Story
Cece is a Maltese/Shih Tzu mix who will be 5 years old in April. We got her from a local breeder in Virginia Beach and she has been part of our family ever since. She is a very sweet, affectionate dog who loves cuddling, sunbathing in warm spots, and playing with other animals. Cece has a gentle and loving personality and enjoys being close to her people. She is also considered hypoallergenic, which can be a great fit for people with mild dog allergies. Unfortunately, due to changes in our family and Cece having difficulty adapting with our young son, we feel it is best for her to find a home where she can be more comfortable and thrive. This decision has been very hard for us because she truly is a wonderful dog. We are hoping to find a safe, loving home for her where she will continue to be cared for and loved.

Story
If love had a personality, it would look a lot like Pesto. This sweet little guy is pure affection wrapped in fur. Pesto is a certified Velcro dog who believes personal space is optional and cuddling is mandatory. If you stop petting him, don’t worry, he’ll politely remind you by reaching out and petting you right back. Yes, really. Consent is negotiable in Pesto’s world when it comes to affection. He adores people, thrives on companionship, and wants nothing more than to be close to his human at all times. Couch time, bedtime, lazy Sundays, quick kitchen trips, he’s your tiny, devoted shadow. Pesto gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes and does great with cats too. He walks nicely on a leash and is an easygoing, all around good boy who just wants love and a cozy place to belong. A few important notes about this charming little gentleman: • Must have a privacy fence because Pesto is a talented escape artist and believes adventure awaits beyond the yard • Recently neutered and still marking occasionally, but this should improve as hormones settle • Professional cuddle expert and enthusiastic ear cleaner. He will lovingly clean your ears whether you requested spa services or not Pesto is sweet, funny, affectionate, and completely devoted. The kind of dog who makes a house feel warmer just by existing in it. Adoption fee: $300 Covers neuter, vaccines, parasite prevention, and microchip Apply at www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com to add this lovable little shadow to your life.

Story
Meet Mirabel 💕 Mirabel is a four-year-old Maltese mix who is affectionate, playful, and full of personality. She’s curious and outgoing, with a silly side that will keep you smiling, but she’s also a true cuddler who loves to be close. Crate trained and well-mannered, Mirabel is great with kids and would thrive in a home with another dog—perhaps Maeve, her best friend from the Rescue. Whether it’s playtime in the yard or cozy time on the couch, she’s happiest when she’s included in the fun. Mirabel’s adoption fee of $300 includes her spay, vaccines, parasite prevention, and microchip. Visit www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com to fill out an application.

Story
Meet Harry & Sally – A Sweet Bonded Pair Looking for Their Forever Home Harry and Sally are an adorable father–daughter duo who are hoping to spend their golden years together in a loving home. Harry is a 15-year-old Maltese mix, and Sally is his 12-year-old Yorkie mix daughter. These two are a bonded pair and must be adopted together—they’ve spent their lives side by side and truly thrive in each other’s company. They are doing wonderfully in their foster home and have settled into a comfortable routine. Harry and Sally enjoy playing with each other occasionally, but their favorite pastime is snuggling on the couch and being close to their people. If you’re looking for loyal companions who just want to be where the humans are, these two fit the bill perfectly. They are pee pad trained, and continuing to work on house training with good progress. At night, they sleep well in a crate—after a short period of initial protest, they settle in and rest quietly. Harry and Sally are slowly warming up to the resident dogs in their foster home and would do best with other calm, quiet dogs who respect their space. Their experience with cats and children is unknown, so a calmer household is likely the best match for them. These sweet seniors have so much love to give and are ready to bring warmth, companionship, and gentle joy to a forever home that will cherish them together. If you’re looking to open your heart to a devoted duo, Harry and Sally would love to meet you.  Adoption fee: $375, includes all shots, sterilized, heartworm negative, dewormed, flea preventative, microchip   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.
