Brodie's Story

Please read the bio in full for answers to common questions. If you have a question not covered here, please email info@seniordoghaven.org. If interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application at https://seniordoghaven.org/adoption-process/. Because all of our dogs live in foster homes, meet-and-greets are scheduled only after a completed application is received. Adoptions must be within a reasonable distance of Mays Landing, NJ so our volunteers can conduct an in-person home visit.<br/><br/><br/>Meet Brodie 🐾<br/><br/>Brodie is an 11–12 year old, 8-lb terrier mix. He is fully housebroken, leash trained, and absolutely loves being with his person. He enjoys walks, cuddling, and spending time close to his human. He sleeps in a dog bed and would do fine in a home without a yard.<br/><br/>That said, Brodie is a behaviorally complex dog and will require an experienced adopter.<br/><br/>He has a history of biting and is not appropriate for homes with children. He can be nippy, especially if:<br/>• He is startled<br/>• He is forced to do something uncomfortable or painful (he has arthritis)<br/>• He is having his eyes handled (dry eye care is part of his routine)<br/>• He feels pressured or overwhelmed<br/><br/>Because of this, nippy dog experience is absolutely required. He needs someone who understands canine body language, respects boundaries, and is committed to management and structure.<br/><br/>Brodie is also sensitive to loud noises and can seem fearful of certain situations. He appears to carry some past stress, but with routine, predictability, and calm handling, he does well. His ideal home is quiet, consistent, and willing to follow clear guidelines.<br/><br/>He is:<br/>• Good with dogs and cats<br/>• Not suitable for children<br/>• A cuddle-loving couch companion<br/>• Sensitive but sweet when he feels safe<br/><br/>Medical notes:<br/>• On dry eye medication, Rimadyl, and Gabapentin (~$50/month)<br/>• Stairs are not recommended<br/><br/>Brodie is not a beginner dog. He is not a casual adoption.<br/>He is looking for the right experienced home that understands that his needs come first.<br/><br/>If you love seasoned, sensitive little dogs and have experience with dogs who need structure and respect, Brodie may be your guy. 🐾
