🎉 UPDATE: Cherish has been adopted! 🎉

Meet Cherish!

Cherish is fostered by Miri's Haven Senior Pet Rescue in Rockville, MD.

This 11-year-old Pomeranian is as precious as her name. And yes, her neverending hot pink highlights are courtesy of her former owner—Cherish is living proof that seniors can still be fancy. (She has been given a dozen baths, but the paint never goes away. We have no idea what they used as paint that is so permanent!)

Cherish has a few health quirks, including an enlarged heart that gives her an adorable pot belly. The cardiologist says she has grade B2 valve disease and pulmonary hypertension, so she’ll need to stay on heart medicine for her golden years. But don’t worry! Many senior pups with similar conditions have gone on to live happy, love-filled lives with their families.

Cherish is ready to bring her unique style and big heart into your life.

Think you’re the perfect match for Cherish? Apply to adopt her at mirishaven.org/adopt
