Story
Meet Casper. Casper is an 11-year-old Maltese with a happy tail, a soft heart, and one very clear life goal: to be as close to his person as physically possible. This sweet little guy is the ultimate companion dog. He loves being near you, watching you, following you, snuggling you, and being held like a baby. He’s calm, cuddly, relaxed, and well-behaved — but make no mistake, Casper is happiest when his human is within reach. One of Casper’s greatest joys is the yard. He loves having a safe fenced space where he can sniff, wander, and frolic through the grass at his own little pace. A fenced yard would be a dream for him, especially because rain is absolutely not his favorite and grass time is one of the things that makes him happiest. Casper is potty trained (uses pee pads), good on leash, low energy, and very good at communicating what he needs — whether that’s food, a bathroom break, bedtime, or simply being picked up and carried around. He can be left alone for short periods with a pee pad available, but he does feel most secure when someone is home more often than not. At night, Casper has one very important requirement: he needs his person close by to fall asleep. He prefers to start the night in his human’s bed or curled up beside them on the couch. Once he’s fully passed out, he can be moved to his own dog bed, but if you’re someone who welcomes a little dog into bed, Casper would be in absolute heaven. Casper has a slight back leg issue that gives him a funny little waddle when he runs, but it doesn’t bother him or slow him down. He’s also scheduled for a dental and is currently loving his wet food meals. Casper is happy, sweet, goofy, loving, and calm. He’s the kind of dog who doesn’t ask for much — just a cozy couch, a soft bed, a little patch of grass, and a human who understands that being loved by Casper means being loved very, very closely. We just welcomed 11 year 15 lb neutered male maltese Casper. Fostered in Boonsboro, MD Please apply at mirishaven.org

Story
Meet Harry & Sally – A Sweet Bonded Pair Looking for Their Forever Home Harry and Sally are a heart-melting father–daughter duo ready to spend their golden years side by side in a loving home. Harry, a gentle senior Maltese mix, and Sally, his equally sweet Yorkie/Maltese mix daughter, share an unbreakable bond and must be adopted together—they’ve been each other’s constant companions and truly thrive as a pair. These two have settled beautifully into their foster home and enjoy a calm, cozy routine. While they’ll occasionally engage in a little playful moment together, their favorite activity is simple: snuggling up on the couch and staying close to their people. They’re the definition of loyal companions and will happily follow you from room to room just to be near you. Harry and Sally are pee pad trained and continuing to make great progress with house training. At bedtime, they sleep in a crate and, after a brief moment of protest, settle in quietly for the night. They are slowly getting used to other dogs and would do best in a home with calm, respectful canine companions. They’re also perfectly fine with cats. A peaceful, low-key environment will help them feel most comfortable and secure. These sweet seniors have so much love left to give and are ready to fill a home with warmth, companionship, and gentle joy. If you’re looking to open your heart to a devoted duo who will love you endlessly, Harry and Sally are waiting to meet you. Adoption fee: $300 pair , includes first 2 DAPP, bordetella, sterilized, heartworm test, dewormed, flea preventative, microchip. Harry just had a dental cleaning.   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have. The adoption policies and applications can be found at the following links: https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-cat and https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-dog.

Story
Location: Abingdon, MD Hi there! I'm Ella, a 7-year-old sandy Shih Tzu-Bichon ☺️. At just 10 pounds, I'm the perfect petite companion, and I get along wonderfully with other dogs 🐾 I'm ready to find my forever home where I can shower you with love and cuddles. My adoption fee is $275 — come meet me and see what you've been missing! 💕 This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito producing a positive test in six months. OPH will treat the dog and provide two weeks of recovery time prior to adoption. Potential adopters will receive detailed information on the disease and their role in completing the recovery process from OPH’s heartworm coordinator. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable.
