Senior dogs near Phoenix
Senior dogs for adoption in Phoenix, Arizona
Meet 195 adoptable senior dogs (age 7+) in and around Phoenix. Each one is from a local shelter or rescue and ready to give an older dog's quiet, grateful love.
Senior dogs (age 7 and up) wait far longer for homes than puppies, even though they're usually house-trained, settled in temperament, and happy to nap at your feet. Adopting an older dog in and around Phoenix, Arizona means a grateful companion close to home — and often a shorter drive to meet them in person. The senior dogs listed near Phoenix right now include Chihuahua, American Pit Bull Terrier, and German Shepherd Dog. Always confirm availability and adoption steps directly with the shelter or rescue.
Last updated November 9, 2026 at 1:47 AM EST. Listings refresh throughout the day. Always confirm a dog’s availability with the shelter or rescue before making plans.

Are there always senior dogs available in Phoenix?

How much does it cost to adopt a senior dog near Phoenix?
Adoption fees vary by organization, but senior dogs are frequently discounted or sponsored because they wait the longest. Open a dog's profile or contact the shelter or rescue directly for their current fee and any covered vet care.
What should I expect when I bring a newly adopted senior dog home?
