Story
Meet Sabrina! This sweet, gorgeous girl is as bewitching as her namesake. Sabrina was found as a stray on a bitterly cold day and made her way to Miri's Haven. Initially reserved and a bit fearful, she has completely blossomed in her foster home since realizing that she's finally safe and deeply loved. She now comes over to join her foster family for snuggles on the couch, puts her face in their faces so she can gaze into their eyes, and even lets them hold her. Huge steps for a girl who we suspect has not been treated kindly in the past. Sabrina has perfect manners - she's completely housetrained and crate trained, and sleeps peacefully through the night. Sabrina would do equally well as an only dog or part of a pack. She's learned to enjoy playing with her canine foster sister (who is a great teacher), receiving pets, and snoozing on the couch. Sabrina likes calm, peaceful environments and gentle movements and approaches, so she would do best in a home without small children. She also gets cold easily so would love a house with lots of soft blankets and cozy dog sweaters! Sabrina is approximately 7 years old and 14 lbs.

We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:  DC area foster home   Special adoption considerations:   Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. Luna MUST to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog to show her the ropes.     See this sweetie and her sisters in this video! -  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_KbHsEMh7DI   Luna is Looking For: Hi! The three of us - Chloe, Layka, and Luna - have had a great time growing together in Puerto Rico. We look so alike that we've pulled off the switcheroo trick often! But now we're ready to split up and get our own humans in the DC area. This is what we are looking for: Sniffy walks, romps, all the adventures our families can dream up, and lots of snuggles! Coat maintenance is important to us too - daily brushing, please, to make sure we don't get all matted.    But you know what I want most of all? To be safe and loved, to know where I belong. In exchange I promise so many adoring gazes and love and loyal companionship for all my days. What do you say? Do I get to go home with you? What My Foster Says About Me: Luna is just the sweetest little muppet. She was a little nervous after the long journey from Puerto Rico but warmed up quickly! She walks confidently on a leash, even with all the new sights and sounds in the city. She loves giving kisses and will gladly accept endless belly rubs. She adores bully sticks, XXL dog beds, and sniffy walks with the resident pup. After exploring the neighborhood, she's happy to curl up for a long nap on the couch and does really well sleeping in her crate overnight. With a little extra patience as she continues to adjust to life in the DMV, she'll make an adorable companion for any family!  Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.

At her foster home she’s starting to learn a few commands and is very polite at meal time. She sits by the door as everyone gets ready to go on walks and loves to run around at dog park. Chloe has the making of a great snuggler. . Heartworm information: Chloe is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but has been treated! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. Chloe has completed this activity restriction period.   Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, heartworm information, and spay/neuter.

If everything works out, they will set an appointment with you so come out and "visit" with the dog you're interested in (we want to make sure that not only are you a good fit for the dog but that the dog will fit with you). If everything works out, you'll be able to take rover (or spot, or jax) home with you that very day. A couple of things you should know: We can't hold dogs over the phone or via email.

Story
McGraw (aka “The Audacity in a Fur Coat” ) McGraw is a 6-month-old Schnauzer mix who radiates confidence, charm, and pure audacity. He’s cute — offensively cute — which is fortunate, because he’s also a bit of a menace. Honestly, he’s lucky he’s handsome. It’s the only reason we haven’t sent him packing for his unapologetic antics. He’s brilliant, but not in a helpful way. You can expect a constant stream of feedback—he’s nothing if not expressive. He’ll let you know exactly how he feels about everything— sometimes through barking, sometimes through grumbling, and occasionally through what we’ll call “constructive growling.” Don’t worry, it’s mostly just his way of expressing that you’ve mildly inconvenienced him. He’s the type of dog who’ll steal your heart and your spot on the couch, then growl when you try to take it back. He does well with kids, cats, and other dogs — assuming everyone understands who’s in charge here (hint: it’s McGraw ). He’s crate trained, picking up house training, neutered, vaccinated, and running entirely on confidence and misplaced self-importance. He’ll make you laugh, cry, and question your life choices , often in the same hour. McGraw will require an adopter with either a lot of experience or the patience of a saint — preferably both. You’ll need a sense of humor, low blood pressure, and a good understanding of irony. If you enjoy sarcastic commentary, mildly toxic relationships, and being bossed around by someone under two feet tall, McGraw is your guy. Apply now, or don’t— his self esteem will remain unaffected.

These pups are in Baltimore, Maryland too!

Story
Meet Pixie — a tiny dynamo with a big personality! Pixie was found by a kind 97-year-old woman, and while we don’t know how long she lived on the streets, it’s clear this little girl has already overcome a lot. Pixie tested heartworm positive after being rescued and is bravely completing her treatment, which is expected to be finished in early February. Now about 2 years old, she’s looking ahead to a brighter future in a loving forever home. Pixie is a terrier–Chihuahua mix (we think!) who brings confidence, energy, and charm wherever she goes. She’s a high-energy, alpha female who knows what she likes and isn’t afraid to show it — a true “small but mighty” kind of girl. She does well with other dogs and currently lives in her foster home with three large dogs and two other small Chihuahuas. Pixie enjoys walks, doesn’t mind car rides, and once she feels comfortable, she’s perfectly happy entertaining herself with her chew toys. Like many confident little pups, Pixie is protective of her personal space and appreciates having a safe spot of her own. Her crate is her sanctuary, and she may guard her toys — so she’ll do best with an adopter who understands and respects boundaries. She can be vocal at times, as is typical of small dogs, and she makes a great little alert pup. Pixie is still working on potty training, and she’s very treat-motivated, which will help her continue learning and thriving. Pixie would do best with an experienced dog owner who appreciates a confident, spirited little companion with lots of personality. If you’re looking for a spunky, independent, and entertaining sidekick — Pixie might just be your girl. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
