Seniors
Some pets arrive with years of lived experience — soft eyes, steady steps, and a quiet way of connecting. This space honors them. When a senior dog needs visibility, their story will be shared here with care.
NEGRA — Senior (12 years)
About Me
Negra is a gentle, soft‑spoken senior who carries herself with quiet dignity. At 12 years old, she moves through the world with calm curiosity and a tender sweetness that makes her easy to love. She has spent a long time in care, and despite everything, she remains patient, affectionate, and deeply grateful for human attention. Negra would thrive in a peaceful home that honors her age, offers comfort, and gives her the gentle companionship she deserves.

COSMOS — Senior (11 years)
About Me
Cosmos is an 11‑year‑old senior cat currently in foster care through ACC. Her history is unknown, and she is still learning to feel safe in new environments. She may benefit from a patient adopter who can offer a calm, low‑traffic home and allow her to settle at her own pace. Staff notes suggest she prefers slow introductions, predictable routines, and gentle handling. Cosmos may display stress behaviors when approached too quickly, so a supportive, understanding transition will be important.
If you’re looking to welcome a senior cat who may blossom with time, consistency, and compassion, Cosmos is one to learn more about.

SAMMY — Senior (10 years) • Small Breed Companion • Special-Needs
About Me
Sammy is a senior Dachshund with a gentle nature who enjoys being close to his people, taking short walks, relaxing on the sofa, and playing with squeaky toys. He is house-trained with regular potty breaks and does best with a consistent routine.
Sammy has cataracts that cause visual impairment and has undergone eye surgery to repair a lens. He may occasionally bump into things or need gentle guidance to his food and water bowls. A soft cone helps him navigate his surroundings and also gives him some comfortable personal space.
Because Sammy can be easily startled, he is looking for a patient home without young children where his resting space will be respected. He may be comfortable as the only dog or with a small, calm dog who respects his boundaries. A home without shared walls is recommended because Sammy may bark when left alone.
Sammy would be a good companion for someone who understands the needs of a senior dog with limited vision and is comfortable allowing him to seek affection on his own terms.
