Senior Dogs for Adoption in San Bernardino, CA: 8 Older Dogs Looking for a Home

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.

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.
