Arnie is in good health; a sweet loves-to-be-cuddled LAP dog. He is 8 or 9 years old, 11 lbs and in good health.He is NOT fully housebroken, so belly bands work wonders! Great with ALL people, ALL ages, and female dogs ONLY! No male dogs, or kitties please!

Story
Who's gray and white and ready to snuggle with her people all day? I'll give you a hint ... it's me! My name is Chloe, and I'm looking for a furever home that has a lifetime supply of belly rubs, sunny patches for naps, and fancy dog treats.Aside from being adorable, I am also deaf, so I'm most comfortable when people approach me from the front so I can see them coming. Like anyone else, I'm not a big fan of having anybody sneak up behind me! I LOVE to be with people and will happily spend the day by your side (especially if you're good at giving belly rubs). I don't mind other dogs, but I would also be fine as an only pup getting your love all to myself. I will need eye ointment twice a day, but I really enjoy having it applied! I do well on a leash for walks, but prefer not to be in a crate -- I'll wait for you to come home from any outing by napping on the couch instead. Toys aren't really my thing, but I will NEVER say no to a good treat! So, if you find yourself with extra love to give, you should come and take me home. I'll take all the love you've got!If you'd like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website - https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application - and choose me, Chloe! My adoption fee is $150 and AARF wants me to tell you that their adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like me for our forever homes. By the time you meet us, we've already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. We've been checked by a veterinarian, and we're up to date on age-appropriate immunizations against rabies and DHLPP (distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus). We've been tested for heartworm and other tick borne diseases (4DX), and we've started our heartworm and flea preventive medications. Some of us have had extensive surgeries, dental work, or other necessary procedures. AARF is committed to getting all of us entirely ready for a happy, healthy, love-filled life!

Hi - My name is Rema and I am a new member of the AARF family. I am a Shih Tzu Mix, but because I am brand new to these parts, there's not much more known about me or my personality just yet. If you check back a little later, I'm sure my foster parents will have a lot more information to post about me. If you have any questions, though, feel free to send an email to info@animalalliesrescue.org. or if you just think it's love at first sight, please fill out an adoption application at this site - http://www.animalalliesrescue.org and choose me Rema!My adoption fee is $150.00.

Story
Animal Care & Control is looking for a rescue group to assist in placing Muppet in a foster home, prior to adoption, in an effort to best set him up for success. The shelter is a tough place for dogs right now because it is full and there are a limited number of volunteers to get them out each day. Muppet and many others could really use your help!November 1, 2024, 3:04 pm

Story
Need to rehome this sweetheart. I inherited this cute little girl a few months ago, she was abandoned at a friends house, I took her instead of sending to shelter. Cleaned her up, trimmed her horrible knots out, can now see her sweet eyes. Her name is Loca, She is totally adorable, BUT needs someone who works part time, or is home more often than I am. So I am looking for her new forever home 🩷 she is a shitzhu, about 5 years old, she did not get along with other dogs until I took her in, she and Coco are becoming pals. She is housebroken and listens very well. I have been working on socialization as best I can. She was timid and quiet at first now have her playing with balls, and running around with me. She has become a snuggler too 🙂

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 Wilmington, DE for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit. Meet Dutch! Dutch is a 10-year-old, 17 lb., Shih Tzu who was found as a stray and brought to a shelter. Super cute, and super scared, this pup needed some help. Dutch was treated for pneumonia and received a dental. He has good vision and hearing and is fully housebroken. Dutch can handle a few stairs and walks well on a leash. He is content being in a small penned area and sleeps in a doggy bed. Dutch is good on a leash and enjoys being outside. Dutch needs a patient family that is willing to work with him to gain trust. He would prefer an adult-only home but he gets along well with other dogs. Dutch craves affection but needs a slow approach until he feels comfortable. Once he is comfortable, he wants lots of pets, kisses, and scratches. Dutch doesn’t like being picked up or sitting in laps right now, but rather enjoys sitting near his people.   Dutch is very food motivated and tippy taps with joy when it’s mealtime. He likes hanging out with other dogs and basking in warm sunshine. Dutch gets excited to see his favorite people and has even been known to “dance” in the kitchen. If you have a big heart and a bit of patience, please open up your home to Dutch. Apply today!
