Story
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 KOP, PA for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit.
Meet Linus! Linus is a 14-year-old, 7 lb., Yorkie mix who was surrendered to a shelter when his owner could no longer care for him. Alone and toothless, he was in need of a fresh start.
Linus was treated for fleas and had senior bloodwork testing. He has suspected kidney issues, and eats Royal Canin Renal Support food to keep them in check. He requires no medication at the moment, but that could change in the future. Linus has no teeth and a recessed lower jaw, but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying mealtimes. He has good vision but is most likely deaf. Linus can use pee pads, sleeps fine through the night, and does well frequently going outside. Like any senior though, he will have the occasional accident.
Linus is comfortable being crated when his foster mom is out. He will bark for a minute or two, but settles in quickly. Linus can handle a few stairs and walks well on a leash. He gets along great with other dogs and would love to have some low-energy friends to hang out with. Linus also does well with kids. His ideal home would have people around all the time.
Linus loves getting attention. If you need a cuddle buddy, he will be the first in line. Linus really enjoys going on walks, soaking up sunshine, and treats. He wants to be wherever you are, including your bed. Happy to give out kisses and make sure you are never alone, Linus is an amazing pup in need of a home. Can it please be yours? Apply today!
