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 distance from Bridgeton, NJ for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit.

Meet Garnet! Garnet is an 8-year-old, 10lb, Chihuahua mix who was rescued from an overcrowded home. She had received little attention in her life and was very shut-down.

Garnet was brought into our rescue and given time to decompress. She was then spayed and had 6 teeth removed. New things can make Garnet nervous and cause her to run. Her new home must be very secure and she will need to be leashed when outside (even in a fenced-in yard) until she bonds with her new owner. Garnet is fully potty trained and has good vision and hearing. She sleeps in a crate, can handle stairs, and walks well on a leash. Garnet gets along well with dogs and cats, but because she can startle easily, would prefer an adult-only, or older children home.

Once Garnet trusts you, her true personality will come alive. This amazing girl bonds strongly and follows her foster mom all over the house and she loves to be held and cuddled. Garnet would love if her person was home a lot or if there was another calm, confident dog in the house to keep her company. This silly dog will use her feet to paw for attention and tippy tap around when she’s happy. She performs zoomies in the yard and loves to be outside. Make sure to have a clothing budget though - this little pup loves her outfits!

All Garnet needs is a patient owner who will give her time to feel safe. In return, she will give you unconditional love for the rest of her days. Please apply today!
