Story
Meet Jinx! He has THE cutest permanent face of absolute concern. Jinx is fresh out of the shelter where he was left when his family had to move and couldn't take him with. He does well with kids and other dogs but isn't a huge fan of cats. He's crate trained, but can be a bit nervous when he hears loud noises or a rude individual tries to touch his treasured tail. And honestly, we would probably be the same way! Jinx is a sweet, energetic boy and we can't get over his big bug eyes. He will be getting neutered soon and then he will be ready to start his new life with a lucky furever family! Fostered in Rockville, MD Please apply at MirisHaven.org

Story
Tila has been through a lot: abandoned at a remote hunting cabin in 2023, adopted, then heartbreakingly returned to the shelter when his owner passed in 2024. However, he's settled into his foster home like a proper boss and is ready to find his forever family — for real this time! Tila's perfect forever family includes a top tier snuggle buddy, lots of outdoor adventures, and plenty of rides in the car — because nothing beats looking out the windows at the big world, knowing you’re not alone anymore AND you can also give people a piece of your mind from the comfort of your car seat! He would LOVE to have another dog in the house — especially a confident and playful one. He enjoys yard time, loves going on walks and adventures (he's great on the leash), and expects his meals to be served promptly. He’s using the pee pads, but he’s also rocking a belly band just in case. He's also happy to serve as your own personal tiny but mighty security system — no batteries required, just treats! When Tila first arrived, he had a firm policy regarding men: No. If you had a deep voice and a Y chromosome, Tila wanted absolutely nothing to do with you. His Foster Dad focused on winning him over the way all great men do — by offering snacks and respecting boundaries. And one day, against all odds, Tila walked up to Foster Dad, gave a long, dramatic sigh, and demanded to be pet immediately. Just like that, Tila went from “Don’t even look at me” to “Move over, I need your lap” in record time. Now, he lounges on Foster Dad like the tiny, benevolent king he is, having come to a shocking realization: Men have feelings too. And perhaps they need a little love as much as he does. This gentleman has an enormous heart and is searching for a forever home where he can spend the rest of his life in comfort, love, and on a lap.

Story
Meet Luther! Luther was found strutting through the snow during a cold snap like some kind of mythical beast. The shelter scooped him up, gave him a full dental (leaving him one with snaggletooth, hence the glorious nickname Luther the Toofer™), and now he has officially retired to the lavish life of a foster dog.. He’s a senior gentleman who is 11 lbs of pure chonk. Vision and hearing? Questionable. Does he care? Nope! His overall vibe is regal yet aloof, but he loves to follow you from room to room. His foster mom describes him as a an absolute joy who is so sweet and funny. He does stairs well, eats just about anything, and takes his meds like a champ. He's also perfect in the car. He loves going on walks with his foster mom where his single, glorious toof can be out in full force for all to admire! He's even able to keep up with her big dog, no problem. If you’re looking for a little walking buddy with personality, perseverance, and one perfect big tooth ~ Luther is your guy! All Luther needs is a furever home where he and his toof can reign supreme. Come one, come all! Get those apps in for Luther and his adorable toofer!
