Meet Zen! I got him from a breeder at 11weeks old in May of 2016. Zen is like his name – calm, cool and collected. He is very intuitive, alert, and gentle. He enjoys going outside. Zen is very affectionate and loves to be held or lay next to you. He does not like being crated or away from his loved ones/ family.

Story
Bubbles and her sister and brother, Buttercup and Brodie were surrendered to a kill shelter because their owners just had too many and couldn’t find homes on their own. Their mom is a long-haired Chihuahua and their daddy is a Shih Tzu and they were born on February 2nd this year so they are 8 months old. Bubbles has been spayed, is up-to-date on vaccines and heartworm negative. She’s also microchipped. She weighs just under 9 pounds and is probably full grown now. Bubbles is great at the Vet and The Groomer and loves riding in the car. She needs a little practice on the leash and she’s making great progress on house training. Although and three pups are extremely sweet, Bubbles is a most friendly and a super snuggler! She plays great with her brother and sister and we feel like she would be fine with other dogs after getting to know them. She would do well with older children and we have not had her around cats but we feel like she would be fine with proper introduction. If you would like to give this super affectionate love bug her forever home, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or dogs4mylife@gmail.com. If you do not see a response, please check your spam folder.

Buttercup is a little bossy but plays great with her brother and sister. we feel like she would be fine with other dogs after getting to know them but would always want to be the boss. She would be fine with older children, and we are not sure about cats but the bossy part would be the same at first.

Story
Meet Darlene! This tiny Shih Tzu girl was found starving to death locked in an abandoned home in DC alongside another dog. Darlene survived, but her friend - the other dog - did not. Fortunately, she made her way to Miri's Haven and is thriving in recovery. Darlene is steadily gaining weight and slowly, tenderly coming out of her shell. Watching her figure out that the world can be kind has been such a sweet thing to witness. Once she realized that she's allowed to want things, Darlene made it clear that she absolutely loves 1) attention and 2) food. If her foster mom is petting one of the other dogs, she will sprint over like the annoying little sibling who must IMMEDIATELY be included. She is pretty much game to do anything along as she's doing it with a person! Darlene is still polishing up her house manners as she settles in and builds routine. She enjoys going for leash walks; she's less of a fan of car rides. She sees and hears well and can go up and down stairs with no problem. She has started learning some tricks, as she is very treat motivated, and loves chasing balls. She especially loves snuffle mats filled with hidden treats - she'll search and sniff with focus and confidence until she's found every last one. She will sometimes try to nosh on things that aren't exactly food (e.g., socks) so it's good to keep an eye on her. Darlene does not like to be alone, which is understandable considering what she has been through. She has started medication to help manage her separation anxiety, and will need a patient forever family committed to helping her work through it. Darlene is hoping to find a home with people who are home a lot, love to snuggle and play with her, and will take her on lots of walks and fun adventures. She'll do best in a home without young children and with at least one other dog to help her continue building her confidence. She thrives with structure and a predictable routine and will do best in a home that's generally calm and quiet. She'd also love to have a fenced in yard to explore! Darlene is blossoming in her own tiny, hilarious, stubborn, determined way. If you can be the one to make her next chapter is her best chapter, apply to meet her today! Darlene is approximately 6 years old and 10 lbs. Fostered in Warrenton, VA Please apply at MirisHaven.org

IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS LISTING ON PETFINDER OR ADOPT-A-PET, please visit: Caninesandkittiesrescue.org to access adoption requirements, more information and pictures. Meet Perry! Perry is about 2 years old and weighs about 10 lbs. We believe he looks like a Shih Tzu/Maltese Mix - JUST A GUESS. Perry is perfection:) He is a very sweet and gentle dog who loves all people and gets along great with other dogs. Perry is not in a foster home with children, but we feel he would be fine with dog savvy children over the age of 5 years. Perry enjoys sniffing around the backyard with the resident dogs in his foster home. He also enjoys a pup cup from time to time. Perry is such a sweet companion who enjoys being with his people. Perry will require an adopter who is a home a good portion of the day as this is what he is used to in his foster home. Perry is neutered, he is up to date on vaccines and microchipped. The Adoption Fee is $375.00. ***You must be at least 25 years of age to adopt from CKRescue*** ***Please note that our first step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important to us, thus we will be speaking with the vet(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Our organization cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and/or the general appearance of the animal. **Please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**
