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. Email us at  adoption@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued cats. Email us at dogadoptions@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued dogs. See our calendar of adoption events at https://fancycats.org/(scroll towards bottom) You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like bridges between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats and dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters.

Story
Meet Harlee! Harlee has somehow managed to age into a tiny, distinguished gentleman instead of a cranky old man. He is exceedingly polite, emotionally stable, and he comes with a glowing reference list: housebroken, great with kids, respectful of cats, and currently living peacefully among other dogs like a tiny HOA president who just wants everyone to get along. Harlee is easygoing, affectionate, and adaptable in that magical senior-dog way that makes you forget what chaos feels like. He’s the kind of dog who fits into your life instead of rearranging it. He enjoys squeaky toys, though occasionally he loves them a little too much and must be supervised like a toddler with a kazoo. He loves a good walk, a committed couch partnership, a reliable mealtime, and his emotional support stuffy. He is happiest curled directly into a lap, pressed close like he’s trying to memorize your heartbeat. And then, occasionally, he remembers he has legs and releases a set of joyful zoomies ~ flying around with the kind of infectious happiness that turns your day around. Despite being a senior, Harlee did not get the memo about slowing down. He rides great in the car, walks nicely on leash, handles stairs without dramatics, and happily joins in on walks like this is simply part of his daily obligations as a dog. A recent dental and full vet workup confirmed he’s an overall healthy guy. He does have some mild arthritis starting in his hind end, which is being responsibly managed with a joint supplement - because self-care matters. Harlee loves riding in the car, which to him is decidedly not a passive activity. He rises onto his two back legs like a concerned citizen harassing a children’s lemonade standing asking to see their business license. Completely upright in the passenger seat, keeping watch over traffic, pedestrians, and any suspicious landscaping choices. He doesn’t bark or panic. He simply supervises. Like a small, elderly neighborhood watch captain in a wiry fur coat. And then he comes home and melts into any hooman willing or unwilling. Harlee is going to make someone extraordinarily happy. Hallmark happy ~ quiet evenings, warm laps, and a dog who checks on you as often as he checks on the road. Harlee is proof that senior dogs are not “past their prime.” They are the prime. Calm, loving, grateful, and still very much here for the good stuff. Apply today to meet him! Harlee is approximately 13 years old and 15 lbs of extremely good boy. Fostered in Rockville, MD Please apply at MirisHaven.org

Story
Meet Aspyn! This sweet girl is small enough to fit in the bend of your arm and quiet enough to disappear into a blanket to send you into a panic that she’s vanished. Aspyn was surrendered because the person who loves her could not provide the medical care she may need long term. Her records talk of chronic ear infections, and the luxating patellas we see so often. The slow, manageable things that become more weighty with time. Aspyn is a good pup whose family was struggling with the quiet maintenance of a small aging body. Aspyn is gentle and has lived peacefully with young children, cats, and other dogs. She has been left home alone for a few hours at a time and simply sleeps in her bed like a polite little loaf of bread waiting for her person to return. She’s not use to a crate, and she’s not fully housebroken, but she is potty pad savvy. Aspyn LOVES going outside and practically levitates at the sight of a leash. She toddles along like the world has personally invited her for a stroll and it has instantly become her best day ever. She also adores snuggling, preferring to be in your lap or your arms at all times - the best kind of Stage 5 clinger. Aspyn does not need chaos. She does not need perfection. What she needs is steadiness. A home where a small dog with delicate knees and tender ears can be carried when she’s tired and celebrated when she’s brave. A place where she can finish the second half of her life with dignity and grace, and we intend to find it. Aspyn is approximately 9 years old and 6 lbs. More details to come as we get to know her better. Fostered in Alexandria, VA Please apply at MirisHaven.org

Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html *****************   Sweet, laid-back Leo is a 10-year-young gentleman looking for his forever home. He came to Mutt Love after his beloved human mom could no longer care for him due to cancer, and now he’s ready to be someone’s loyal little sidekick. Leo is a quiet, easygoing pup with a lovable 17-lb “dad bod” (a light diet and plenty of walks are in his future). He thrives on companionship and would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. Once he chooses “his person”, he’s ALL IN. Think loyal shadow, professional snuggler, and emotional support sidekick. He is fully house-trained, loves his toys, and does well with children and other dogs. Cats are still an unknown.

Maltese Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 7 yrs 1 mo

Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
(7 years old, 11lbs) Personality: snuggler, affectionate, gentle, loyal, and eager-to-please. Couscous is an affectionate snuggler with a gentle, loyal, and eager-to-please personality that makes him an instant heart stealer. He loves leisurely walks so he can sniff and explore, and he happily entertains himself with his Kong. Once you sit down, expect him to curl up close and rest his head on your lap like the ultimate cuddle companion. He is mostly housetrained and continues to improve, and he is fully crate trained, settling quietly within about 15 minutes or less. Couscous is crated whenever his people leave the house, where he typically relaxes or naps peacefully until they return. He can be a little vocal when people first leave and may startle at loud noises, but with patience and consistency he continues to build confidence and independence. Couscous is friendly with guests and other dogs, does well on leash, and knows “sit,” “come,” and “good boy.” He is playful, travel friendly, and remarkably sweet, making him a wonderful fit for a loving home. If you are looking for a loyal, all-around sweetheart, apply today to meet Couscous. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC.
