🐾 Senior Dogs Need Love Too! 🐾
Every dog deserves a loving home, especially those in their golden years. Senior dogs have so much love to give, and they’re patiently waiting for their chance to spend their days with someone who cherishes them. Many of these incredible seniors have faced hardships—some have lost their families, others have endured neglect—but they’re still full of love and ready to give you their all. By adopting a senior dog, you’re not just gaining a new best friend; you’re giving them the second chance they truly deserve. Meet some of our senior dogs available at Paws Across Pittsburgh all looking for their forever
Meet Boyd!
Boyd is a resilient 9-year-old Chihuahua with a big heart and a love for snuggles. He’s playful but laid-back, happiest cuddled under a blanket or strolling by your side on a leash. Housetrained with a regular schedule, Boyd is also content when left alone.He gets along with respectful dogs but isn’t a fan of cats. Boyd loves his walks, his toys, and, of course, his food! This loyal and s***ky little guy is ready for a forever home where he can be cherished.
Meet Buttons:
Buttons is a senior chihuahua mix of 6lb who is looking for a quiet, cozy spot to spend his retirement. He coexists fine with other animals that respect his space. It is important that Buttons' new home be patient with him, as he is a very shy boy. We recommend building trust with him through soft treats, as he is very fond of food but doesn’t have any teeth so needs a soft diet. His favorite time of the day is mealtime, when he will excitedly trot his little body into the kitchen during mealtime. Can you provide the quiet, cozy home that this senior boy needs?
Meet Molly:
Molly is a sweet 13-year-old Lhasa Apso weighing 17 pounds, searching for a calm and loving home where she can feel safe and cherished. This gentle senior girl enjoys lounging next to you on the couch and being close, though she’s not a lap dog. Molly is quiet and only barks when someone comes to the door or spots something outside. Molly gets along well with cats and may do fine with another laid-back dog after a proper meet-and-greet. She’s not interested in toys but loves a peaceful environment where she can relax. Partially deaf and with limited vision, Molly can startle easily, so she’ll need a patient and understanding family who can help her feel secure and comfortable. Molly is crate-trained and mostly house-trained but may occasionally use puppy pads if unattended. Molly deserves a quiet, stable home where she can enjoy her golden years with someone special. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this sweet senior, Molly will reward you with her loyal companionship. Could you be the loving family Molly has been waiting for? 🐾💖
Meet Papi:
Papi is a senior chihuahua mix who is a perfect blend of sweetness and s***k! This 8lb boy will be your best snuggle buddy and keep you laughing as he plays with his toys. Papi doesn't have interest in playing with other dogs but will coexist fine with them (there are 3 other dogs in his foster home). He would do best in a home where he can be snuggled and live the lap dog life he craves.
Meet Stella:
Meet Stella, a sweet and energetic 11-year-old Australian Shepherd who’s looking for an active family to call her own! With a love for the great outdoors, Stella enjoys long walks, hikes, and swimming on sunny days. She’s a loyal companion who loves following her people everywhere, and when it’s time to relax, she’s the first to snuggle up on the sofa for cozy downtime. A big yard to run and play in would be a dream come true for her, and she’s ready to bring her energy and affection into a loving home! Stella does tend to bark and jump when she sees strangers, so she just needs a little help with training to adjust these behaviors.
Meet Taffy:
Taffy is a 12-year-old, 13-pound Dachshund with a heart full of love and a personality that will steal your heart. Don’t let her age fool you—this s***ky senior still has plenty of charm and energy to share! She’s incredibly friendly and loves spending time with her favorite humans. While she’s still working on potty training, she’s making great progress and eager to learn with a patient and loving family. This little diva prefers to be the center of attention and while she tolerates other dogs to some extent, she prefers to be the only dog in the home. For her comfort, a home without young children would be ideal. If you’re looking for a sweet senior with a big personality and lots of love to give, Taffy could be the perfect addition to your family.
