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.

 COURTESY - FOSTER HOME
 
Meet Geranimo! 🐾 Geranimo is a handsome big boy (estimated at around 70-80 lbs) who is ready to find his perfect teammate for life's adventures! While he can be a little bashful and takes a moment to check things out when first meeting new human friends, his fun-loving spirit truly shines through around other canines. He is a massive fan of other dogs, showing off a wonderfully social, playful side in playgroups where he loves to run, play-bow, and initiate fun games of keep-away. Geranimo is a great walking companion who handles the leash beautifully and thrives on predictable, quiet routines. He is looking for a patient, loving home-and perhaps a confident dog sibling to show him the ropes-where he can take his time settling in, shake off his shelter nerves, and become your absolute best friend!

"BABY" **TINY** senior YORKIE...YORKSHIRE TERRIER "SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON "

 

 "BABY"  AVAILABLE for adoption SENIOR DOG RESCUE of OREGON 


BABY  Terrier, Yorkshire, Yorkie  spayed female, 
5 lbs 12 yrs  $200
 
*Good with Cats
*Good with Dogs
*Good with Kids
*Needs assistance climbing stairs and/or getting in/out of vehicles
 
 
Hi there. My name is Baby, and even though I'm 12 years old, I only weigh about 5 pounds. That means I'm the perfect size to curl up beside you, ride along on adventures, or keep your lap nice and warm.

For my whole life, I had one special person. She loved me very much, and I loved her right back. Sadly, she recently had to move into a care home, and I couldn't go with her. For the past few months, I've been staying alone in the house we shared, with kind people stopping by each day to feed me and make sure I'm okay. It's been confusing, and I miss having my person nearby. I may need a little time to trust again, but I promise my heart is still full of love to give.

I'm a gentle, quiet little Yorkie who enjoys the simple things in life. I love going for walks, carrying around my favorite toys, snuggling with my blankie, and soaking up all the scratches and cuddles you'll give me. I've lived happily with dogs, cats, and children, so I'm used to being part of a family. I adapt well wherever I'm loved.

Because I'm such a tiny girl, I appreciate a little boost when it comes to climbing stairs or getting into the car. I also think every car ride would be better if I could sit in the driver's lap—but don't worry, I ride safely in a crate when needed.

I'm healthy, though I do have a flea allergy, so keeping me on flea prevention is important. Other than that, I'm ready to spend my golden years being someone's cherished companion.

If you're looking for a sweet little shadow who will quietly follow you, snuggle beside you on the couch, and remind you every day that love comes in tiny packages, I think we should meet. I don't need much—just a soft place to rest, a few gentle scratches, and someone who will promise that this time, we'll be together forever.
