Story
Popcorn is about 18 lbs., 14 years old and according to Google lens, a West highland terrier. Animal Care Services thought he was a Maltese mix and foster mom thinks he could be a Schnauzer/Maltese mix but knows for sure that he is the cutest scruffy EVER!!! His journey hasn't been all snuggles and treats as he lived on someone's apartment patio for years, lying in poop, grass and other debris until Animal Care Services came for him and God's Dogs Rescue was able to save the little scamp. While he still loves his humans, other gentle pups his size (cats unknown) and his squishy toys and chewy, understandably he has a few emotional scars especially regarding vet visits and grooming. Slow, patient progress in these areas has helped him be more confident, but will need a patient adopter to help him adapt. Things that make Popcorn super happy are spending time with his humans after he gets to know them, car rides and walks in the park. He loves, loves his squishy toys and generally carries one around with him. His most favorite game is for his person to chase him and pretend to take his squishy away. He also like to run zooms and if there isn't a person to play with he will often throw his toys for himself. Doesn't that just make you want to throw his stuffies so he can play?? He's a healthy guy for his age with just a few old man issues (beginnings of cataracts) that he takes supplements for and should continue taking. His liver enzymes were high when tested but he is on a med to help them normalize. Can you give this boy the right lap to live in?? He needs very patient/knowledgeable adopters, no children- adult only because he will bite if afraid... It is a work in progress but he is becoming the goofy boy he was meant to be while living on the nasty hot and freezing porch for most of his 14 yrs :( GIVE HIM A CHANCE!!! Local adoption only $200 (in TX)

Story
Meet Casey, an amazing sweet dog who has charmed everyone she has met, loves to cuddle and snuggle right up next to you-Casey has had a rough year, dumped on the street, then a broken leg (had surgery to fix it) and finally ready to find her forever home. Casey is outgoing and friendly and has never met a stranger. Great on walks. She is young and playful , great with dogs (at least her size, (has not met bigger dogs), was good with the older kids she has met. Housebroken and crate trained and very loving. PLEASE NOTE- AN APPLICATION FROM THE WEBSITE ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG IS REQUIRED prior to any meet and greet. Calling, emailing and using the “contact us” link is not useful and will delay your consideration in the adoption of the dog. The adoption fee is $450, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including age appropriate vaccinations, worming, flea/tick preventative and spay/neuter. All of our dogs will be microchipped. Because our dogs are in foster homes, applications are required prior to setting up any appointments. Calling or emailing may delay your consideration.

Please understand that we do our best to describe our dogs but often we rescue them with virtually no information about them and often our best educated guess can be challenging. Currently check, cash or venmo is preferred payment

Story
Taffy is a 4-year-old Malti-Pom (born in August 2020), originally from Pennsylvania but raised in Virginia. She weighs about 6 lbs and is full of personality! Taffy is playful, affectionate, and loves to follow you around the house—she’s never far from her favorite humans. While she’s not used to being around other dogs, she thrives on being the center of attention. She’s a sensitive girl and gets scared by loud noises or thunder, so a calm and comforting home environment is best. Taffy is crate-trained for sleeping but otherwise prefers her freedom. She’s healthy, happy, and ready to bring lots of joy to the right home.

Story
Meet Sarah! This sweet, precious girl is learning what love and kindness feel like for the first time. Before coming to Miri's Haven, Sarah spent her life in a tiny wire cage with a backyard breeder who hoped to profit from her. Even though she couldn't produce puppies, she was still confined to the cage year after year. Now safe in foster care, this brave little soul is discovering what it means to be loved, cherished, and free. She is receiving tons of pampering and beginning to understand that life can be leisurely and beautiful - no wire cages in sight, only the finest puppy beds (and maybe a human bed or two!). Sarah is still getting used to interacting with humans. While she isn't sold on too much petting or snuggling just yet, she always wants to be nearby and loves a bedtime head scratch. She is a joyful girl and LOVES playing with toys and rolling around in dog beds. Her favorite sleeping position? On her back with her tongue out, snoring so everyone can hear just how content she is. Sarah absolutely loves food - when she's about to get a treat, she does the most adorable and impressive tap dance to celebrate. She also loves time exploring the yard with her foster sister. She's not housetrained but is happy to wear diapers inside, and she gets along well with both cats and dogs. She walks well on the leash and is happy riding in the car or staying home while her people are out. She is looking for a family who can be patient with her as she learns to navigate her new world and help build her confidence. She thrives on consistent routines and will do best in a calm, gentle home - ideally one that has a fenced in yard and humans who are home much of the time. Sarah has been gaining confidence from dogs who are around her size, so we think she would do best in a home with at least one other fur sibling. Sarah is looking for a forever home filled with plenty of space and the kindest humans we can find. She deserves so much love and we know the right forever family will find her soon - could it be yours? Sarah is approximately 10 years old and 7lbs. Fostered in Gaithersburg, MD Please apply at MirisHaven.org
