Old Dog Haven home FOUND!!!
PERMANENT ODH HOME FOUND
(in W. Washington or Portland, OR only)
"Sasha" is an amazingly cute wirehaired dachshund mix, super-senior spayed female, who weighs 12 pounds. This girl came to the shelter when her person passed away; neighbors came to the rescue and got her out of the house. Now in a temporary shelter foster home, she gets along with all though particularly likes to snuggle with dad on the couch. She loves to be outside, wandering around the yard, and the former neighbors reported that she likes walks and is lively and friendly. She lived
with another dog before and now is fine with one in the temporary home.
Her bloodwork is pretty good so organs are functioning well, but
her teeth are terrible. It may take some effort to get her potty manners
back (no doubt they weren't sent outside regularly in the recent past)
but look at that face - it will be worth it.
As an Old Dog Haven forever foster, all vet bills are paid by our organization (thanks to donations!). This means you don't have the worry of vet bills. We do have a process to apply to foster for Old Dog Haven, so please read through the information below and contact us.

Old Dog Haven has no facility or shelter, every dog we take into our care goes into a private home-a home that has been thoroughly vetted. There's a process to become a forever foster for us that includes a home visit which is why sending dogs outside of W. Washington or Portland, OR is not possible. We know this is frustrating to some but please remember, we have the dogs' best interest in mind and hope those of you who live outside of our foster area will still share our plea because you may reach someone who can foster for us!
We appreciate that so many of you want to help senior dogs. If you are not in our area, check with your local rescues and shelters about fostering or adopting. There are senior dogs (and dogs of all ages) in need everywhere.
