Carmela's Story

Meet Carmela! <br/>Breed: Havanese/Chihuahua Mix<br/>Age: Around 10 years old?<br/>Location: Landenberg, Pennsylvania<br/><br/>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/.??<br/><br/>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 Landenberg, Pennsylvania for our volunteers to be able to conduct an in-person home visit.<br/><br/>Sweet little Carmela has been through quite the journey, but her gentle heart and loving spirit shine through every day. <br/><br/>Carmela came to us from a local shelter after being found as a stray. She had a large open mammary mass that needed immediate care. Thankfully, she received the treatment she needed — a mass removal, dental cleaning, and spay — and we’re so happy to share that her mass was benign! She’s now fully recovered and ready to enjoy her golden years in a loving forever home.<br/><br/>This lovely lady is starting to come out of her shell more each day. She enjoys going for walks, exploring the yard, and curling up for snuggles on your lap. She’s also happy to find a cozy bed for some solo nap time — the perfect mix of affectionate and independent! <br/><br/>Carmela is doing well with her potty training and just needs a consistent schedule to stay on track. She eats soft food (she only has a few teeth left, but that doesn’t slow her down one bit!) and has no trouble with stairs. She gets along great with other dogs and would do well in a calm, loving home.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a gentle, easygoing companion who will fill your days with love and quiet joy, Carmela might just be your girl. <br/><br/>Apply to adopt Carmela today and give this sweet senior the forever home she deserves!
