Already April!
Message from our Director, Sher: What's new??? Oh goodness!!! It is 2026 and we are already into April!! And since it’s 2026, that means this is our 20th year saving senior and special needs pets! We have loved and cared for 148 dogs and cats over those 20 years and...
Hershey Kiss Update!
Hershey update! (and yes, the doctor had to get on his knees to get a better look at our tiny little boy 😅) Our sweet Hershey saw the eye specialist last week, and it was confirmed he has mature cataracts. While surgery is an option, the doctor advised against it.....

Meet Violet 🐶💛
This sweet 15-year-old beagle weighs 21 lbs and is full of personality and quiet determination. She is blind and deaf, but that doesn’t slow her down one bit—Violet confidently makes her way through life (and her foster home) like a pro 🐾✨
She’s looking for a calm forever home where she can feel safe and supported in her golden years. A home without stairs would be ideal, or a patient human willing to help her safely navigate them when needed.
Violet was found as a stray and deserves gentle, attentive care and a cozy place to land after a lifetime of experience. In return, she brings sweetness, resilience, and a whole lot of heart 💛
If you’re ready to give a senior dog the loving retirement she deserves, Violet is ready to meet you 🐶
If you have room in your heart for a gentle soul who just needs a soft place to land, apply at MirisHaven.org.

#HappyBirthdayPiper
A lady never tells her age, but we think our adorable beagle Piper will be ELEVEN this month! Please join us in sending big HAPPY BIRTHDAY wishes to this fan favorite!
If you want to send her some birthday goodies, we'd greatly appreciate any donations to Piper's Amazon Wish List! You can check it out here: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/19TJDGRBURLAD?ref_=wl_fv_le
Piper’s beginnings were not so bright and hopeful – she was only 6 pounds at 6 months old and came to us in 2015 for hospice care because she was not thriving and her vet recommended euthanasia.
Our job was to love her for as long as we could and then let her go….….but once this little girl experienced the crazy love that everyone at the Sanctuary had for her, she didn’t dare leave us.
She is full of beans and is animated, spirited and lively, and when she is not bouncing around, she is snuggling and giving licks and LOVE.
We're so grateful for your ongoing support! Thanks for helping us celebrate this precious pup!
