Story
Meet Buggy! This dancing queen got a second chance at life and is making the most of every minute. Buggy was found alone on train tracks with a severely broken leg and a traumatic head injury that cost her one eye. Thankfully, she was rushed to safety and we were able to get her the urgent medical care she needed. While Buggy's eye couldn’t be saved, her broken-in-four-places leg was given a chance - and Buggy took it and ran (literally!). After just one day in her cast, she was zooming around her foster home, full of life and joy. Today, Buggy is thriving. She loves people (has never met a stranger), especially ones she can snuggle with. Even with her leg still healing, she LOVES going for walks, rolling in the grass, and soaking up sunshine outdoors. But Buggy's true passion? Dancing! Buggy dances to celebrate every meal - she's a huge foodie - as well as to indicate when she needs to go outside to potty. We're not sure if she's doing tap, ballet, or hip-hop, but we love it! Buggy a testament to resilience - nothing can dim her spirit. Playful, affectionate, and always ready for a good time, she’s looking for a forever home where she can continue to shine. She gets along well with other dogs and would be fine in a home where she's part of a pack or the only one. She's housetrained and does well as long as she's let out for potty breaks frequently enough (she'll dance to let you know when she has to go!). She's great on the leash, rides well in the car, and is happy to stay home alone while her humans are out. She loves soft dog beds but is not a fan of crates. Buggy's gotten a second chance at life and is determined to enjoy every minute of it. She's looking for a family that will give her all the snuggles, take her on all the adventures, and - most importantly - dance with her like no one's watching! Are you ready to welcome a fun-loving, adorable, and brave pup into your life? Buggy is your girl and she's waiting for you! Buggy is approx 10 years old and 9 lbs.

Story
Kitty came to Miri's with her best friend, Red, and they want to stay together forever. She gets along well with dogs and cats and would do well in a home with older children. Her ideal home is relatively calm and quiet and will provide her with structure and consistency. She would like to have a fenced yard, as she is still working on learning about leashes. She doesn't need much exercise but she will need plenty of snuggles. She would be happier if there are humans around most of the time to provide snuggles as needed. Kitty likes to be talked to and sit with her humans while they eat. Her favorite spot is on the back of the couch (although she may need a lift to get up there). She is working on her potty training and does well with potty pads in the meanwhile. Kitty is approx 14 years old and 6 lbs.

Story
Tila has been through a lot: abandoned at a remote hunting cabin in 2023, adopted, then heartbreakingly returned to the shelter when his owner passed in 2024. However, he's settled into his foster home like a proper boss and is ready to find his forever family — for real this time! Tila's perfect forever family includes a top tier snuggle buddy, lots of outdoor adventures, and plenty of rides in the car — because nothing beats looking out the windows at the big world, knowing you’re not alone anymore AND you can also give people a piece of your mind from the comfort of your car seat! He would LOVE to have another dog in the house — especially a confident and playful one. He enjoys yard time, loves going on walks and adventures (he's great on the leash), and expects his meals to be served promptly. He’s using the pee pads, but he’s also rocking a belly band just in case. He's also happy to serve as your own personal tiny but mighty security system — no batteries required, just treats! When Tila first arrived, he had a firm policy regarding men: No. If you had a deep voice and a Y chromosome, Tila wanted absolutely nothing to do with you. His Foster Dad focused on winning him over the way all great men do — by offering snacks and respecting boundaries. And one day, against all odds, Tila walked up to Foster Dad, gave a long, dramatic sigh, and demanded to be pet immediately. Just like that, Tila went from “Don’t even look at me” to “Move over, I need your lap” in record time. Now, he lounges on Foster Dad like the tiny, benevolent king he is, having come to a shocking realization: Men have feelings too. And perhaps they need a little love as much as he does. This gentleman has an enormous heart and is searching for a forever home where he can spend the rest of his life in comfort, love, and on a lap.

Story
Red (aka Shark Bait) came to Miri's with his best friend, Kitty, and they want to stay together forever. Their original owner gave them up due to having to move. Red is going to need some time and patience to adjust to a new family. Red is good with other dogs and cats. He would do best in an adults only home with people who are home most of the time and can give him all the snuggles and support he needs. He would like a home that is calm, quiet, and can provide structure, routine, and a fenced yard where he can do some sniffing. He enjoys laying in people's laps and having his belly scratched, especially if they're eating. If he approached by people he doesn't know well, he may react negatively, so he will need slow and patient introductions to the people he is expected to interact with. Red is approx 14 years old and 5 lbs. fostered in Waynesboro, PA please apply at mirishaven.org

She loves other dogs and plays with stuffed toys with exuberance! She will be a great companion.
