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
