Story
Taffy was found abandoned on a rural back road, painfully matted, with fur tangled over her eyes. She understandably does not want to be abandoned again, so she is looking for a home where people are around most of the time. Taffy walks reasonably well on the leash and enjoys time sniffing around the yard. She has been staying in a foster home with other small dogs and cats and gets along well with everyone. She rides well in a car if she is secure in a cat carrier, but riding loose makes her nervous. She needs help going up and down stairs but fortunately is easy to carry. She is a very sweet girl who loves treats and being with her humans. She also loves to push her big donut bed around trying to get it comfy. Taffy is blind and deaf. We are awaiting a determination of whether she will need to have her eyes removed, as they are quite painful for her. She is currently on eye drops, which does not make her happy. Taffy is also recovering from a fungal infection in her skin, but she is receiving treatment for that and is expected to recover. She has a grade 5 heart murmur which does not currently require any treatment but will require monitoring. Taffy came to us with separation anxiety, but she now feels secure enough in her foster home that it seems to have resiolved. She is a good communicator who rarely barks, except when shes done walking and pottying. She will occasionally bark if shes riding in car and needs to potty. She's also a great listener. Taffy is making good progress on her housetraining but will benefit from having potty pads available, at least initially. Taffy has had a hard life. She deserves all the good things. Can you give them to her? Apply today! Taffy is approx 12 yrs old and 10 lbs. Fostered in Berkeley Springs, WV Please apply at mirishaven.org

Story
Eliza was very much loved by her human, and suddenly they were ripped apart by circumstances beyond both of their control. She's now looking to start over and find the love that she's missing. Having shared her life with humans, Eliza is an expert at being someone's beloved pet. She is essentially housetrained (although having some puppy pads around wouldn't hurt, just in case), good on the leash, rides well in the car, and generally sleeps quietly through the night. She doesn't need much in the way of exercise, and she isn't demanding about lap or cuddle time (in fact, she'd rather skip it). She gets on fine with older children. Eliza is prone to pancreatitis, so she will need to stay on special food for that. She prefers to be carried up and down stairs and may have some hearing limitations. She would prefer a home where someone is home most of the time and seems mostly comfortable around older women. She would love to have a fenced yard and another dog in the house. It takes Eliza a little time to warm up to new people. Once she settles, she's a happy little girl. Her favorite part of the day is meal and bedtime. Loves lounging and napping throughout the day. She loves to run back to bed after mealtime. She will get excited and play with squeaky babies. She wants to be near her humans at all times and will bark if she can't see them. If you want a tiny, white, shadow to keep you company all the time,. you need an Eliza. Eliza is approx 14 years old and 5 lbs. Fostered in Winchester, VA. Please apply at mirishaven.org.

Story
Meet Ivony Ivony is a sweet and loving Maltese girl who is looking for a wonderful forever home. She was originally purchased for $1,600 and has been deeply loved and cared for. She is truly one of the sweetest, most affectionate little dogs you could meet. Ivony loves being around people and getting attention. She is gentle, playful, and very affectionate. She enjoys being brushed and lets you brush her hair, which makes grooming her a sweet bonding experience. She loves being pampered, cuddled, and included in the family. She is semi potty trained and has already made progress, although she may still have occasional accidents. She is young and continuing to learn, so she would do best with someone patient and consistent who can continue her potty-training routine. Ivony has had some difficulty getting along with our Pomeranian, Mylo. Because of their personalities and interactions, we believe Ivony may be happiest in a home where she can receive plenty of individual attention

Story
Senior dog notice!!! Meet Lulu 🐾 Lulu is a sweet, gentle senior girl of 12 years, looking for a quiet, loving home to spend her golden years in. Lulu is very low-key and not an active dog, making her a wonderful match for someone looking for a calm companion — whether that's a retiree, a quieter household, or anyone who wants a mellow presence at home rather than a high-energy playmate. She thrives on gentle affection and simply being close to her people. As a senior dog, Lulu will need some extra patience and understanding. She needs to pee frequently and may have accidents if she isn't let out often, so she'd do best with someone who's home a lot or can accommodate regular potty breaks throughout the day. She'll also benefit from routine vet check-ins and a soft, comfortable place to rest.

Story
Marley is a gentle, well‑mannered 6‑year‑old, 6‑lb pup looking for a loving forever home. I’ve been her second owner for the past three years, and she has been an absolute joy. She rarely barks, loves being petted, and enjoys simply being near her people. Marley has worked with a professional trainer to improve her leash manners, especially her tendency to pull, and she’s made great progress. She also has minor allergies that are easily managed. She’s a sweet, calm companion who would thrive with someone who wants a quiet, affectionate dog with a big heart in a tiny body.
