OLD DOG HAVEN
" 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.
