"!!URGENT!!!"" PERMANENT FOSTER HOMES NEEDED!! "OLD DOG HAVEN" (WEST WA, and Portland OR area)

OLD DOG HAVEN

olddoghaven.org 

Summer is always a hard time to find homes-either adoptive or foster homes. Currently, we have a very long wait list of senior dogs who need our help. These are dogs who are not up for adoption; they are either very old and/or need medical care that Old Dog Haven will cover the cost of for life."  ODH FB  6/26/26

"Our wait list of dogs needing an ODH home is always changing. Not all dogs in need are posted here. We work hard to match dogs to the appropriate...

If you are interested in providing a permanent home for More Dogs on our Wait List please first read about being an ODH Foster home."

(Note: ODH pays for all medical costs for the Permanent Foster Homes.  Must be located in Western WA or Portland, OR area (due to access to the medical facilities they use)

  Some of the dogs on our wait list are listed here:

there are more dogs that need Permanent Foster Homes but are not showing on the list, so inquire!






 

INFO about Old Dog Haven fostering 

Old Dog Haven is a network of loving private homes spread all over Western Washington, Spokane, and Portland. We work with homeless dogs 8 years old and over, prioritizing the oldest and the sickest. Since we do not have a shelter of any kind, we rely heavily on our foster families who provide a loving safe environment until the end of the dog’s life.

Over the years since Old Dog Haven (ODH) was founded in 2004, as more people began adopting senior dogs from shelters, our focus has become only those dogs who, due to age and/or health, will not be adoptable and so are in the most need. ODH no longer takes in dogs for adoption, all ODH dogs are in permanent foster homes for assisted living and/or hospice care.

All ODH dogs have special needs. They may be very old or have serious medical conditions or have significant emotional issues such as severe separation anxiety. Or they might have all of the above. Our dogs are not just companions, caring for them is a big commitment of time and emotional energy, both at home and in the many vet appointments. The foster parent, the veterinarian, and ODH staff work as a team in making decisions about care so good communication is essential.

ODH pays all medical expenses including prescription food, but all other costs of having a dog in their home are paid by the foster family. We require the dog be fed quality food (not raw or grain-free), receive standard senior dog supplements, and be on a flea preventative.

"TANGO" PERMANENT FOSTER HOME NEEDED!!"OLD DOG HAVEN" W WA and Portland, OR

NOTE: LARGE DOG Permanent Foster Homes are especially needed as too many linger for a long time in the shelters or are euthanized there just because they are large senior dogs with some medical needs.

TANGO:  neutered male 68 lb mixed breed

"Tango" is a 68 pound, neutered male. This handsome breed mix is a mystery (shelter staff think perhaps hound is involved?). They say he is
a sweet, chill guy but can be excitable and strong on leash (of course
he IS confined in a scary shelter!). His labwork is OK so organs are working well, but he's lame on the right elbow (presumed arthritis). More concerning, though, is a soft-tissue sarcoma on one thigh. Those tumors usually spread out into surrounding tissue until they impede movement and comfort; there is really no treatment. So this guy is quite healthy right now but won't have many comfortable years ahead.
 
We would love to find him an Old Dog Haven home to enjoy those years. Giving Tango the home he needs at this point in his life will make you feel really good! You won't have the worry of vet bills because Old Dog Haven will take care of that for the rest of Tango's days (thanks to donations!).

Callie, or as she is known in her foster home CallieMagoo, is a fun loving three year old puppy at heart. Callie likes leisurely walks where she can sniff and roll in the grass. She enjoys brain games and working for her food. What makes her happiest and calm is being with her human. She want to be working for her human, to be active, She is not a couch potato but can cuddle at times. She doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. She loves people but she is high energy. Callie has had intense basic training, and she just finished the secondary training and she continues to improve. She is a very smart girl and she wants to please you. She works with a trainer that will also help her transition to her new home so she can continue being the best girl for you.. A home in which a continuing education is provided is on her requirement list. CallieMagoo, powered by a squirrel sighting, can jump  four feet in the air. A fully fenced yard with tall fencing is also on her list. Probably a single dog home too as she will share the attention but prefers to be the only one. She is ok with other big dogs but has a bit of a prey drive towards cats and possibly small dogs (cat size) depending on the dog. She is potty trained, crate trained, spayed, chipped and up to date on vaccines and flea treatment. Do you have the time to give Callie the best life ever? She will reward you with kisses. She is very loyal. She knows: Kennel, Sit, Leave it, Heal, Place, free and down. Loves to play fetch tho doesn't always give back the item so have more then one ready. She must have a securely fenced yard so NO Apartments! To meet her fill out the Dog Adoption Application on OFOSA.ORG and her foster mom will be in touch with you.
