Story
Meet Petey, the pint-sized, no-eyed wonder dog with a big heart and an even bigger appetite for love! This resilient little guy has overcome more challenges than most superheroes, starting with having to say goodbye to his eyes (they had holes—can you believe it?). Now, he sees the world in his own unique way: with his nose! Petey is a certified lap champion who doubles as your personal snuggle therapist. He’s portable, lovable, and totally cool with being carried everywhere like the royalty he is. His favorite pastime? Going on “sniffaris” in his stroller, where he can explore all the scents of the world without lifting a paw. Petey’s the definition of low-maintenance. He’s quiet, polite, and gets along fabulously with other dogs, cats, and calm kids. His dream home is one with plenty of lap time and a human who’s around to spoil him with affection. If you’re ready for a sweet, snuggly, stroller-riding companion, Petey is your guy—because every hero deserves a happily-ever-after! Fostered in Frederick, MD Apply to adopt at MirisHaven.org

Story
Polo is such a rambunctious, happy fellow serving major puppy energy at age 8. It's great to see him explore the new digs in his foster home with his tail constantly wagging. What luck, he must be thinking! Polo loves his toys and puzzles, knows how to give himself a good back rub, is mischievous, and adores attention. He enjoys a long pack walk, does great on the leash, and rides well in the car. While he's happy to live with other dogs, he likes having special one-on-one time with his humans and prefers to dine in a private room at mealtime (total VIP move). Here's a Top 10 list from Polo's foster family: - Has a PhD in cuddling and uses his humans as personal couches - Has put in a formal request to receive belly rubs whenever possible - Loves being the center of attention and stealing pats intended for his foster brother Wetzel - Cheers you on while you prep his food (mealtime is his favorite time) - Has special expertise in excavating tissues from open trash cans - Sleeps well through the night in a cozy donut bed - Is a bit hesitant about stairs but does them well - Loves little stuffies, big stuffies (really all the stuffies) and puzzles - Sleeps calmly by the front door when home alone - Is quickly learning his housetraining skills and happy wearing a belly band in the meantime. Looking for an energetic, adoring, and entertaining velcro dog? Look no further than Polo! Polo is 8 years old and 13 lbs. Fostered in Washington, DC please apply at mirishaven.org

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Thank you for your interest in a Home At Last Sanctuary, Inc. animal.  STOP!!! READ!! The ENTIRE DESCRIPTION before you inquire. Do not call, email, txt, send an inquiry through any other website complete our online application FIRST. http://hals.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=3016 Visit our official website(s) here HomeAtLastSanctuary.ORG or HALS.RescueGroups.ORG There is a complete our application only. Newton has been adopted. We keep his profile active for a short period to make sure we made the right match. WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS. We estimate Newton almost three years old.  He is 25 pounds, neutered, up-to-date in vaccinations.  We do not know much about his past before he was picked up as a stray dog by Baltimore County shelter.  He was extremely and painfully matted, not neutered, and had an amical hernia.  It was necessary to shave his matting off under sedation so this was done when he was neutered and had his amical hernia repaired.  In the shelter he was very scared and still had not forgotten the pain he suffered from his matted coat.  His coat requires regular grooming to prevent getting matted again.  He is extremely fearful of grooming.  We have been working with him in his foster home and he is getting better.  He will require a family that understands his past trauma and has experience with dogs to help him fully recover.  Newton would like to have a home with a yard where he can spend some time running around.    Newton would not do well in apartment/Condo life.  He needs to have a house with a yard. He seems to be energetic and active and a bit mouthy so he would not do well with young children. Newton is an active, happy, playful dog that gets along well with his new foster brothers.  He is an amazingly affectionate dog. He seems to want to and will climb into your lap to be close to you.  He like to be in touch with his people either on the lap, next to and touching on the couch, and very close in bed at night with his warm body. We had an animal communicator do a reading on Newton.  What we think from this encounter that Newton is missing his family.  We think something happened to his owner and a caregiver may have let Newton go astray.  His condition would indicate that he was long overdue for required grooming.  WHEN AN APPLICATION TO ADOPT IS APPROVED WE BRING NEWTON TO THE HOME VISIT AND MEET AND GREET, AND IF ANOTHER ANIMAL A SNIFF TEST.  WE DO NOT PLACE DOGS ON THIS VISIT. WE RETURN IF THERE WILL BE AN ADOPTION WHEN EVERYONE IS PREPARED TO ADOPT .  WE ONLY TRAVEL UP TO A ONE HOUR DRIVE FROM ROCKVILLE MD TO PLACE ANIMALS.
