Senior Dogs for Adoption in Harrisonburg, VA: 12 Older Dogs Looking for a Home

WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS? Meet 13-year-old Carmello, the pit mix who apparently missed the memo that seniors are supposed to slow down! This handsome gentleman is 13 going on 3! He's playful, energetic, loves his toys, enjoys car rides, and walks like a gentleman on a leash. Basically, he's got his retirement plan all figured out... and it involves FUN! Carmello is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. He LOVES attention and would be thrilled to have a family to spoil him with all the love he deserves! Cats? We're not quite sure how he feels about them, so slow, patient introductions are best.

Meet Mango Grace!
This girl does not her let age stop her! She has lots of spunk and is 11 years young! Mango Grace is playful and even sits for treats. She loves to play fetch, but there is no guarantee that she will bring the ball back lol. She is crate trained, mostly housebroken, smart, and highly entertaining.
She is approximately 45 pounds, spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. She is probably not a good fit for small dogs and no cats. Mango Grace does get along with other dogs, but as always, we require a meet and greet. Please, please adopt this girl and watch her have fun, fun fun til her owner takes her tennis ball away.

Meet Joy! This mellow and beautiful senior lab/ Sharpei mix. She is about 11 years old, spayed, vaccinated, housebroken, crate-trained,and heartworm negative. Joy gets along with most dogs she has met, but as always, we require a meet and greet with other canines in the home. She is not a candidate for a home with cats. She is incredibly sweet and loves to give kisses. She walks beautifully on a leash. She has been in foster care for a very long time searching for a forever home.
*Joy is NOT at the Bedford County Animal Shelter. If you are interested in Joy, please email fobcasfriends@gmail.com.

Heartwarming and touching—senior dog Rico needed something to soften his bones, and sometimes a blanket just doesn’t do it. We are so grateful for the donation of this beautiful lavender fluffy bed today, just in time to share with Rico! Rico came to us with a unpleasant skin infection, lots of hair loss, infected eyes, and infected ears. He’s getting the works as far as medication, but we don’t want to stop there: we want to give him love and attention and anything else he might need to recover and be a glorious pet! He is around 40 pounds, neutered. housetrained, and fine with other dogs and cats. Is he the kind of dog that might fit beautifully in your home as a foster dog while we get his skin straightened out? We hope so! Please let us know if you would like to help us out by taking them in! His mom is having some medical issues and had to give him up so she could treat herself.

Aki is a sweet, easygoing 9-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix who is looking for a quiet home where he can spend his golden years being someone’s devoted companion.Aki is affectionate, loving, and wonderfully low maintenance. He doesn’t need much to be happy — a comfortable place to relax, some attention from his people, and the companionship of someone who enjoys having a loyal friend by their side. He would be especially well suited for an older couple or someone who spends a lot of time at home and is looking for a calm, loving pet.There is one very important thing to know about Aki: he does not like other dogs or cats.

Everyone meet Havanna! She is a senior Pit Bull. She is 10 years old but certainly doesn't act like it! She is full of spunk and personality! Havana would thrive best in a home as the only pet. She appears to do well with children. Havana walks well on leash. We aren't sure if she is crate trained or not. Adoption fee... $175, cash or credit card. If you already have a dog, bring them with you for a 'meet and greet'! Mon.-Sat. 10-4

Some dogs are the life of the party. Sugar would rather be the friend who quietly sits beside you, listens without judgment, and is always there when you need her.

At 9 years old, this beautiful White German Shepherd has blossomed from an incredibly shy girl into a gentle, trusting companion. She's not looking for excitement or the spotlight—she's looking for a peaceful home where she can simply be loved.

Sugar is the kind of dog who brings calm wherever she goes. She would be happiest as a companion to another dog who could use a steady, reassuring friend. If your pup needs a kind soul to share life with, Sugar may be the perfect match.

Meet Happy! Don't let his name fool you—Happy is more of a laid-back, chill kind of guy who is perfectly content taking life at his own pace. Happy is an approximately 8–9-year-old Jindo who has spent his entire life living outside. Because of this, he may need some time and patience as he adjusts to a new way of life. A quiet home with a calm environment may be the best fit for this independent fella. Happy is easy on leash, treat motivated, and enjoys the simple things in life. He isn't looking for a busy household or a lot of chaos—he's looking for a peaceful place to spend his golden years.

My Home to Yours: Featuring Cash!

Cash's family is moving and are not able to take him along. He is a nine-year-old beagle, neutered, and said to be current with his vaccines. Cash is not at the shelter, and we hope he does not need to come join us there, but can find a home with our help, directly from his people.

Here is what his family says: "Cash is a 9-year-old male beagle. He is current on all vaccinations and goes to Rustburg Vetenary Clinic for his routine checkups.

Meet Sosa This handsome 8-year-old gentleman is truly a gentle giant. Sosa has a super sweet and calm demeanor that instantly puts you at ease. Because of his easygoing nature, we think he would likely do well with kids who understand how to respectfully interact with dogs. We're also unsure about cats, and if there are feline friends in the home, very slow and patient introductions will be essential. Sosa is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccines — he's ready to head home with his forever family! If you're looking for a mellow, loving companion with a heart as big as his paws, Sosa just might be your perfect match.
