Story
Todd is a move-in ready, easy dog who just wants to be loved. He gets along with people, dogs, and cats. He is a great car passenger and is easy to walk on a leash. He's fully housetrained and sleeps well through the night. He is well behaved when left home alone -- just point him to the bed, and he'll snooze the day away. His exercise needs are fairly modest. He's more of a lover than a jogger. And he's super quiet, so he won't disrupt you if you're teleworking. Todd is blind, but you wouldn't know it to watch him maneuver through the world. He's happy on walks and wandering around in the yard. He's not the biggest fan of stairs, but he can do a couple if you ask nicely. He needs some daily eye drops, but is a good sport about them. He came to Miri's with a skin condition, but that is clearly up with regular ointment. Like most dogs his age, he's also taking some cosequin for arthritis. He's on a diet for dogs with sensitive stomachs and is faring quite well. Todd loves to explore, both inside and out; loves to have his head and lower back rubbed while he naps; loves to eat; loves to ride in his car seat. He's hoping his new home has a fenced yard, a dad (he adores his foster dad), and lots of snuggles. He is a perfect little guy, quiet and with the softest fur. Whoever adopts him will be so lucky. Todd Clark is approx 12 years old and 24 lbs. Fostered in Rockville, MD. Please apply at mirishaven.org.

Story
  Meet Annie! Say hello to Annie, a absolutely adorable and spirited Chihuahua who is a whirlwind of personality, charm and sweetness all wrapped up in one perfectly tiny and completely irresistible little package! This sweet girl is looking for a loving home with a good routine where she can feel completely safe and be the very best friend you have ever had! A Little About Annie: Do not let her small size fool you for even one second — Annie brings BIG energy, BIG personality and an even BIGGER heart to everything she does! She is sweet, sassy, smart and absolutely full of life in the most wonderful and entertaining way possible. Annie's Highlights: Good with Small Dogs & Cats — Annie does well with other small dogs and cats making her a great fit for a multi pet household. She does get a little nervous around large dogs so a home without big canine companions would suit her best ️ Champion Lap Dog — When Annie is done conquering the world she will climb right into your lap, curl up and fall into the most peaceful and gloriously snory sleep you have ever witnessed. Yes she snores. Yes it is the cutest thing you have ever heard in your life Crate & House Trained — Annie is fully crate trained and house trained and actually sleeps in her kennel at night like the perfectly routine oriented girl she is Certified Foodie — Annie is a treat lover of the highest order and will do just about anything for a good snack. Food motivated? Absolutely and completely Knows Her Commands — This smart little cookie knows her basic commands including sit and stay proving that great things absolutely do come in small packages Fair Warning About the Wardrobe — Annie's daily vigorous energy means that all clothes, shoes and accessories need to be picked up and put away. If you leave them out Annie will absolutely find them, drag them around and then look you dead in the eyes while daring you to try and get them back. Consider yourself lovingly warned! Annie's Leash Journey — A Success Story! Annie loves her walks so much that she used to overplay and overexert herself, sometimes getting the wind knocked right out of her when she hit the end of the retractable leash at full speed. But here is where Annie's story gets really amazing — Her incredibly dedicated foster mom taught Annie to come when she calls her name and this one brilliant trick has changed absolutely everything! Instead of racing to the end of the leash Annie now turns it into a fun and interactive game — responding with 100% perfection every single time. This is a newer trick but Annie has completely and totally mastered it and it has made a world of difference in her quality of play and her overall happiness and wellbeing. Annie's Golden Hour: Here is a little insider tip for getting the very best of Annie — After her post lunch nap is when this girl is absolutely and completely at her finest! This is when Annie: Distributes an abundance of kisses freely and generously Receives quality scratches with pure and total bliss ✨ Is the sweetest and most loving version of herself A little note about the scratches — Annie does have a limit on how many she will accept before she politely but firmly reminds you that you have exceeded your quota. But the good news is you can absolutely get MANY wonderful scratches in before that moment arrives so scratch away! What Annie Needs: A Safe & Loving Home — Annie thrives when she feels secure and protected A Good Routine — This girl does her absolute best when her days have structure and predictability Small Dog or Cat Friendly Home — No large dogs please! A Best Friend — Because that is exactly and completely what Annie will be to the right person Annie is a sweet, smart, sassy and completely loveable little girl who has so much to offer the right home. She will make you laugh every single day, keep you on your toes, snore peacefully in your lap and love you with her whole tiny and enormous heart. She is not just looking for a home. She is looking for her person — someone who will give her the routine, the safety and the love she deserves so she can be exactly what she was always meant to be. Your absolute very best friend in the whole wide world. Adoption fee includes: first 2 DAPP, bordetella, deworming, flea preventative, sterilized, heartworm test, microchip Adoption fee: $375.00   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.

Story
Dexter would like to formally apologize for absolutely nothing. This 8-month-old, 12-pound Pug/Shih Tzu mix is essentially a tiny furry hooligan wrapped in an adorable flat face. His hobbies include competitive zoomies, enthusiastic roughhousing, chasing his foster buddies, being chased by his foster buddies, and creating general household merriment. If there's fun happening, Dexter is either involved or responsible. And then—plot twist. The tiny lunatic clocks out and becomes a complete snugglepuss. Dexter loves curling up with his people, soaking up affection, and looking completely innocent, as though he wasn't just ricocheting around the house five minutes earlier. He's got the Pug squish, the Shih Tzu fluff, and enough personality for three dogs. Frankly, it's an unreasonable amount of cute in a 12-pound package. Dexter is looking for a family, including kids that appreciate the finer things in life: laughter, playtime, doggy shenanigans, and a warm lap at the end of a hard day's zooming. Tiny? Yes. Dignified? Rarely. Boring? Never. **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our adoption questionnaire.** The adoption fee for this dog is $425. Routine vetting and spay or neuter surgery are included in the adoption fee. For more information, please email kberger@petconnectrescue.org

Story
Introducing, Rooster! Rooster is 3 years old and 15 lbs. He was found as a stray and sadly no one came looking for him. Rooster has been spending time in an awesome foster home. His foster mom reports: "Rooster (who we lovingly call Roo or RooRoo- he is picking up on his name) is a chi-mix through and through. Roo completely bonds with his owner and is ready for his forever person to cuddle with, play with, and protect. He is a feisty little guy with other dogs out and about and takes a while to warm up to new people, but once he decides you are his person, he will be by your side (or on your lap) as often as possible. I’ve had the privilege of being his temporary chosen person and he has given me so much love in return. He sits on my lap all day while I work, with some potty and play breaks of course. Roo is house-trained, and benefits from a consistent walk schedule. He would love to come with you to work or work from home with you! He does well with my dog and cats, even when his jealousy comes out and he places himself right in between me and them. He takes a bit to warm up and trust other creatures/humans, but if you give him the time, you will have a forever best friend." Interested in learning more about Rooster? Apply at www.novapetsalive.org/adopt. *Rooster is neutered, up to date on vaccines, was given dewormer and monthly preventatives, and is microchipped.
