Story

Meet little miss Capri! This curly-coated fluffy gal loves to be right by your side, jumping on your lap to curl up and snuggle. Perhaps the only thing she loves more than attention is food: she`ll snack on anything edible she can sniff out! When she`s not snuggling or snacking, she can be found playing with her squeaky toys and going for sniffy walks. Interested in adopting Capri? Come visit her today from 11 am - 5:30 pm!Are you viewing my information on a third party site like Petfinder.com? Make sure you stop by www.loudoun.gov/animals to see the most up-to-date information about me! I might already have an adoption pending!

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Tyra arrived at the Haven very confused and scared, with no idea as to why she lost her family and wound up in a shelter. With time, patience, and love, she has blossomed into a delight. She has gone on adventures with her foster family, demonstrating that she is great in the car, very serious about her sniffing responsibilities, and happy to enjoy whatever treats she finds along the way. Tyra walks well on the leash and enjoys going for her daily constitutionals. She's also happy to sniff around in the yard. She is good with dogs around her own size, but finds larger dogs overwhelming. Feline dogs are not acceptable companions. She is working on remembering her housetraining skills but making great progress. She is fine left home alone and sleeps peacefully through the night. Tyra has dry eye, very common for the breed, so she is on eye drops to help her be more comfortable. Her vision and hearing are no longer 100% but she is still plenty capable. She's good going for walks or traversing the stairs. She loves to snuggle and has very reasonable exercise needs. Tyra loves going for walks, car rides, trips to buy treats, cuddling with her human on the couch or in bed. She has one ear that goes flippy-flop. If cuddling up with this sweet girl sounds appealing to you, apply today! Tyra is approx 10 years old and 18 lbs. Fostered in Erie PA. Please apply at mirishaven.org.

Story

Meet Jingles! Jingles has perfected the art of enjoying life's little luxuries. A good nap, a leisurely stroll, a car ride, a tasty snack, and supervising human bathroom breaks? His idea of a perfect day. Jingles lost the only home he'd ever known when his beloved owner passed away. In the years leading up to that loss, his owner's declining health made it increasingly difficult to keep up with Jingles' care. By the time he came to Miri's Haven, he was underweight, struggling with chronic skin allergies and dry eyes, and in need of a fresh start. Today, thanks to the care he's received at Miri's Haven, his skin has healed, the itchiness is gone, he's gaining weight, and he's discovering just how good life can be. Everyone says the same thing when they meet Jingles: "Look at those eyes." His big, soulful eyes have a way of winning people over instantly. Jingles is sweet, quiet, and wonderfully content just being near his people, not necessarily in your lap, but always close enough to keep you company. He walks beautifully on leash and is happiest wandering around the yard, riding shotgun in the car, going for stroller rides once his little legs get tired, or tagging along on adventures. He even checked into a hotel recently and immediately embarked on the sniffari to end all sniffaris, carefully investigating every square inch of the room before deciding the accommodations were acceptable. Once his inspection was complete, he settled in like the perfect little gentleman and happily greeted every visitor who stopped by. Of course, Jingles isn't all distinguished gentleman. He firmly believes that no one should have to use the bathroom alone, so expect an adorable little escort every time you head that way. One of his favorite games is "get your feet," where he playfully nibbles at your toes, and according to Jingles, his tiger bed is quite possibly the greatest invention of all time. It's been incredible to watch his personality emerge now that he knows safety, comfort, and love are finally here to stay. Jingles is looking for a calm home with at least one other friendly dog and a fenced yard where he can safely explore. He's low-energy, sleeps through the night, rides beautifully in the car, and is happy to relax while you're away. He wears a belly band because he occasionally has accidents indoors. To keep him feeling his best, he'll need lifelong eye drops, daily probiotic supplements to help keep his skin healthy, and a diet free of chicken and grains due to his allergies. He also has some vision loss and needs to be carried up stairs, but none of it stops him from enjoying life's simple pleasures. More than anything, Jingles wants a family that appreciates the simple things right alongside him. Someone who will happily take him for a drive, let him tag along on quiet adventures, laugh when he insists on supervising bathroom breaks, and understand that the very best days usually end with a cozy nap. After 15 years, we think he's earned exactly that. Jingles is approximately 15 years old and 9 lbs. Fostered in Romney, WV Please apply at MirisHaven.org

Story

This jaunty little man definitely marches to the beat of his own drum! 💕 Scrappy is the kind of dog who only has eyes for one person—and to his chosen person, he will give his whole heart. To the lucky person who adopts him, Scrappy will be the most devoted, snuggly, cuddly, go-everywhere little love bug you could ever wish for. Everyone else? Well… he’ll tolerate you. 😂 He’s a one-person kind of guy, and once he chooses you, you are *his person*! Scrappy is wonderful with other dogs and loves to cuddle and snuggle with them, too\. That said, when it comes to his person, he will grudgingly share—but he may also try to boss everyone around and make sure he gets the prime cuddle position\! At just 15 pounds, he’s easy to redirect, and he takes corrections from other dogs very well. It doesn’t mean he won’t keep trying, though!😂 His perfect home would be with a dog-savvy person who is looking for a constant companion—someone to keep them company, share their days, and have a little shadow following them everywhere. Scrappy is house-trained, doesn’t chew or destroy things, and when you’re busy and can’t give him your full attention, he’s perfectly happy to curl up at your feet, on your lap, or somewhere nearby. He’s a wonderful little dog with a huge personality and an even bigger heart. He’s just a **one-person dude** looking for his person. ❤️ Scrappy is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all his vaccines. All he needs now is his person. **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 gpeace@petconnectrescue.org

Fred

Shih Tzu Silky Terrier

Male, 1 yr 7 mos

Frederick, MD

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Current Location: Nottingham, MD Meet Fred 💛 Fred is a tender, young Shih Tzu mix who is learning what life can be like when it’s safe, quiet, and kind. He came from a hoarding situation, so the world is still a very big and sometimes scary place—but every day, Fred shows small, brave signs of trust that speak volumes about the loving dog he’s becoming. He’s not ready for hands yet, and sudden movements send him scurrying for cover, but if you sit quietly or go about your day, Fred may sneak close, sniff curiously, and—if he’s feeling extra courageous—offer a quick lick before retreating again. Those tiny moments are huge victories for a dog who has learned that survival sometimes means staying invisible. What truly makes Fred shine is his love for other dogs. He bonded quickly and deeply with his calm, patient foster brother Guinness, who has become his emotional anchor and favorite companion. Fred feels safest with a steady canine friend by his side and will need a similar dog in his future home to help him build confidence. With the right buddy, Fred shows glimpses of joy—howling in protest when separated, scattering toys and chews around the house, stealing socks, and getting the “rips” as he dashes around trying to spark a game of chase. While higher‑energy dogs still feel overwhelming, his curiosity is growing, and he’s watching the world a little more closely every day. Fred is still very much a work in progress and will need a patient, dog‑savvy home committed to moving at his pace. He’s a flight risk and not ready for outdoor adventures yet, and grooming and handling will take time and trust. He’s learning to use potty pads again, loves toys and natural chews, and rewards kindness with quiet companionship and gentle glances from across the room. Fred may not be the dog who runs up for cuddles—but for the right person, earning his trust will be an incredibly meaningful journey. If you believe love can be measured in small steps and soft victories, Fred just might be your kind of dog. 🐾
