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

Meet Dot! Dot is a 14-year-old, 13 lb., Pomeranian who was surrendered when her owner passed away. She was suffering from Lyme disease and an infection from ticks. It was time for a new beginning.

Dot came into rescue and fit right in at her foster home. She was spayed, has some masses removed, and received medications for the Lyme disease and tick infection. Dot is fully potty trained and gets along well with dogs, cats, and kids. She has good hearing but is partially blind. She walks well on a leash, handles stairs, and loves to be picked up and cuddled. Dot’s foster home is very busy and she has no trouble handling the chaos. Dot loves her people, but will bark at strangers. Her ideal home would not have new people coming in all the time. 

If you need a couch cuddle buddy, then Dot is the right dog for you. She insists on belly rubs after breakfast and loves being scratched and loved on. Dot really enjoys walks, car rides, and basking in the sun. She also loves playing with toys. If you need a whole lot of love in a small package, please 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.
