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.

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 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

• Rescue Story: Meet Tonki👋 In April 2025, a group of small dogs—believed to be victims of an illegal breeding operation—were found abandoned together on the streets of South Korea. Tonki was one of them. Now, he’s ready to leave his difficult past behind and begin a new chapter as a beloved member of a loving family. Having learned how to live happily with humans in his foster home, Tonki is patiently waiting for his forever home—where he’ll be cherished, protected, and loved the way he truly deserves. • Personality: Sweet, Friendly, Bright Tonki is a lovable, easygoing pup with a bright, happy energy. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves showing his humans just how much love he has to give! While he may need a little extra time to warm up to adult men, once he does, he becomes a loyal and devoted furry companion. • Affinity with - Dogs: Wonderful with other dogs! He’d do great as an only dog or as a second dog. - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Good with people, including kids / Needs a bit more time to warm up to adult men. • House Training: Fully housebroken - using pee pads indoors and going potty outside. • Walking Manners: Super gentle on leash and loves going for walks! • Bathing/Brushing: Tolerates both well. • Separation Anxiety: May howl briefly when first left alone, but once he settled, he relaxes and rests peacefully by himself. • Barks/Howls: Occasional barking when a male family member approaches suddenly. • Car Rides: Comfortable and calm • Appetite/Food Allergies: Big eater! / No food allergies found so far. • Likes/Dislikes: Likes to play with toys that make noise. / Not a fan of being lifted suddenly by a male family member • Shedding level (1~10): 1-2 • Health: Currently a healthy pup! He tested positive for heartworm when rescued, completed treatment successfully, and tested negative in Dec 2025. ----------- **Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee.
