#adopt a senior dog
Pensacola, Florida: The local shelter is still facing the dilemma of being way beyond capacity. They have a critical need for space. To alleviate their need, we would love to help these beautiful old timers out, but we need Fospice fosters to help.
Can you help us help these silver faced pooches? These beautiful pooches deserve to have a loving home in their final days.
If you are in the Pensacola, Florida area and want to help a snowy-faced senior, email [email protected] and ask for a Fospice foster application!
Stamford, Connecticut: This will be your morning view, if Bella Sr goes home with you ❤️.
Don’t let her serious face fool you! When she’s not smiling and wagging her tail she looks displeased, but just show her a treat and her eyes will light up! Bella Sr loves going on walkies, she gets so waggy when she sees her leash, and those wags double when she sees her volunteer friends.
She loves to hang out in the park, letting the sun warm her as you pet her. She takes life at a mild but grateful pace.
This older lady is a local owner surrender who came in a few months ago, but poor Bella Sr has not had a single application come in. Her shelter friends think she is about 7-9 years old, 50lbs, healthy, active, and a total cuddle bug.
Bella Sr would prefer a home with no other dogs or maybe a very mellow dog, she has been playful with cats, and she will be good with children who respect her when she is sleeping/relaxing.

Southern California: Senior dogs make perfect companions - they are generally easy going, easy to please, and so appreciative of the little things.
Many senior rescue dogs have been through a lot in their years, and they are just looking for a little human affection and a few belly rubs.
Check out seniors Berlin, Brutus, Fanny, and Luna Lady. These expert nap takers with their frosty, sugar kissed faces are waiting for you! You can read more about them at www.labsandmore.org.
Los Angeles, California: Somewhere along the line, I lost my owner and then I lost my way.
My name is Azabache, which in Spanish means black amber or jet. I like this name, but I don’t like feeling so unhappy here. I’ve been stressed and unsettled since I arrived at South LA Shelter on June 26th. Anxiety has made me feel older than my eight years.
I’m a neutered, 82 pound, easy-going, jet black with some salt and pepper shaken in dog. I just need some affection and a peaceful place to call my own. I don’t like to cry and whine for attention from the staff and volunteers, but I don’t know how else to express how upset I feel.
The noisy, barking-dog shelter is no place for me. I guess you could say I’m more of a James Taylor than a Steven Tyler - and the shelter is pretty much Tyler all the time. So, if you’re looking for a gentle, affection-loving, older dog who’s good on the leash, please call for me ASAP. I’d be so grateful to go home with you.
And, “Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall,…All you’ll have to do is call…and I’ll come running… With Azabache, you’ve got a friend.”
☎️Call 888-452-7381 with Azabache’s ID # A1985401 to make an appointment to meet him!
All LAAS animals come spayed/neutered, microchipped and current on all their shots (including rabies).
*Azabache is currently at South LA/Chesterfield Sq. Animal Services Center – 1850 W. 60th St. Los Angeles, CA 90047
Oakland, California: Meet Pikachu! She’s a gentle lady who would make a great companion for walks around the neighborhood. But she’s more than just arm candy; this wonderful 8-year-old adores people and would love to hang out with her loving family.
Pikachu has done well in playgroups at the shelter with other gentle/dainty dogs, and will do best as an only dog or with another mellow dog. No high energy adolescent pups for this regal senior girl!
Please consider adopting a senior dog! Pikachu has so much love to give and just asks for a comfortable loving home in return. To adopt Pikachu, visit https://www.oaklandanimalservices.org/adopt/how-to-adopt/#dog!
