Story
Harvey resembles a ripe peach. He is sweet, fuzzy, orange, and sort of round. He is a great companion: quiet, charming, and handsome. He has one wonky ear that points sideways, while the other points up. Harvey is an excellent car buddy, settling himself quietly on his booster seat and paying close attention to be sure that the his foster mom is following the GPS and driving safely. He is happy to snooze on a dog bed while his human works, watches TV, or sleeps. During meals, he stands quietly, not begging but just hoping for a lucky piece of chicken to fall. Harvey gets along with other dogs and does not try to steal anyone else's food or guard his own. He is curious about cats but not aggressive. Harvey likes receiving pets and scratches and will respond with gentle kisses. He likes to have some lap time every day, but he isn't demanding about it. Five minutes or so at a time is sufficient. In terms of housetraining, he seems to understand that, in a perfect world, pottying should take place outside. That said, if no one is home (or not paying attention), he will do what he needs to do. Fortunately, he is potty pad trained (with excellent aim) and accepting of wearing belly bands when needed. If his human is home a lot and paying attention, he likely wouldn't need either. Harvey enjoys slow walks or sniffaris around the backyard (except in the rain). He likes to smell the wind and listen to the birds. He appears to have passing familiarity with commands such as come/let's go/follow me, as well as leave it and no/nope. Harvey has an enlarged heart and a heart murmur which will require ongoing medication and periodic vet visits. He has a bit of a related cough, for which he also takes medication, which seems to help. Harvey has cataracts that render him mostly blind. He does not let that stop him from getting around. He wanders confidently around the house and in the yard. He is very good about following a voice to get around and also enjoys exploring on his own. He can go up a small number of stairs, but would prefer to have help going down. He does not love being picked up but will tolerate it for reasonable periods of time if it helps him get where he needs to go. Harvey is a delight to have around. If you're looking for a quiet, orange shadow, come meet him soon! Harvey is approx 9 years old and 12 lbs. fostered in Falls Church, VA please apply at mirishaven.org

Story
Monkey is a 3½-year-old neutered male Pomeranian mix. He weighs 15 pounds, is very active, loves dogs and people, tries to play with dog-savvy cats, and he has only one eye. Monkey came into foster care about 4 months ago, after his much-loved owner passed away. His foster mom calls him Monkey because he is always on the move and getting into things. He is a bundle of energy. If you’ve ever lived with a Pomeranian, then you’ll know that they rarely stop moving. They run, they jump, they spin, they bark, they try to engage other dogs, and sometimes they’ll try to play with inanimate objects. They are very interactive. During TV time, Monkey will launch himself into his foster mom’s lap, regardless of how many other dogs and cats are already there. He will lie back, enjoy the hugging and kissing, and then he’ll jump down and look for new adventures. His foster mom has learned to listen for unusual sounds in the house, which could indicate concerns such as unauthorized chewing (paper products, including napkins, tissues, and cardboard labels). Monkey is not yet reliably housetrained, but he has made great progress. He recently transitioned from sleeping in a bedroom crate to sleeping on a dog bed, with no overnight accidents. He will need continued training, and the best approach currently is to give him frequent opportunities to go outside. For backup, Monkey will normally use a puppy pee pad if one is available. Monkey is perhaps 98% housetrained and rarely uses the puppy pad now. Monkey is an omnivore who enjoys a variety of foods and has shown no bad reactions to anything, including kibble, raw fish, dehydrated or canned pet foods, and fresh fruits and veggies. Monkey has been enjoying a large, fenced yard, which he loves to explore. Previously, he was walked for only short periods in a retirement community, and he didn’t get out much. He now willingly goes for long walks on leash; however, he still needs work on loose-leash walking. Monkey has a long, double coat. He will need to be professionally groomed every 6–8 weeks, unless his adopter is an avid groomer. Ideally, he would be combed several times per week, with nails trimmed at least once per month. His foster’s groomers say that he is a great grooming customer. Monkey’s first owner did not use a crate. However, his foster mom has found that being crated in his own crate is an excellent option, as long as crating is accompanied by a wonderful treat. Monkey is an adorable small dog, but does have anxiety. When he arrived, he was on two behavioral medicines. Now he’s down to one for anxiety. His vet feels he could potentially be weaned off that one, as well. Monkey loves to play with dogs of all sizes and would do best with another canine buddy. In spite of his size, he needs plenty of exercise, whether running in a securely fenced yard or taking his people on long walks. Long periods of alone time may result in nuisance barking or other undesirable behaviors. He craves human companionship, so he would be happiest with a family that is home most of the day. Monkey wants to play with his foster mom’s cats, who ignore him. He would do well with polite kids 5 years old and up with adult supervision. Monkey has so much personality and a great sense of humor. If you give him time, love, devotion (and a splash of patience), he will be your best friend ever.

Story
6 years old, 12.5 pounds Personality: Gentle, protective, playful, affectionate, energetic, loyal, calm, sweet, snuggly. Meet Pixie, a tiny Pomeranian with a big personality and an even bigger heart, who will melt in your arms and give the sweetest and tiniest kisses. Pixie adores cuddling up somewhere warm and cozy, usually on top of a pillow, blanket or a plushy dog bed. She enjoys being brushed, as well as being gently toweled dry after getting wet in the rain. She delights in being outdoors and will spend hours in the yard, chasing away the birds and squirrels. You like to throw balls? Pixie loves to chase them! This little lady enjoys meeting new people, and she’ll get very excited when you have visitors, always making sure that everyone receives a warm welcome. She’s gentle with children, too. Pixie is housetrained and is trusted to be uncrated while home alone. She is also making wonderful progress with managing her excitement while on a leash, learning not to lunge or bark when cars go by. Pixie has been an excellent mama to her five puppies. Now that she's done raising them, she is ready to be the star in a loving home of her own, preferably with a nice, securely fenced yard to do her little exploring in. If you’re looking to add a small, snuggly companion to your life, Pixie is your gal.

Story
Please contact Diane Pedulla (dianep@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.7-year old ladies man looking for a forever homeFISH NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!   Come meet Fish and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (3/8) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Rockville (5154 Nicholson Ln, Kensington, MD 20895)!   Name:   Fish         Best Guess for Breed:   Pomeranian / Corgi mix    Best Guess for Age:   7 years as of February 2026      SEX:   male   Approximate Weight:  28 lbs as of February 2026; he needs to lose a few   Gets Along With:  other dogs. Fish lived with a cat that he sometimes tried to chase. He cannot go to a home with kids under age 12.   Currently Living at:  DC area foster home   Special Adoption Considerations: Fish needs an experienced owner and cannot go to a home with kids under age 12. He is more comfortable with women than his is with men.   Fish is Looking For:   This adorable Pomeranian–Corgi mix is the perfect blend of small‑dog sweetness and big‑dog personality. At 7 years old, he’s past the puppy chaos but still full of curiosity, expression, and joy. He loves being near his people, greeting each day with a wagging tail and a hopeful look that says, “What are we doing next?”   Fish would love a home that offers a calm, predictable environment. He wants a companion who will provide him with a predictable routine and handle him respectfully. Fish may be short but he has big feelings. Soft beds, cozy blankets, and a warm lap or nearby spot to snooze will quickly win him over. What My Foster Says About Me:  Fish wants a Mommy! Outside on walks Fish gets along with everyone but at home, this low rider will quickly choose a woman to be his person. Fish needs an experienced owner who has the time and patience to help him adjust to a new environment. 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.

Story
Current Location: Eldersburg, MD Hello this is Benny - This pup is an old sweetheart. He has no teeth and his hair is thinning but he can still get around in the yard and is eating well. He can see & hear well enough and he likes other dogs. He will sniff them and wag his tail but he doesn't really interact after that. He loves to be held and will do a soft voiced bark when he wants your attention. When you approach him, he will turn around and wait to be picked up. He is super cute and super easy. He just needs a comfortable home to retire in and spend his days napping and being loved. His fee has been reduced to $50 so give a senior a safe haven and adopt today
