Senior dogs near San Diego
Meet 60 adoptable senior dogs (age 7+) in and around San Diego. Each one is from a local shelter or rescue and ready to give an older dog's quiet, grateful love.
There are currently 60 adoptable senior dogs (age 7 and up) in and around San Diego, California, each from a local shelter or rescue. Senior dogs 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 near San Diego means a grateful companion close to home — and often a shorter drive to meet them in person.
