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.
