Story
Layla Magic born 12/10/25 with 5 siblings. My daughter choose her at Adoption fair in Townson when Layla was just 13weeks old. Since then she has grown of course, which is why she has to be rehomed. Layla is a playful pup with lots of energy. Lay loves meeting new friends, long walks running in the park treats & cuddles. Layla needs a friendly structured home with plenty of yard space.

Story
We’re not quite sure how this handsome wrinkly boy is still waiting for his forever family, because Cheerio is the kind of dog people are always asking us for. Cheerio is a young Shar Pei mix who is officially back in action after his cherry eye surgery and feeling fantastic. Now that his medical needs are behind him, there’s only one thing left on his to do list: find his people. And y’all, this boy makes it EASY. Cheerio is house trained, crate trained, walks nicely on a leash, and does great with other dogs. He settles into a home beautifully and is just an all around easy guy to have around. He’s happy to go for a walk, hang out with his dog friends, follow you around the house, or park himself nearby and supervise whatever you’re doing. He’s affectionate without needing to be glued to you every second, playful without being a complete maniac, and has enough personality packed into those wrinkles to keep you smiling. And we need to clear up one little rumor his pictures have apparently started: Cheerio is NOT a big dog. The camera has been adding at least 20 pounds. He’s only around 30 pounds, which is pretty much the perfect size. Big enough for adventures, small enough that getting him into the bathtub won’t require a forklift. Cheerio has spent enough of his young life in rescue. He’s healthy, happy, trained, dog friendly, ridiculously handsome, and ready to belong to somebody. Seriously… what are y’all waiting for? Cheerio’s adoption fee is $300 and includes his neuter, cherry eye surgery, vaccines, parasite prevention, microchip, and all other veterinary care he has received while with Full Circle Rescue and Sanctuary.

K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.Foster Program:    Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.  For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/ or email our Foster Coordinator at foster@k-9lifesavers.orgSPONSOR ME! Help Save Lives!    Make a tax-deductible donation today and help save a life.

Story
Meet Danny Boy! He has a heart of gold and a real penchant for couch snuggles. Danny is built around a head of truly remarkable scrunchy proportions ~ an architectural achievement that then required the installation of two enormous satellite-dish ears to properly stabilize it. The result is an ear span so impressive it occasionally receives signals from rooms he is not currently in. And yet, for all that heavy equipment, Danny uses it almost exclusively to listen for kind words and compliments. Danny is soft, affectionate, and deeply committed to earning as many gold stars in a day as possible. He believes couches were invented for shared sitting, beds for shared sleeping, and personal space for other families who don’t live here. He loves being pet and prefers staying close to his humans. His top criteria for his forever home is that his humans be home with him most of the time and love snuggling as much as possible. Danny enjoys walks (ideally about 20-minute ones) and loves meeting new people when he's out and about. He does a happy dance complete with prancing when his foster mom takes his leash out, or when he's about to be fed. He especially loves treats and wet food. Danny is living with both another dog and a cat in his foster home. He gets along well with both of them, though he doesn't show much interest in them unless they initate sniffing or play. He also gets along beautifully with children, walks well on the leash, and is a great copilot in the car. Danny has made excellent progress on his housetraining, although he is still using potty pads some of the time. He sleeps well through the night (and a decent portion of the day!). He doesn't mind staying home if his people have to go out for a bit, but he would much rather you be home with him. Danny is currently recovering from an ear infection and exposure to some tick-borne illnesses, but treatment is fairly straightforward and both issues should soon resolve. His vision and hearing are no longer 100% but he gets around fairly well. He does have some trouble navigating stairs, so he may need a helping hand if his forever home has them. If you'd like every morning to begin with two enormous ears slowly rising over the horizon (covers) at the sound of their favorite person waking up, Danny is your man. Danny is approximately 12 years old and 60 lbs. Fostered in Dunn Loring, VA Please apply at MirisHaven.org

Story
Meet Cruz! This handsome big boy has a larger-than-life personality and a heart just as big. Cruz is incredibly loving, playful, confident, and smart. He walks around like he owns the place, making friends wherever he goes and winning people over with his happy, goofy charm. Cruz has been waiting for his forever home since he was just 6 weeks old, and we can't understand why this amazing boy keeps getting overlooked. He has so much love to give and is more than ready to find a family of his own. Cruz is social and does well with other dogs. He loves being around people and is always ready for fun, whether it's going for a walk, playing with his favorite toys, or soaking up all the attention he can get. He's also walking beautifully on a leash and enjoys exploring the world with his people. If you're looking for a dog that will keep you smiling, shower you with affection, and be your loyal sidekick on every adventure, Cruz is your guy. He's a happy, playful, affectionate love bug with a big personality and an even bigger heart. All he needs now is the forever family he's been waiting so patiently to find. Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
