Story
Guppy isn’t just your average senior chihuahua — he’s a full-blown supermodel in a tiny package. Whether he’s serving Blue Steel or busting out his signature stretch pose, this little dude knows how to work the camera and the ladies. And he doesn't bark often, but when he does it's really more like singing. But don’t let his good looks and smooth moves fool you into thinking that's all he's got to offer — Guppy’s also a professional couch warmer, snack connoisseur, and personal shadow. He has the charm, the poses, and the tiny paws to steal your heart (and maybe your snacks). He is an absolute lover, of humans (including kids!) and other pups (his favorite activity is a group cuddle puddle with other dogs). He really enjoys being with his people — especially bedtime snuggles under the covers — and needs a family who is home with home with him most of the time and can love on him 24/7. He would also love a household with another dog friend (or two!). He is house trained but wears a belly band to reduce sprinkles. He will politely let you know if his band needs changing. He is always excited for meals and treats and is an excellent listener. He does well on car rides and is happy to hang with his canine foster siblings when his humans are out. He's okay walking on the leash but loves taking his time to stop and smell the roses so would prefer a fenced-in yard to explore. Think you can handle this level of cuteness? Submit an application today before Hollywood calls! Guppy is approximately 13 years old and 6 lbs. Fostered in Ashburn, VA. Please apply to adopt at MirisHaven.org

Story
Meet Buggy! This sweet senior chihuahua is reslience personified. Buggy was discovered lying motionless near railroad tracks. She showed obvious signs of injuries of varying ages. Upon examination by the shelter she was found to be febrile and dehydrated with recent trauma to her head and left eye and a broken and banged up hind leg. She wound up needing her eye removed, and now she has the cutest wink. We swooped in to make her a Miri's girl and are working hard to help her heal and feel safe again. She's done great with the other dogs at the Haven so far and seems comfortable despite her injuries. She's even hopping around on her leg! She is incredibly sweet and settling in well to her foster home. Buggy is approx 10 years old and 12 lbs, Fostered in Warrenton, VA Please apply at MirisHaven.org

Story
Meet Buck, the gentlest and cuddliest soul there ever was! At first glance, 14 year-old Buck may look a little feeble on his long, spindly legs - but once he opens up and trusts you, you'll quickly see that there's so much more to him. He is a true velcro dog and wants to be with you 24/7. Hanging at home? He'll snooze nearby. Going for a drive? He'll go along for the ride. Running errands? Just pop him in a tote bag and he'll help you do them. Buck LOVES cuddling and is hoping his family will have a top tier snuggle buddy. And if you like to sing, he's happy to accompany you with his little howly voice. And when he barks, he honks like a goose! He's working on his housetraining but will likely always need to wear belly bands, though when the weather is nice and he's outside more he doesn't use them as much. He's also great on the leash Buck just loves people and wants to be with them all the time. His ideal forever family will be home with him most of the time - and willing to take him with them or have someone stay with him when they go out. He really just wants to be cuddled 24/7, and we can't blame him! Buck has a very sensitive tummy and is on a microbiome diet with probiotics to help with it. He can go up a couple of steps but prefers to be carried down them, and also needs help getting down from furniture at the end of snuggle sessions. Buck is the biggest sweetheart and deserves the best happily ever after! Fostered in Gainesville, VA Please apply to adopt at MirisHaven.org

Story
Meet Primrose, our tiny warrior! She is a approximately 9 years old and 6 lbs. When we received word from the shelter that a tiny Chihuahua had been brought in suffering from severe skin issues, mammary masses, and horrific teeth, we knew we needed to act quickly. Primrose and a cat were jammed into a carrier and surrendered to the shelter by someone who claimed to have found her on the street five months ago. The owner told the shelter all kinds of beautiful things about how much Primrose loves to sleep in a human bed, is friendly with cats (a good thing when crammed in a carrier with one!), and enjoys a good nap. The owner also said Primerose is likely deaf. We don’t know the truth of the situation, but we do know that Primrose is in pitiful shape. If ever there was a soul who has suffered quietly for years, it’s Primrose. This tiny senior has been carrying the weight of relentless discomfort, her fragile body a testament to long-term neglect. Her skin tells the story - raw, inflamed, and unbearably itchy, likely for years. Her little ears? Thick with painful, yeasty buildup. Her legs? Weak and wobbly, likely from muscle wasting and luxating patellas that have gone untreated for far too long. Now that she is a Miri's girl, Primrose is safe and wearing the finest yellow sweater. She received a Cytopoint injection to soothe the constant itch, a compounded dose of ketoconazole to fight the relentless fungal overgrowth, and intensive ear treatments. Her regimen now includes alternating medicated baths and medicated mousse to bring relief to her raw skin. Primrose is fighting, but she needs to know that on the other side of her fight is a forever family waiting to spoil her with all of the love, care, and kindness she so deeply deserves.

Meet Asia, the premium sweetie you’ve been missing! Asia found herself looking for a new home through no fault of her own ~ her previous owner had to move and couldn’t bring all of their dogs. But don’t worry, this resilient lady is adjusting beautifully in her foster home. She’s been a perfect angel for her vet visits and is already making friends like a pro. Asia is looking for a forever family to shower her with love, fresh greens (she loves baby kale!) and maybe a cozy spot on the couch. If you’re ready to meet this gorgeous gal, submit your application today. Asia is approx 10 years old and 16 lbs. Fostered in Severn, MD Please apply to adopt at MirisHaven.org
