Story
Meet Roxanne! This beautiful, loving and affectionate meatball has been with us for two years now without a forever home to call her own. Roxanne was picked up as a stray in rough shape but has blossomed into a gorgeous and healthy girl during her time with Miri's. She loves every person she meets and her favorite thing to do is climb into someone's lap and gaze endlessly into their eyes. Oh, and butt rubs - Roxanne LOVES butt rubs. She's also big into cozy blankets and surprise late night zoomies. Roxanne prefers to have people with her as much as possible so she can give them all the snuggles all the time. She'll do best in a home with a family that's home most (or all) of the time with her - she definitely gets FOMO when left home alone (don't we all?!). She's happy to provide the background music in your house with her symphonic grunting and snoring (bonus: her tongue is not very good at staying in her mouth while she sleeps). Roxanne is so sweet, so cuddly, and just wants a family to give her attention, love, and her allergy medication. Her foster family describes her as one of the gentlest dogs they have ever met. She's fairly low energy but enjoys going for a few nice strolls a day. She'd love a home with a fenced in yard to explore at her leisure, and needs to be the only pet in her household. She thrives on structure and routine, and her ideal home will be generally calm and quiet most of the time. We are so hopeful we can see Roxanne off to her happily ever after. She deserves the world but hasn’t gotten a fair deal in the past. If you are looking for a cuddle bug with a squishy face, Roxanne's been waiting for you! Roxane is approx 10 years old and 50 lbs Fostered in Brunswick, MD Please apply at MirisHaven.org

Story
RAYNA (watch my video!) Female, spayed 8 years old Pit Bull Terrier 72 lbs. Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines and takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention Good with sheep (yes, you read that right!), curious about chickens, not tested with cats or kids, not good with dogs at this time   Meet Rayna – A True Survivor with Endless Love to Give &#226&#128&#168 Rayna has been through more in her 8 years than any dog ever should, but you’d never know it now. When LOVEPAWS rescued her, it was clear she’d had a hard-knock life. Likely bred for years, she arrived with itchy, inflamed skin and ears, broken teeth, and lumps and bumps in all of the wrong places. This poor girl truly looked miserable. But Rayna is nothing if not a fighter. Thanks to excellent veterinary care, every concerning mass was removed with clean margins or turned out to be benign, and she finally got the dental work she deserved. Her ears and skin healed beautifully, and though she’ll need to stay on a special diet and medication to manage her allergies (common for her breed), she is now thriving — feeling like a whole new woman. These days, Rayna is soaking up the good life on her foster’s farm. She loves sunbathing (because a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do to look her best), keeping watch over the property (naturally, she’s the Queen B ), and even making friends with the sheep (though she admits she’s a little jealous of their curly coats). She’s happiest in the peace and quiet of the country and would thrive in a forever home away from the hustle and bustle of city life. She’s still fine-tuning her potty training and leash manners, but hey — even Beyoncé had to rehearse before hitting the big stage. Her off-duty uniform? Adorable jammies. Her full-time job? Gazing into your soul until you fall in love (spoiler: it works every time). Gentle, affectionate, and deeply people-oriented, Rayna bonds quickly and assumes you’ll rearrange your schedule (and couch space) around her cuddle needs — which, let’s be honest, you will. Don’t let her age fool you — Rayna is playful, silly, and sometimes downright goofy. She adores toys, chewies, and especially her beloved red tumbler ball (she just can’t get enough of it!). The quickest way to her heart? A tasty snack. And if that’s not on the menu, she’ll happily settle for snuggles… preferably in bulk. Rayna would love to be your one and only, because sharing is overrated. Sudden flailing arms or loud shrieks? Not her favorite, so older children would be a better fit. But she’s learning fast that life doesn’t have to be scary… as long as you promise steady love and the occasional treat bribe to seal the deal. After too many years being tossed aside like yesterday’s laundry, Rayna truly deserves to be spoiled, fawned over, and adored — the diva of every couch, sunbeam, and heart she claims. She’s battled hard for a second chance at life… now she just needs a loving human to fight for her too, by giving her the forever home she’s been dreaming of (throne optional, belly rubs mandatory Interested in adopting?

Story
Surge is a handsome, happy-go-lucky boy who puts his whole heart into having fun. His absolute favorite place in the world is The Green, especially the big toy box. He’ll hop right in, pick out the perfect toy, then proudly parade around with it. His all-time favorite? A giant blue ball. If he could, he’d play with it 24/7 — it’s his pride, joy, and best buddy all in one!This sweet boy is smart, observant, and wonderfully curious, always taking in the world around him. He’s also incredibly friendly, outgoing, and delightfully goofy, the kind of dog who makes people smile without even trying. Surge is a volunteer favorite for good reason — he takes treats gently, enjoys the fresh air, and absolutely loves hanging out with his favorite humans.If you’re looking for a fun, lovable companion who will brighten every single day, Surge is your boy. Come meet him and see why everyone adores this sweet, silly, toy-obsessed gentleman!

Whether it’s running around outside or cuddling up with you after an exciting day, Kobe is always up for fun and affection.

If you're looking for a dog who is eager to share his love, adventures, and positive energy, Kobe might just be the perfect addition to your home!Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
~5 1/2 years old, 70 pounds Personality: snuggler, playful, easygoing, outgoing, loyal, energetic, affectionate, adventurous, mischievous, and adaptable. Meet Rocco - a guy who will (a) never say no to a walk, (b) happily greets people (c) is good with kids, and (d) shockingly enjoys spending time in his den/crate when you aren't around! When we say we aren't sure why Rocco hasn't been adopted after being with us for over a year, we really mean it! Rocco is truly a wonderful canine companion. One thing we love most about Rocco is his adaptable nature. He is happy to match your energy level, whether you're seeking a playful companion or a laid-back snuggle buddy. Time for a walk or play session - he's down to clown. Wanna snuggle up and watch a Rom-Com? He's all yours. Did I mention he's great with kids? That really cannot be overlooked! In addition to Rocco being house trained and crate trained, he already knows the words "off," “no,” "sit," and "crate". Rocco loves his chew toys, will love walks with you, and wants nothing more than to finally settle into his forever family. While Rocco has canine friends (from a Great Dane to a Toy Poodle) he has been known to be a little choosy with dogs, so our volunteers will work closely with potential adopters to help match him with a canine pal. If you're ready to meet your best friend, he just might be the match for you. Apply today to meet Rocco! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC.

Meet Ordelia (A534493)!Ordelia is a gentle, thoughtful pup who is still learning how to feel confident in new situations. She can be a little nervous at first, but she warms up quickly—especially if you have a few tasty treats to share. She takes them gently and appreciates kind words and soft pets.On walks, Ordelia does beautifully—she’s easy to leash, curious about her surroundings, and enjoys quietly observing the world around her. While she’s still figuring out dog-to-dog interactions, she’s tolerant and would likely do best with calm, respectful canine friends or as the only dog where she can blossom at her own pace.This sweet girl is looking for a patient and loving adopter who will give her the time and reassurance she needs to truly shine. With trust and kindness, Ordelia is sure to become a devoted companion.
