Skip hot girl yoga. Try old-ass dog yoga. 🧘‍♀️

Pilates is temporary. Bodywork is fleeting. Senior Chihuahuas are LITERALLY forever.

Join us on September 13 for an afternoon of stretching, sipping mocktails, and hanging out with the cutest little retirees you’ve ever met. 🍸 Our senior dogs will be wandering around the room offering emotional support, unsolicited kisses, and zero corrections to your yoga form.

For $30, you’ll get:
✨ A one hour yoga class
🍹 Mocktails afterward
🐶 Unlimited interactions with ancient dogs
💜 The satisfaction of knowing every dollar helps save more senior dogs who deserve a second chance.

No yoga experience required. If you can sit on the floor and tell a 14 year old Chihuahua {Maude} she’s the prettiest girl in the world, you’re already qualified. 🏆

Friends. The best part of fostering is this exact moment. ✨

Two days ago, Gemma arrived to a new foster home and wanted absolutely nothing to do with foster mom or her cozy bed. She’d lift Gemma up, and Gemma would look at her like she made a terrible decision on her behalf, immediately hop down, and march straight into her crate to sleep.

Fast forward to today… 📆

She greeted foster mama at the door like they’d been separated for seventeen years, sprinted into her crate the second dinner was served {a woman with priorities}, and then completely shocked us all by launching herself onto the bed. We genuinely didn’t think she could jump that high. 😂

She flopped over for belly rubs, scooted in close, and fell asleep curled up beside foster mom. 😴

This is the moment every foster family hopes to witness. The moment when they stop surviving and start settling in. When the worry starts to melt away and they realize they’re safe, loved, and finally in a peaceful home.

Now Gemma just needs one more thing: her own furever family. 🙏🏽

If you’re looking for a sweet, silly little pup who’s discovering just how high a little rascal can jump, rat terrier Gemma is ready to show you her tricks and plenty more surprises. 🎁

🐾 Adoptable Danny Looking for Love 🐾

Danny has settled into the new home his foster family moved to. He breezed in carrying the confidence of a proud homeowner who hasn’t felt that first mortgage payment yet. 🏠

His favorite spot is the front window, where he keeps a close eye on the neighbors while listening to his record player. {They did have to move the record player, though. There was simply too much Danny drool landing on it to risk the vinyl collection.} 🎶

He also gave the new house his official stamp of approval by throwing himself into the grass on one of his first walks. And after just a bit of encouragement, he figured out the stairs. Now he’d happily spend all day rotating between the upstairs window and the downstairs window, supervising the neighborhood from multiple vantage points. {Who needs a neighborhood watch when Danny does it all?} 👀

It’s hard to believe this is the same red dog we picked up in Georgia back in January. Back then, everything new scared him. He could barely make it through a 10 minute walk before limping. ❤️‍🩹

Now he’s brave, gentle, super silly, and insists on 30-45 minute walkies. He’s clearly making up for lost time. His giant satellite dish ear is still fighting a stubborn infection. He once whimpered if you touched it, but now he sits patiently for cleanings and medication because he’s learned about trust.

Watching a senior dog discover that the world can be kind never, ever gets old.

One mystery remains, though. Every single time the foster hooman puts his leash on, Danny heads directly for the front window instead of the door. The door has not moved. It’s still two steps to the right.

We may never know what he knows. 🤷🏼‍♀️

🎉 ADOPTION DAY! 🎉

There are few things sweeter than a first time foster family coming forward to help save an old dog. Before we can welcome most dogs from shelters, we must have a robust foster system ready to welcome a new pup, so these volunteers are critical to our entire mission. 🐶

Our very first foster experience with this new family is officially in the books, and it was a wonderful success… because yesterday, Elsie the dachshund found her furever home! 🎉

This lucky short lady will be continuing her city girl lifestyle, spending her days sunbathing in her new condo, soaking up every ounce of attention her new hooman may or may not be willing to offer. She will be entering the peaceful, pampered retirement every senior dog dreams of. 💭✨

Watching pups like premium sweetie Elsie get a second chance at the comfy cozy life of luxury they deserve just never gets old. 🥹 Congratulations, to this sweet girl we fell for immediately. We loved being part of your story, and we can’t wait to watch this next Elsie era unfold. Happy tails! 💟

⭐️ Join our alumni group to keep up with all the pups you’ve come to know and love. We post their journeys for everyone to be a part of. ⭐️

🎰 Sibling Jackpot! 🎰

We are so happy to share some good news for all the fans and frens.

Shiloh is officially adopted! 🎉💟

This sweet boy had many applications that just didn’t work out, and then finally we found a family that just felt like *his*. And when we met them, we knew it was worth the wait. 📅

Now Shiloh has a furever home and a new fur sister named Freya. These two are for sure going to get into all kinds of adventures together. 🐕 🐕

It’s always bittersweet to say goodbye to a dog we’ve loved so much, but this is the beautiful part of rescue. Every goodbye means a dog gets the happy ending they deserve, and we have space to save another. 🙏🏽

Congratulations, sweet Shiloh. We love you so much, and we couldn’t be happier for you. Thank you to everyone who followed his journey, shared his story, and cheered him on. Have the most wonderful life, bub! 🏡

Rosie is a 14 year old Beagle who has absolutely earned the right to do things on Rosie time. ⏰

She’s a very chatty senior Beagle who approaches life with a simple philosophy: take your time, enjoy the sunshine, stop and smell EVERYTHING, and never rush a good nap. Whether she's wandering through the yard with her snoot to the ground, stretched out in a sunny spot, or curled up beside her people with her head resting in a cozy lap, Rosie is happiest when life is peaceful and unhurried. 💕

Her foster describes her as gentle, affectionate, friendly, stubborn, and spunky which feels exactly right for a senior Beagle who still has plenty of things to tell you about. One of Rosie's most charming qualities is her signature Beagle yell. If dinner is taking too long or another dog is acting a fool, she'll let out a dramatic little bay to make sure her displeasure is known.

Rosie is wonderful with cats, does well with respectful dogs, and is perfectly content spending her days as a beloved family companion.

Because Rosie has some arthritis and a mild heart murmur, she's looking for a home that will help her stay comfortable as she ages. Stairs can be tricky for her, and she has had some falls, so a single level home or one where stair access can be limited would be ideal. She also needs frequent potty breaks and enjoys taking her time outdoors, making a fenced yard a wonderful perk. Give Rosie a sunny patch of grass and plenty of time to sniff around, and she'll be in her happy place. 👃🌼

Side note: if you happen to hear some freight train level snoring from across the room, don't worry. That's just Rosie, sleeping soundly and dreaming about her next snack.

✨ Eliza’s Gift ✨

Miss Eliza received the most beautiful handmade prayer blanket from our amazing friends at the Fur Angel Blessing Blanketeers, stitched with love just for her. They also included a brand new toy and the sweetest handwritten note. Eliza’s first priority was the new baby toy. 🧸

Eliza has the energy of Elle Woods’ Bruiser. Ready to be perfectly accessorized and matching her hooman’s outfit. Looking utterly adorable with a head full of bubble gum and elevator music. 🎶 ✨ 💕

This precious blanket is all hers now ~ a soft space all her own to curl up, nap, and recharge between important activities like looking lovely and snoozing while looking lovely. 🥰

We know Eliza’s hooman would be so happy to see how many people have wrapped her in love in their absence. It takes a special soul to make something by hand for a dog they’ve never met, and we never stop being amazed by the hearts in the rescue community.

Thank you all for making our little princess feel every bit as cherished as she deserves. 💜💗🤍

Gigi didn’t expect this car ride to be her last with her hooman. She just didn’t know the last few moments were goodbye forever. 💔

A few days ago, sweet Gigi arrived at the Haven unexpectedly. We had been working behind the scenes to arrange transport after her owner reached out for help, but instead she showed up at our door with Gigi herself.

10 year old Gigi was adopted from a shelter many years ago and spent the last few years being a beloved family dog. She has lived with children, other animals, and has always been the sweetest girl. But life brought countless changes that made caring for a senior dog more than her family could manage any longer.

Recently, Gigi has begun urinating very frequently and hasn’t received the veterinary care she desperately needs, so getting answers ~ and getting her comfortable again ~ is now one of our biggest priorities.

For Gigi, none of this makes much sense.

One day she was home. The next she was surrounded by unfamiliar faces, trying to figure out where her family went. She’s been understandably shy as she settles in, but every so often that famous Beagle snoot takes over, and off she goes, carefully inspecting every inch of the yard as if she might sniff her way back to something familiar.

We can’t explain to Gigi why her world changed overnight. But what we can do is make sure the next chapter is filled with loads of kindness, exceptional medical care, and loving folks who won’t give up on her.

If you’d like to help change Gigi’s life for the better, she needs to see the dogtor, have bloodwork and other diagnostics as we try to uncover the cause of her urinary issues. If you can share, comment, or give below we know Gigi will be so grateful for your support. Every dollar helps us give Gigi the fresh start she deserves.

Welcome to Miri’s Haven, sweet girl. We’re so glad you’re here. 💟
