Story
ABOUT REINA This big, beautiful girl is looking to be your one and only furbaby! Reina is about 3 years old and came to HAP when her owners could no longer care for a pet. When she arrived, she was missing several chunks of fur and had severely irritated skin. We started her on medication and regular baths, to soothe her skin and she has since regrown the majority of her bright, white coat! Reina is not a fan of other dogs, so the shelter environment can be stressful for her at times, with a lot of barking and other dogs nearby. Despite this, once she is outside and away from the loud noises, she is very relaxed and her true personality shines! Reina is very affectionate with people and eager to please. She knows basic commands and appears house-trained too! Reina has LOVED participating in our Doggy Day Out program, here's what our some of her volunteer friends have to say about her: "I took sweet girl Reina out today! Everyone we passed fell in love with her, as she walked down the street with her stuffed unicorn in her mouth. I took her to UD's green, where she met a few people. We went down to the athletic department, where she became a honorary member of UD's athletic training staff. Next, I took her to my new apartment to chill out. She zonked out for about 40 minutes until she was ready to go. I took her to McDonalds for a mcnugget which she LOVED! On her way back, she zonked out again in the back of my car. Whoever adopts this sweet girl is very lucky to have such a great companion in their lives! - Katie "Reina was the perfect pup today! We went for a little stroll through Bellevue state park and finished our morning with a pup cup. She is very gentle on the leash and walks very well. Very rarely does she pull, only did it once when she saw a squirrel. She did not react to bikes, people walking, kids, nothing. She is very sweet and loving. She is also so laidback and relaxed. Reina was great in the car too! Hopped right in and laid in the back seat. She's a sweet girl and I hope someone can give her the calm home environment she deserves! - Lilly **Reina is seeking a home as your only pet. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story
ABOUT NALA Nala is seeking a patient, loving owner! She is a 4-year-old pittie mix who would thrive in a calmer environment. Nala came to HAP when her owners could no longer care for her. During her first couple weeks at the shelter, she was incredibly scared and stressed. Our team would often find her curled up in the corner of her kennel, constantly shaking. Upon increased interactions with her, she would show signs that she wanted to make friends, but wasn't quite sure how to trust yet. While she has improved and is learning to trust humans, she still has moments where she is unsure with new people. Once she is comfortable with you, Nala is a very sweet girl. She loves to curl up in your lap for pets and kisses. She is also very treat motivated and loves any bacon or beef snacks. We think in a quieter environment, with less stress, Nala is likely to become a laid-back couch potato! **Nala is a fearful, timid girl and may react if her boundaries are pushed too much. Due to this, she would do best in a home without children. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match!

Please read the bio in full for answers to your questions. In the event you have a question that is not covered in the bio, please email info@seniordoghaven.org. If interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application which can be found at https://seniordoghaven.org/adoption-process/. Please note that because all our dogs live in foster homes, we are unable to set up meetings with a dog unless we have a completed adoption application on file. Adoptions must be within a reasonable distance from Downingtown, PA for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit. Meet Raven! Raven is a 4-year-old, 55lb., Pitbull who was found on the streets of Philadelphia and brought to a shelter. It was obvious she had had a lot of babies, and it was time for a new beginning.  Raven was spayed and had two large cysts removed from her hip. She has good vision and hearing and is fully potty trained. Raven gets along well with cats and kids of all ages. She is still deciding if she likes other dogs and might prefer to be the only dog in the house. She can also be a little shy around men and would enjoy having a female owner. Raven walks well on a leash, can handle stairs, and sleeps in a dog bed. She loves to cuddle, and is comfortable being picked up. Raven is also fiercely loyal and enjoys being the family protector.   Raven is a happy girl who loves getting attention. She likes to take the time to stop and smell the flowers and would enjoy a yard to run around in. Raven thinks every person she meets is her new best friend and will make you smile every day. She loves toys, treats, and napping on the couch. If you need an amazing dog in your life, please don’t wait another minute. Apply today!

Story
Coco is a little over a year old. She is full of energy. Loves to run, and play. She needs someone who will keep her exercised and busy. She loves pets and snuggles. She is very playful with cats and small children so an introduction period may be necessary. She is fixed, house broken and crate trained but we have not had any professional training. We can provide vet records. I would request a vet reference for any potential adopters.
