Story

Meet Piglet! He’s a sentient loaf with a tender soul wrapped in a rotund exterior —like if a Hot Pocket came to life. Piglet came to Miri's at twice the weight he should be, and he has been killing the fitness game since he got here: he’s gone from 12.4 lbs to 11.7, has started conquering indoor stairs (just the “up” for now. We celebrate progress, not perfection), and his sticky neck skin is healed. He loves leash outings, and if you so much as whisper the word “walk,” he’ll bark and bounce like a snack-sized gazelle. We’re keeping up with Piglet's health regimen and cheering him on every step (or stair) of the way. Piglet is looking for his forever home… but he’s not looking that hard because he refuses to move from his current cozy spot. So you’ll have to come to him. Here's what you need to know about this friendly (and sometimes spicy) burrito: - He gets along well with other dogs and cats and would love a canine brother or sister - He's working hard on housetraining and rocking a belly band in the meanwhile - He can be left home alone without starting a riot or getting into mischief - He LOVES exploring outside and smelling all the smells - his ideal home will have a fenced in yard and a family who'll take him on lots of walks and adventures (even hikes once he's slimmed down a bit!) Piglet needs time to warm up to new people before he trusts them enough for pets (honestly, seems like a good rule for all of us). His forever family will need to be patient, go slowly with him, and learn his body language so they can tell when he's uncomfortable and give him space. But once he knows he can trust you, he is the most loving, loyal, sweet, and squishy man. Piglet thrives in chill, predictable environments. So, no toddlers, no loud parties, and definitely no surprise guests dropping by all the time. Gentle, patient humans who are home a lot? Perfect. He’s also more of a “ladies’ man” than a “dude’s dude,” so he tends to prefer women over men. Most importantly, Piglet needs a family that will help him continue on his weight-loss journey. He’s got dreams of running, jumping, and chasing squirrels like a real, active dog. Help him reach his full potential, and he’ll reward you with love, loyalty, and cuddle sessions. Currently, Piglet's breathing seems labored, which may be weight-related. He has a level three (out of five) heart murmur that does not require medication. This little burrito has a heart as big as his body and will bring his forever family an endless supply of love, joy, and laughter. Submit your application for his review today! Piglet is approximately 8 years old and 11.7 lbs. Fostered in Woodbridge, VA Please apply at MirisHaven.org

Story

Meet Ernestine, aka Tina! This dainty little queen could easily win an award for Best Actress in Being Precious. Tina was found as a stray down south, lost, frightened, and unsure of what kindness looks like. Now she’s safe at the Haven after taking her very first flight to get to us. She’s spending her time in foster care resting, healing, and learning the fine art of chihuahua diplomacy in a house full of tiny, friendly supervisors who have made her feel right at home. Tina is looking for a home with patient humans who will let her acclimate on her own timeline. While it takes her some time to trust you and she's not much for snuggling yet, she LOVES chicken jerky treats and they are a surefire way to win her heart. She bravely eats them directly from her foster mom's hand, and will even let her foster mom pick her up as long as she does it confidently. Tina is a great dining companion. As soon as her foster mom sits down to eat dinner, Tina is right in front of her asking for a seat at the table. She's not leash-trained so she'll require a fenced-in yard. She loves bouncing around her foster mom's yard like a silly, happy explorer. Tina is a sweet girl who clearly wants attention, but she isn't sure yet if it's safe. Because of this, Tina does not like being pet or cuddled yet, but she loves when people coo to her or talk gently. We hope that with time, patience, and medical care to address physical pain, she'll come around. Tina gets along well with other small dogs - we haven't had a chance to observe her with bigger ones yet. She's learning lots of new skills in her foster home and is making great progress on both stairs and housetraining. For now, she will benefit from having some potty pads around. Tina does well in the car and is happy to stay home while her humans are at work. She will need a lot of patience and time to decompress in her new home. For now, she is not ready to be petted or cuddled but she likes when people talk to her gently. She enjoys hanging out in her crate, where she feels safest. Tina is looking for a quiet, gentle, and patient forever family who will win her over one chicken jerky treat at a time. Could it be yours? Ernestine is approximately 9 years old and 10 lbs.

Story

Meet Cornelius! Cornelius is a local celebrity, style icon, and the one-eyed bundle of love you didn’t know you needed. When we first introduced this pint-sized powerhouse, he came to us looking like he might not make it. We knew he faced an uphill battle to become healthy again, and luckily he had an unexpected fighting spirit. This resilient nugget went through massive palate reconstruction and somehow managed to just shrug it off like it was not big thing. He hasn’t missed a single beat in recovery. Cornelius is a pint-sized pirate of passion with exactly one working eye and absolutely zero sense of personal space. He’s part gremlin, part cuddlebug, and spends his evenings burrowing into blankets like a mole on a mission, staring into the middle distance with his good eye like he’s solving cosmic mysteries, and vibrating with joy anytime a snack bag crinkles within a 20-foot radius. He is all personality and loves his people - and his life - fiercely. Cornelius would love to be an only dog, but is happy to coexist with other dogs and cats if they let him be. He would love a fenced-in yard to totter around and sunbathe in. Because of his visual impairment and history of severe neglect, he can be a little spicy when surprised (or when, like any of us, he wakes up on the wrong side of the bed). But he loves his chosen people and gives the absolute best kisses and cuddles. Cornelius is approximately 12 years old, 6lbs, and absolutely epic.

Meet Daphne! There’s something magical about this chonk - she’s got that razzle dazzle and we know you can see it, too! A low key queen, Daphne just wants to Netflix & Chill next to you. She'll even grab your arm with her paw so she can give you kisses. Daphne is low maintenance in every way - loves strutting her stuff on the leash, riding shotgun in the car, and sleeping through the night (as long as she's in bed with her person, of course!). She is housetrained, a pee pad pro, and doesn't mind staying home alone while her humans are out and about, especially if she has another pup to keep her company. As she continues to have success on her weight loss journey, she's getting more energetic and playful. Daphne loves being around other dogs and is so great with cats that she plays with them! She prefers women over men and loves being spoken to like a baby. Her dream home is child-free but includes a canine sibling, as well as a family who will help her slim down. Daphne is on a special diet and exercise plan to address her weight, and needs a family who will be strict with her food intake, take her on lots of walks, and help her crush her weight loss goals. She has a history of bladder stones and needs a special urinary diet to prevent recurrence. Daphne can be selective when choosing her people, but completely melts into you once she's chosen you as hers. A strong independent woman, she'd rather you not pick her up unless you're giving her a lift into the car or onto the bed. She's an A + listener and was recenty elected president of the Goodest Girl club in her foster home. Apply today to meet her! Daphne is approximately 8 years old and 20 lbs.

Story

Meet Paisley! A Barbie in Chihuahua form, Paisley is searching for her Dream Home. For years, Paisley’s owner did everything she could for her little dog, even as she herself faced homelessness. She kept her safe, fed her when she could, and loved her fiercely. But recently she lost her home and Paisley’s pain became too much. She watched as Paisley's tiny face swelled and her jaw began to fracture under the weight of long-neglected infection, and surrendered her to us with tears streaming down her face, praying we could save her. We rushed Paisley to an oral surgeon who removed her rotting teeth, repaired her jaw, and cured the infection that was threatening her life. Paisley is recovering beautifully in foster home, eating her entire dinner like a champ just hours after her surgery. Brilliant and polite, Paisley has figured out that her foster mom needs some assistance putting her leash on. So, she stands up and gently puts her paws on foster mom’s leg to help clip her leash to her harness. We do not deserve such thoughtfulness, but what a gift this smart girl is! Paisley would love a calm and quiet home with people who are around most of the time. She loves to snuggle and go for short walks in the neighborhood, and is happy to live with cats as well as other dogs. Sweet, friendly, and cuddly, Paisley truly loves being around humans. She had some separation anxiety initially but it's improved greatly as she's settled in, so she'll likely need some time to get used to her new home. Paisley is housetrained, walks beautifully on the leash, and loves a good car ride. A true little fashionista, her favorite outfits are all pink. She can climb up and down a few stairs but will need a helping hand with a full staircase. Food motivated after years of scarcity, she has no compunction about thieving snacks from other pets in the household. You snooze, you lose! Don't snooze on applying to meet Paisley, though. A girl like this won't be on the market for long! Paisley is approx 13 years old and 6 lbs . Fostered in Berkeley Spring, WV Please apply at MirisHaven.org
