Two-fer: Dogs of the Week are Best Buds

Max and Pancho are a team; they're looking for a home together.

St. Patrick’s Day may be over, but we sure are hoping some luck of the Irish will hang around!  Finding a fur-ever home can be hard. But, it’s even harder when you want to find a home with your best friend.  I’m Max (the beagle mix) and this is my buddy Pancho.   When we first came to Small Miracles, we were placed in separate pens. I missed Pancho so much that I began to lose weight. As soon as the humans realized this, they put us together so we could be happy again.   You see, there is no way I could ever be without my best buddy. Won’t you please consider adopting both of us? Come on, it would be twice the love and double the fun! Small Miracles is a nonprofit, no-kill cat and dog shelter in Ellicott City. Each week we will feature a …

Make This the Year of Triscuit: Dog of the Week

This guy is looking for fun, exercise and a family in 2013.

Hey, guys! I’m Triscuit! The new year is here and I think 2013 will be the best year ever.  I think this is the year I will get my fur-ever home. You will never meet another dog like me! I’m a shepherd and akita mix that makes me stunningly good looking and ridiculously playful! I love to fetch, but only with a rope -- I’m not a huge fan of balls. I’m a young guy and would love a family that is active like me. I’m a loyal, friendly, outgoing kind of guy. My personality is unforgettable; once you meet me you will see that my energy is contagious! Being a free spirit, I'm not particularly fond of crating, so I would do great with a family that will be social with me and has plenty of time to smother me in affection and play with me. I get …

Don't Forget the Mistletoe: Cat of the Week

Bring this cat home in time for the holidays.

Christmas is right around the corner and I’m sure many of you still have some shopping to do. Me? Of course not, I’m a cat – I don’t shop. I sit around and wait for you to bring me gifts.  Enough about me, lets talk about you. How many of you men out there are looking for that perfect gift for the lady in your life? I’m not talking a box of chocolates, I’m talking the kind of gift that will make her fall in love with you.   Have you considered mistletoe? Okay, so maybe mistletoe is a little desperate.  But what about a cat named Mistletoe?   I’m pretty sure an adorable young girl named Mistletoe like me will win her heart. I’m cute, friendly, and playful so I would be the purrfect gift.   Plus, nothing says commitment like getting a pet …

All-American Macy: Dog of the Week

Macy is sweet, kind and shy. And would be thankful for a home.

I'm Macy and I am an all-American, girl-next-door type of dog. I am sweet, kind, pretty, and a little shy.  It’s the season to be thankful and I’m so thankful that Small Miracles has worked so hard to give me a second chance.  I didn’t have a fair start to life and I am looking for that special family who will give me the chance I deserve. I’ve learned a lot while here.  I have learned to come when called and am now learning to sit. I’m learning to trust people more but I still prefer to be an only dog. Maybe one day that will change, but for now I just want to work on being the best family member I can be for my humans. My perfect fur-ever family will shower me with love, affection, praise and cookies.  In return, I promise to be the …

Scruffy Yet Precious: Dog of the Week

This pup's family was killed in a fire. Now Precious is ready to move on.

Hello! My name is Precious.   I know, I look like my name should be Scruffy but once you get to know me you will see why I am named Precious. I’m young and full of love. I give great doggy hugs and would love nothing more than a new family to call my own.   I’m a Labrador mix which means I’m a great family dog and will get along with everyone.  I look forward to lounging on the couch with Dad, helping Mom in the kitchen, and playing outside with my new brothers and sisters. I did have a great family so I never thought I would end up in a shelter.  Tragically, they lost their lives in a house fire. I was luckily to be outside at the time so I survived.  My fur may look a little scruffy, but if you look closely you will see that some of that…

Have Some Faith: Cat of the Week

Faith is one of nearly 40 cats "on sale" at Small Miracles.

Hello, my name is Faith!  Remember the 47 “on sale” cats from last week?  Well, I’m one of them! My name reminds me every day that I need to have faith that I will find my forever home one day. Until then, I put a smile on my face and act as cute as I can hoping to convince someone to give me a second chance. I haven’t had many visitors, but when someone takes the time to pick me up, its show time! I squint my eyes lovingly at them as I snuggle into their arms. I rub my head under their chin trying to show how affectionate I can be. If that isn’t enough to get their attention, I stretch out my paws and kneed their arm gently.   And of course I purr!   If there are any cute cat tips that I’m forgetting, please do let me know!  I desperately…

Judgment Free: Cat of the Week

Ricky just wants to listen, cuddle and be your friend.

Hello, I’m Ricky and I’m “That Guy.”   You know the one.   That guy you can always count on to be there for you when you need a friend?   I’m the guy that is always there with a listening ear and never judges you.  I’m always happy to see you and certainly always have time for friends. I’m a big guy so that means I give great big bear hugs to comfort you when you need it most! So why have I been at Small Miracles for over a year and a half?  Boy, I wish I knew!   Maybe people find my all white fur boring?  Maybe people want someone younger? All I know is that I will make a great addition to any family.   If you have ever thought, boy I’d like to get a true rescue some day, then I’m your cat! My adoption fee has even been reduced to help me…

Diamond is Everyone's Best Friend: Dog of the Week

This little pug/shih tzu mix will add some sparkle to your home.

Hello friend!   My name is Diamond and I’m a pug/shih tzu mix. Mixed with pure cuteness as I like to say. I’m a diamond in the rough. Some say I look like an Ewok – I say so what? Now you don’t have to dress me up for Halloween next month! Behind my scruffy yet irresistible appearance is a hidden gem. I am full of spunk, love, and happiness. I absolutely love meeting new people and always aim to be the center of attention. So yes, I am a diva. But when you are this small, you need a big personality!  Because I am so friendly, I will do well in just about any home. I will add that special flare to a quiet home, yet fit right in with a family full of rambunctious kids and other pets. Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but this diamond is …

Prim, Proper and Full of Affection: Cat of the Week

London's calling. Why not take him home?

Why, hello ladies.   My name is London and I am one fine young chap. Now let me ask you some questions. Are you tired of your husband not being affectionate enough? Does he expect you to do too much around the house after a long day of work? Does your significant other have a tendency to dress like a bum around the house? If you answered yes to any of these questions, it sounds like you need a little London in your life. My mum taught me well. First of all, men should always be presentable. I always wear my tuxedo. No matter what. No, really, I do. The pattern of my luxurious black and white fur is called a tuxedo coat so you will be guaranteed I’ll always be looking fine.  Not getting enough affection? You need a loving cat in your life…

Got a Hot Tip?
