Senior Dogs for Adoption in Indio, CA: 27 Older Dogs Looking for a Home

Due to housing issues, Calvin was surrendered to the shelter by his owner back on September 12th. The owner was kind enough to leave very helpful information about Calvin that helps us with placement. Calvin is good with all people. He lived with teenagers, small children and babies. He lived with both male and female dogs and cats! Sadly, he mostly lived outside and can be easily scared with loud noises like fireworks and thunder. Calvin seems to walk well on the leash and rides nicely in the car.

Calvin had a tumor like growth on his face that the shelter had removed. They believe it was a lipoma and has recovered nicely. We were able to get Calvin out of the shelter when it was getting close to his time to run out because a foster stepped up for him. He is being fostered with other dogs, so we'll get to know more about him. He just arrived to us on October 22nd, so as we learn more, we'll update his bio.

If you are interested in meeting Calvin, please fill out and application at labradrorsandfriends.org. Calvin is located in Southern California.

His activity requirements are pretty simple: Bentley enjoys a couple of short walks each day, and after that, he is more than happy to settle in on your lap and supervise the rest of the day. Honestly, he has his priorities figured out.

He is the kind of dog who just wants to be near his people, soaking up affection and giving plenty of love right back. If you're looking for a small, sweet, easygoing companion who would rather cuddle than run a marathon, Bentley may be your guy.

Bentley is located in Southern California and is ready to find his forever family.

Bubba was understandably sad when he first arrived in his foster home. For the first couple of days, he kept his distance and walked away when anyone tried to reach for him. His whole world had changed, and he needed time to understand that he was safe.

With patience—and a little reassurance from the other dogs in his foster home—Bubba gradually began to open his heart again. He now recognizes his name, comes when called, and happily accepts head rubs and full-body massages. He may not be a lap dog or traditional cuddler, but he likes to remain close to his person and generously hands out kisses.

The Bubba Schedule

Bubba wakes up around 6 a.m. and heads outside to take care of business. He is fully housetrained and has not had any accidents in his foster home. He generally eats breakfast around 9 a.m. and dinner around 6 p.m.

Bubba is an exceptionally picky eater and will hold out if a meal does not meet his very specific standards. He currently eats We Feed Raw, which has a softer texture than traditional kibble. His adopter should be prepared to continue finding foods that appeal to him and make sure this discerning little gentleman keeps eating consistently.

He enjoys two leisurely walks each day—one around 9 a.m. and another around 8:30 p.m. Bubba walks slowly but steadily, follows his person nicely, and never pulls. He does not have the stamina for long walks or extended activity, but he seems to enjoy getting outside and taking in the neighborhood at his own comfortable pace.

During the day, Bubba rests near his foster while she works. At night, he sleeps soundly in a dog bed or on the carpet beside his foster family’s bed. He has needed a middle-of-the-night potty break only once.

Professionally Relaxed

Bubba spends most of his time resting, lounging, and keeping quiet company with his person. He is not interested in chewing, digging, or creating household drama—and his foster has yet to hear him bark.

He currently lives with two young, small mixed-breed dogs. They occasionally sniff him, but everyone mostly gives one another space. Bubba does not seek out interaction or play with the other dogs, although their presence may have helped him feel more comfortable when he first arrived.

Bubba sometimes chooses to retreat to the backyard while his foster family watches television, possibly because the noise is too loud for him. A calm home where he has quiet, comfortable places to rest would suit him beautifully.

A Home for His Golden Years

Bubba needs an adopter who is prepared to spoil him rotten for however long he has left. He is looking for softness: a cozy bed, gentle walks, good meals, soothing massages, and someone who will treasure every day they share with him.

The Sweetest Kisses

One of Bubba’s most endearing qualities is his love of giving kisses—even if his breath sometimes makes them especially memorable. His foster offers him dental sticks, but true to form, picky Bubba requires a little persuasion. He watches the other dogs enthusiastically devour theirs while his foster repeatedly presents his stick for inspection. Eventually, he decides it meets his standards and joins in.

Bubba has already experienced a profound loss. What he needs now is someone willing to give him the very best chapter of his life: a person with the time, heart, and compassion to love him completely, however

Chewie is a lovable, mellow, and sweet little guy. He is housetrained, happily sleeps in his crate, and is an easygoing companion who would love nothing more than to be part of a family. He enjoys his daily walks and, despite his age, still loves to show off his playful side with some adorable zoomies in the backyard! While Chewie is dog friendly, he prefers to socialize with smaller dogs his size. He also tends to be more cautious with men and will need a slow introduction to men he doesn't know.

Chewie recently underwent extensive dental surgery. Because he had never received previous dental care, he unfortunately lost all of his teeth. But don’t let that worry you—Chewie doesn’t seem to know he’s missing a single tooth! He is happy, comfortable, and enjoys his meals. He will simply need to remain on a soft-food diet.

His bloodwork shows that he is in good health for his age, and he has completed his medical intake. Now all Chewie needs is someone to give him the love, comfort, and happily-ever-after he deserves.

If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle little companion who will be grateful for every bit of love you give him, Chewie may be your perfect match.

If you are interested in meeting Chewie, please first complete an adoption application on our website: www.greatpets.org.

Chewie’s $200 adoption donation includes his veterinary examination, vaccinations, bloodwork, extensive dental surgery, fecal examination, microchip, and flea control.

She has had regular vet check ups and is current on all vaccines! She is starting to lose her eyesight, but she can still see and has no problems finding anything or getting around.

Molly has been with us awhile and we truly hope she will find her people soon! She deserves to be in a home where she can be the center of attention and spoiled with tons of love and attention in her golden years!

Molly is currently being fostered in Menifee, CA, but transport to surrounding states can be arranged for the right home.

If you're interested in meeting her, please visit our website at www.dominoeffectanimalrescue.org to fill out an adoption application!

Barney is a very unique looking dog with his long legs, wire hair, and a mohawk! Even though he is only 20lbs, he tends to hang out with our big dogs since he is so tall! Barney is a Jack Russell Terrier/Poodle and approx 11 years old (he doesn't act like a senior at all). He is in great shape, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

Barney is also housebroken, crate trained and knows basic commands.

If you're interested in adopting Barney, please submit an application on our website at www.dominoeffectanimalrescue.org

Archie gets along with all people, dogs and cats. He even previously lived with toddlers, but we think he deserves to spend his senior years in a bit more quiet environment than with young children.

Archie is approx 15lbs, neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. He has had a vet exam and bloodwork done (all looked great) and he recently had a dental. He doesn't have many teeth left, but he eats kibble just fine.

Archie is quiet, even- tempered, and fine when left alone. He is also housebroken and crate trained (but we never need to crate him).

If you're interested in adopting Archie, please submit an application on our website at www.dominoeffectanimalrescue.org

Kody is also a serious cuddle bug. He loves belly rubs, enjoys being close to his people and is incredibly gentle when taking treats or other things from your hand. He is easygoing about being handled and has shown himself to be a trusting little guy.

Kody appears to have some separation anxiety and may whine when left alone, so he would do best with a patient family who can help him feel secure and comfortable when his people are away. He is also working on his potty habits. Kody understands that outside is the place to go, but he has had some accidents and occasional marking indoors. His foster is currently using a consistent potty schedule and a belly band indoors to help reinforce good habits.

Like many senior pups, Kody may be experiencing some vision loss, but he gets around well and doesn’t let it slow him down. He is not a big fan of the crate and may be happiest in a home where crating is not heavily relied upon.

Kody gets along well with other dogs, although he can occasionally get a little possessive of his person when he’s soaking up attention. He responds to boundaries and settles quickly. It is best to separate Kody during mealtime so he has his food all to himself. Kody tends to be dog selective and would likely do best as the only dog in the home.

Overall, Kody is a sweet, affectionate, social little senior who still has lots of love—and plenty of tail wags—to give. If you’re looking for a cuddly companion who enjoys leisurely walks, belly rubs and being by your side, Kody may be your perfect match.

Kody is neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccinations. His adoption fee is $200.

I'm curious, social, and happiest when I'm getting out of my kennel and enjoying some quality time with my people. Whether we're taking a walk or simply relaxing together, I appreciate having someone by my side.

Now I'm looking for a forever home where I can be part of a family, enjoy my walks, and get all the love and belly rubs I deserve.

I've got plenty of love to give. Could you be the one to give me my forever home?

Potty training is still a work in progress, and Chewy previously did some marking, but he is already showing great improvement with consistency and routine. He may not have any teeth, but that certainly doesn’t slow him down! He happily eats wet food with a little kibble mixed in and keeps up with the household routine just fine.

Sweet, social, energetic, and full of personality, Chewy is a wonderful little companion who has plenty of love and life left to share. If you’re looking for an affectionate best friend who gets along with people and dogs alike, Chewy just might be your guy!

Chewy is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations. His adoption fee is $200.

Give them a soft blanket, a warm lap and their favorite person nearby, and they’ve pretty much hit the jackpot. Their perfect life?A calmer home with people who want two sweet little companions to love on. They’re comfortable around cats and other small, mellow dogs, but rambunctious, high-energy animals aren’t really their scene. They’re more “Netflix and nap” than “let’s party.” They may give unfamiliar animals a few very important Chihuahua announcements , but they’re not biters — just two tiny neighborhood-watch ladies doing their civic duty.They’ve spent most of their lives using pee pads on a balcony, so they’re already familiar with indoor potty pads. Their grooming is easy, they’re in great health, and they’re happy eating their kibble — although they certainly won’t turn down a little chicken, meat, fish, sweet potato or banana. But the best thing about Kendall & Kylie isn’t how easy they are.It’s them.Two little sisters who have had each other for 11½ years. Two tiny bodies that curl up together. Two girls who don’t need much from their next family except a safe place to land, someone to cuddle, and the chance to stay together.They’ve loved each other their whole lives.Now they just need someone to love them both.

If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Pugsy Malone, please submit an application at www.labradorsandfriends.org .

Pugsy Malone is located in Southern California.

He is fully housetrained and walks beautifully on a leash. He is the sweetest dog and we really want to make sure that his next home is going to be his last. He is a few pounds overweight, but has already lost a couple in our care. We had full blood work done on him and he is in picture perfect health. Mickey is a wonderful dog and would make anyone a wonderful companion. If you'd like more information on Mickey, please email greendogfoundation@gmail.com or if you'd like to fill out an application for adoption, go to www.greendogfoundation.org. Mickey's adoption fee is $450 and he is fully vaccinated including rabies, neutered and microchipped.

He's also a smart little guy who already knows the commands sit, lay down, and stay. He is potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and has low-medium exercise needs, making him an excellent match for someone looking for an easygoing companion. While he is currently the only dog in his foster home, he has done well with other dogs he has met. He has had limited exposure to children, but all interactions have been positive. His experience with cats is unknown. Because Ruckus loves his people so much, he does experience some separation anxiety and will bark when left home alone. He has never been destructive, but he would be happiest in a home where someone is around most of the time, such as a retiree, someone who works from home, or a family that can include him in their daily activities. He truly enjoys tagging along and is a wonderful little sidekick. Ruckus has so much love to give and is looking for someone who wants a loyal, devoted best friend. If you're looking for a gentle senior who will happily keep you company wherever life takes you, Ruckus may be the perfect addition to your family!

His adoption fee is $200.

Whether it’s relaxing with the family, going for walks or chasing a favorite rope toy, they simply enjoy being included. They thrive in an environment that provides structure, consistency, and regular interaction. Ellie is often the first one to win people over. She has a gentle, affectionate personality and genuinely enjoys attention and companionship. She loves being close to her people and is eager to be part of whatever is going on around her. Like many dogs, she can occasionally become vocal when reacting to neighboring dogs through a fence, but she settles well when redirected. Thor is a big-hearted dog with an equally big personality. He is incredibly people-oriented and forms strong bonds with his family. He thrives on companionship and loves being involved in family life. Thor can be a bit like a toddler at times—he prefers not to be left out and does best in a home where he receives plenty of attention, activity, and interaction. Because he becomes stressed when separated from his people, he may whine or attempt to reunite with them, so a secure yard and a family committed to providing companionship and structure are important for his success. Both dogs have done well with children and other dogs throughout their lives. They are not a good fit for homes with cats or small animals due to their strong prey drive. Their ideal home would be with an active family or individual who understands the German Shorthaired Pointer breed and can provide regular exercise, companionship, and consistency. In return, Thor and Ellie offer loyalty, affection, entertainment, and the kind of companionship that makes them feel like true members of the family.

Charlie is potty trained, though he does have some age-related urinary leakage that's beyond his control. He's looking for someone who understands that growing older comes with a few quirks and will love him just the same. If you're looking for a sweet, low-maintenance companion who asks for very little besides a comfy place to nap and someone to love, Charlie is your guy. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccinations. His adoption fee is $200.

Teddy is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered.

Pryor is not quite fully-grown at about 32 pounds, making him a perfect medium-sized pup. Pryor currently shares a kennel with two other pups, and loves to play in the play yard with his buddies. True to his breed heritage, Pryor is a smart, active guy and will need a forever family that understands the daily exercise and stimulation that a Cattle Dog needs. He would love a yard, but could do well in an urban environment, as well, as long as he is kept active! Pryor walks well on a leash, and would make an amazing hiking or jogging partner. He seems to get along with every person he meets, and would do well on social outings with his forever family. If you’re looking for a perfectly-sized, happy-go-lucky, active pup, then Pryor could be the guy for you.
