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!

Story
MEET CANDY! This petite Shih Tzu is around 8 years old and was surrendered to Philly's animal control shelter due to housing restrictions. Candy quickly came down with an upper respiratory infection at the shelter and urgently needed out so joined City of Elderly Love where she could recover. It took a bit of work to catch her up on vet care but now that she is, she's feeling amazing and ready to head to her forever home! Candy is just as sweet as her namesake and loves to snuggle in fluffy dog beds. She may be 8 years young, but she is always up for an adventure! She and her foster love to explore the city together and she's a regular at our adoption events! Candy adores people and other dogs and isn't afraid to let another dog know they're being rude. Candy is fully house trained and loves going for walks. Her favorite things are car rides, cuddling, and butt scratches. Sometimes you'll look over and see Candy happily entertaining herself with a toy. Since being in foster care with City of Elderly Love, Candy has been spayed, had a mammary mass removed, seen a cardiologist for a full workup including EKG, and received a dental cleaning. Candy has an enlarged heart and a grade 6/6 heart murmur that she takes daily medication for. Thankfully, the meds are very affordable. Her foster likes to think that Candy's heart being large is attributed to how much love she has to give! Candy is the perfect addition this Holiday season. Candy is available for adoption through City of Elderly Love. Interested in adopting her? Visit cityofelderlylove.org to complete an online adoption questionnaire or email us at info@cityofelderlylove.org!

Story
Meet Miles, a 10-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a sprinkle of Maltese magic, and enough personality to keep you entertained for years. This little man is looking for his chill kingdom—a low-key home where fewer furry roommates roam, and his occasional "grumpy pants" moments are respected. If he gives a little growl, don’t worry—that’s just his way of saying, “Not right now, thanks.” Miles doesn’t do pickups unless he requests it; everything’s on his terms, and that’s part of his charm.The ideal sidekick? A sweet, playful female dog who understands and respects boundaries. Miles thrives on routine and is house-trained as long as you keep him on a schedule. He's fully vetted, neutered, vaccinated, and even had a dental—so his pearly whites are just as charming as his personality.Once a severely matted stray, Miles was scooped up by Peyton's Place Animal Rescue, and he’s since revealed his total softie side. He's the king of cuddles—when he’s ready. His favorite snooze spot? Curled up at the foot of your bed, where he can keep watch. Oh, and did we mention his diva streak? Miles demands to be carried up and down stairs, and trust us—he'll unleash his inner rockstar if you don’t oblige.Despite his quirks, Miles is an absolute sweetheart who just wants a cozy home where he can rule in comfort. Can you offer this spunky senior the royal treatment he deserves? Apply now and meet the most lovable diva around!   ##2207857##
