain. The cost of this is $50 a month. Hammy’s ideal home will have minimal stairs and preferably carpet, as hardwood floors can be challenging for her. Our vet also noticed that Hammy had a low-grade mast cell tumor. Fortunately, they were able to remove it all and Hammy is now cancer free. It’s unlikely to spread to anywhere else in her body, but the site of the tumor will need to be monitored to make sure it doesn’t reoccur. She also received a dental. Hammy is fully potty trained and has good vision and hearing. She gets along great with dogs, cats, and kids of all ages. Due to her arthritis though, a home where children understand how to be gentle would be best.
Hammy is a super sweet couch potato who loves snuggling in piles of pillows next to her people. She walks well on a leash and loves taking short walks. Hammy has the cutest mini zoomies and loves getting petted. She really enjoys head kisses, pup cones, and couch cuddles. If you need a best friend to relax with, Hammy is your girl. Please apply today!

The goal of Senior Dog Haven & Hospice is to find the best home possible for our senior dogs. To assist us in this endeavor, SDH&H requires a fully completed application, references, and a visit to your home by one of our trained volunteers. For this reason we only process applications within a reasonable commute from the dog's foster home.
Our adoption fee is $200, however we offer a discounted rate of $150 for senior adopters over the age of 65.

More about this rescue
We are a small, dedicated group of fosters and volunteers. We strive to improve the lives of senior dogs who find themselves without a family to care for them anymore. We do not have a facility. Our dogs live in our homes as members of our families. We provide care, comfort, companionship and, most of all, unconditional love. We have worked in senior rescue for years, and see the continuing and growing need to get them out of shelters where they are often euthanized because of their age and/or medical reasons, or from owners that find themselves in crisis and no longer able to care for their companions (nursing home, illness, abusive situations, etc).
Senior Dog Haven and Hospice is a registered 501(c)3. All donations to our rescue are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
