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!

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.
