Story
Meet Benny, a sweet little Maltese who is looking for his forever home! This adorable little boy is super affectionate and loving, always ready to cover you in kisses. With his tiny frame of only 8 pounds, he is a bundle of energy and joy, bringing life to wherever he goes. Benny is estimated to be 5-6 years old, and despite his size, he has a big personality and an even bigger heart. Benny loves nothing more than running and playing in a yard, and he especially enjoys climbing up for some cuddles and kisses. He's used to being around other small dogs, so a home with a furry sibling could be ideal for this little guy. Although he may be a little shy at first with new people, once he warms up, he's a total cuddle bug who adores attention. Benny recently had a dental procedure and is now feeling better than ever! His blood work shows he's in excellent health, so he's ready to take on the world and find his forever family. If you're looking for a loyal companion to add some sunshine to your life, Benny could be the perfect match. He promises to bring laughter and love to his new home and is eager to find his place in the world. Could you be the one to show him what a loving family is all about https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index

Story
Meet Star! This spunky little dog was named Star because she sparkles with light. She will gleefully run up to you for attention even if she doesn’t know you. She’s the first to jump on your lap to kiss you on your cheek. You will often see her dancing on the sofa or in the house, full of happiness. Star is around 6 years old and weighs around 9 pounds. She is not accustomed to being on a leash, so a fenced yard is essential. She goes out for a potty break every few hours, like most small dogs. Star is very gentle and has never growled even once. She is perfect when being groomed and is very easy to care for. She does great around other dogs. Star had a dental and is current on vaccines and heartworm testing. If you would like to meet Star, please fill out her application here:https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index

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. Leo is the perfect match for someone looking for a calm, affectionate companion who just wants to enjoy the good life together. Adopt Leo and give this sweet boy the happy ending he deserves!   **BECAUSE OF OUR REQUIREMENT FOR A HOME VISIT, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ADOPT TO HOMES IN THE NORTHERN VA / MARYLAND / DC METRO AREA** We have adoption events EVERY SATURDAY from 12-3 p.m. Please note that not all dogs can attend every event, so if you are interested in meeting a particular dog, please complete a no-obligation application on our website at http://www.muttloverescue.org/application.html OR write to adopt@muttloverescue.org.
