Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

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 Newark, DE for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit.
Meet Maia! Maia is a 10-year-old, 7.5lb, Chihuahua/Dachshund mix who was found as a stray. Small and alone, this little pup needed a new beginning and was lovingly brought into our rescue.
Maia was spayed and treated for severe dental disease. She has some hearing and vision loss and requires eyedrops that cost $11 a month. Maia gets anxiety when confined in a crate but happily sleeps in a dog bed. She is not a fan of being carried around but loves to follow her people and lay close to them. Maia is fully potty trained and can handle a few stairs. She loves to be outside but doesn’t require a fenced-in yard. She also walks well on a leash. Maia gets along with dogs, cats and children.
Maia is a couch potato who would thrive in a quiet home with other low energy pets. She would be happy just being part of a family. Maia enjoys walks and loves her food. This low-maintenance pup simply needs a soft place to lay her head. Can it please be with you? Apply today!
