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 Landenberg, PA for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit.

Meet Lucas! Lucas is a 10-year-old, 11 lb., Yorkie mix who was brought to a shelter as a stray. He was suffering from an upper respiratory infection and bad teeth and really needed someone to watch over him. Lucas came into rescue and received a neuter, dental, and medication for his infection. Feeling so much better, with far fewer teeth, he loves his mealtimes.

Lucas has the beginning of eye decline but has no trouble finding his way. He has good hearing, walks well on a leash, and gets along well with dogs and kids. Lucas is almost fully potty trained and wears belly bands on occasion. He can handle stairs and enjoys being picked up. Lucas doesn’t like to be crated but is a very good boy when left on his own. He is a talker, and has a lot to say, so a single family home would be ideal for him.

Lucas has a medium energy level and loves his toys. Balls, squeakers, and bones are all a must for this pup. Lucas greatly enjoys going on walks, snuggling with his people, and getting belly rubs. He will also demand some good lap time. Lucas likes to sleep in bed and promises to keep you warm this winter. Can you please find room for him in your home? Apply today!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.
