Sweet Connie loves a good photo shoot.

Connie is a 12 year old, 16 lb cockerpoo. She is fostered by Miri’s Haven Senior Dog Rescue in Rockville, MD. She is going to make someone's perfect companion and a great addition to someone's family!

She has a great personality and will not only tell you what she wants, but she'll show you where it is! Just follow her lead!

This sweet senior girl has been through so much change in such a short time, but you’d never know it by the way she gently melts into your lap, follows her foster dad with quiet trust, and curls up in front of the fire like she’s finally found a safe place in this hectic world.

Connie is house and pee pad trained, good with other dogs and kids (she has a 7 year old child in her foster home!)

Connie is as sweet as can be and is a great cuddle and nap buddy!

If you would like adopt Connie, visit mirishaven.org.
