Story
If you`re looking for a Southern Bell - Belle is your girl! At 8ish years old, this beautiful gray-and-brown girl has fur that feels like velvet and a personality that`s every bit as sweet. Belle is a professional belly-rub recipient, an enthusiastic fetch player, and a stuffie collector extraordinaire - she almost always has a favorite toy nearby. When she`s not busy carrying around her latest treasure, she`s happy to curl up for a nap, snuggle in your lap, or sleep on the bed next to her person. She also ignores cats, is housebroken, and is absolutely obsessed with treats, so you`ll never have to wonder what her love language is!Belle is still working on a few things as she settles into her best-dog era. She is not a fan of the crate and will let you know her feelings loudly, so a home where crating isn`t necessary would be ideal. Belle can get a little growly when another pup gets attention or treats, so she eats separately and will do best with continued positive, consistent guidance around sharing her people. And then there are her... culinary curiosities: paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, and even Q-tips are apparently delicacies in Belle`s world, so her humans will need to keep those tempting snacks safely out of reach. Thunderstorms, car rides without a companion, or being picked up stress her a bit - but with an emotional support stuffie, some belly rubs, and a cozy spot beside you, you`ll have a very happy girl ready to tackle the scaries with you. Belle does have a Grade 3 heart murmur, which currently doesn`t affect her day-to-day life.Is your hearting ringing yet? This Belle won`t be available for long - apply today!If you’d like to take this pupper home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application. The adoption fee is $150 and covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like this one for their forever homes. By the time you meet them, they’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. They’ve been checked by a veterinarian and are up to date on necessary vaccinations, including Rabies and DHLPP. They have also been tested for heartworm and tick-borne diseases and have started heartworm and flea preventative medication. Some of our dogs have even undergone extensive medical care to ensure they’re ready for a happy, healthy life with you!

Story
Meet Oscar 🐾 Oscar is a one-of-a-kind little guy who is part Dachshund, part Chihuahua part Pittie, part mystery, and 100% lovable! With his long body and short little legs, he’s basically a hot dog with a Pittie smile. 😂❤️ Oscar is super affectionate, playful, and cuddly. At just barely a year old he has plenty of energy and loves to play, but when playtime is over, he’s more than happy to curl up with his favorite person. He also does wonderfully with other dogs and sleeps like a champ in his crate. 💤 He’s mostly potty trained and is learning more every day. He’s also apparently pursuing a career in interior design—he loves rearranging the dog beds and toys to create what he believes is the perfect layout. 😂 Oscar does have a mischievous side. He LOVES food and may occasionally jump on tables or go looking for snacks. In fact, this little genius has figured out how to open Tupperware! We believe some of this comes from his history of food insecurity, so he’s still learning that he doesn’t have to worry about where his next meal is coming from. ❤️ Oscar is sweet, silly, energetic, affectionate, and just the right amount of naughty. He’s looking for a family who will give him patience, structure, cuddles, playtime, and most importantly, the chance to finally feel safe and loved. Oscar may rearrange your furniture, steal your heart, and possibly figure out your Tupperware… but we promise he’s worth it. 🐶❤️ Local adoption fee is $350 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Peanut has a big dog personality and if he sees other dogs, he gets super excited, and the yipping sounds scary, but he just wants to play!! He's a nipper and he likes to jump on you out of excitement and although he LOVES kids, he should be in.a home with older kids Peanut is still young, and has plenty of energy to play and run.He has been known to be a runner- He will take off and think, it's a GAME and it will be hard to catch him, so careful at the doors nd fences ;) But smart sweet pup loves kisses and lay on your lap . He walks good on a leash i put 2 one on harness and collar since I don't want him to get loose. (harnesses are too easy to get out of, so a martingale collar is his best collar) He can upset a bigger or smaller dog if they don't have a tolerance for nippiness.In the face kinda of thing he loved to play and he runs super fast lol 😆 they would have to be extra careful that he never gets out of front.Door or takes off he laughing fast 😅 Poor little guy almost got run over on these big streets all alone, and we NEVER want that to happen to him again. So now you know more about the firecracker named Peanut. He is a doll!! ADOPT....DON'T SHOP!! Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Cookie is between 5 and 6 years old. She deserves a home with someone that has time for her, rather than spending her days in a crate. She is very nervous/afraid when first meeting new people, but warms up quickly. I've had her for about 4-1/2 years, she came from the local animal shelter. All shots are up to date. She recently had her nails clipped and glands expressed.She is a good dog, but does not like to be alone. She is kept in a crate while alone. If left out of the crate while alone, she has a tendency to get into things, chew things, etc. She may also pee on the floor if left alone out of the crate. She sleeps in my bed at night.Cookie needs to live in a single family home. A friend wanted her, but she barked too much and neighbors complained, so apartment life is not recommended.Crate, toys and food are included.

Story
Gracie is a one-of-a-kind low-riding, wide eared phenomenon who will stare directly into your eyes as if she has an important communication for you, The right adopter will be able to hear her. Her breed blend is a bit of a mystery. Basset? Dachshund? Who knows? Who cares? Not Gracie. Her legs measure approximately 11 baby carrots in length but she toddles through the room with the confidence of a an Amazon. Her ears are wide enough to pick up satellite signals, ensuring free cable for her new family! Gracie is a genuinely lovely little companion. She adores her people, enjoys a slow, thoughtful stroll {emphasis on slow}, and would happily spend the rest of her days being near you while you do absolutely anything… or nothing at all. She is the perfect home companion. Housetrained, good on the leash, happy to go for car rides, generally sleeps through the night. She is happy to spend all her time with her human and wants to be the one and only pet. Her vision and hearing seem pretty solid. Due to her back pain, she has trouble with stairs and would prefer to be carried up and down, like the queen that she is. Gracie would love for her new home to have a fenced yard where she can amble around, sniff things, and soak up the rays. She'd also love to go for lots of walks, have plenty of snuggle time, and enjoy a calm, quiet routine with her beloved human. She is hoping her human will be home most of the time or take her with wherever they go. She loves to be petted and snoodled and talked to. She will follow you everywhere! Not only will she lie AT your feet, she will lie ON your feet! Gracie has cushing's disease, so she will need to stay on medication to help her manage it for life. She also has some arthritis, including the above-mentioned back pain, which is benefitting from joint supplements like Cosequin and medications like gabapentin. She will also benefit from routing anal expressions (sorry, Gracie!). Gracie is a happy, happy dog, with the waggiest tail you could imagine! Gracie will not be your jogging partner or you agility champion, but she will be your devoted, loving companion. Gracie is approx 11 years old and 35 lbs.

Story
Meet Bob! Bob is a handsome dude with the perfect balance of adventure and snuggles. He is always up for exploring the yard, sniffing out his next great digging spot, or curling up beside his favorite people for some quality cuddle time. Bob is an affectionate, curious boy who loves people, treats, and anything involving attention. He'll happily join you for a leisurely walk before settling in for a cozy nap. His foster says he has *very* selective hearing, especially when he's discovered a new place to dig. If you call his name, he'll pretend not to hear you... but the wagging tail gives him away every time. Bob gets along well with other dogs, though he'd prefer to soak up all the attention as your one and only pup. Cats, however, are a definite no-thank-you. He would do best in a calm home without young children, ideally with someone who's home much of the time and enjoys a quieter pace of life. Bob doesn't mind going for leash walks, although he also likes to wander in the yard. He isn't the biggest fan of car rides yet. Bob's vision is extremely limited, but he still gets around well, enjoys going up and down stairs, and doesn't let age or vision issues slow him down. He does need eye drops, but he's a good sport about them. Most importantly, he has a huge heart and so much love to give. Bob's ideal home would have a fenced yard (where he's allowed to do some digging) and a family that loves to snuggle with him. He would prefer a calm and quiet environment with a routine. Left home alone in a crate, he does well. Left loose he may get into a tiny bit of mischief. If you're looking for a loyal little sidekick who will keep you company on your adventures and happily snuggle up afterward, Bob can't wait to meet you. Bob is approx 12 years old and 10 lbs. Fostered in Belcamp, MD Please apply at mirishaven.org

Story
Honey came from a high kill shelter in 2024 & was adopted by a family who had 2 kids after adopting her. She didn't adjust well to having kids in the house, & was surrendered to us to be fostered temporarily. While she's great in our home, she isn't doing well w/ living in a high traffic area w/ constant noise outside & not having a place to go to the bathroom or on walks without seeing other people + dogs.She's sweet w/ her people, but takes time to adjust to new people & build trust. She has a tendency to growl, bark, & occasionally lunge at new humans in her space, but she has been okay as long as new people give her a very slow introduction. It's best if Honey isn’t brought into other homes with other people—that seems to scare her. On leash, Honey doesn't do well w/ people running past her, & barks/jumps at other dogs.She's an incredibly loving dog who'd do GREAT in a quiet home w/ someone who works from home often, no kids, & very few visitors. She loves snuggles under blankets.

Hi, I'm Sweetie Speckles — a striking 4-year-old white and tan spotted miniature dachshund with a heart as big as they come! 🐕 I'm spayed, housetrained with a doggy door (which I taught myself to use in just 24 hours!), and crate trained, so I'm ready to settle right into your home. I'm friendly and playful with other dogs and cats, wonderful with children, and I love going for walks on leash and playing fetch with my ball. Even though I have some vision challenges, they don't slow me down one bit — I get around beautifully and live life to the fullest. If you're looking for an affectionate, loyal companion who'll shower you with cuddles and joy, let's meet! ❤️ Adoption fee is $300 local in Texas Out of state fee is $550 which includes transport and fuel.
