Theodore is our longest resident and has been with us for over three years. He came in with several other dogs who have long ago been adopted. He is a beagle / basset hound mix. We jokingly and lovingly call him our big baby because he is scared of his own shadow. This boy was traumatized beyond words by the way he was neglected by his past owner, seized by the county, and then ending up in a dirty county shelter.

He has never emotionally recovered and it took him months to trust us. Because of this, we will consider him a sanctuary pet unless a very special adopter comes along. We don't want to put him through another emotional roller coaster and we think he deserves stability at his age. Theodore has allergies, requires a prescription diet, and cytopoint injections every few months.

Roxie is a beautiful little girl that came from Baltimore. She is 17 years old and has the arthritis that comes with age. She is an owner surrender.

Roxie is blind and hearing impaired, but we love her all the more. She is roommates with Mia and they truly enjoy each others company. She loves sitting in your lap outside and taking in all the smells. She’s a smart little girl who knows when its dinnertime and will sit by her bowl until it’s filled. We are hoping to be able to get her a desperately needed dental once she is cleared by our vet. She has a mouthful of teeth that we are sure she would be more comfortable without.

Roxie is currently being fostered. Fostering allows us to save more dogs. Miko’s Sanctuary still maintains financial responsibility for any vet care necessary. Please consider donating to Roxie’s dental needs.

Peanut is a 16 year old Min Pin / Chihuahua mix. He is the perfect little dog. Although he is not fond of being picked up, he shows he loves you in other ways. He is healthy for his age, but we have recently noticed that he is struggling with his vision.

Peanut loves being with the other dogs here and living life with the pack. After spending almost two years with us here at the Sanctuary, we’ve decided to keep this sweet southern gentleman as an official sanctuary dog.

She is extremely docile and appears to be sad. The scars on both of her ears make us believe that she had a rough life. That will now change for her.

She also has nerve damage and weakness in her hind legs. Her walk is mechanical and her arthritis is crippling. She is on daily supplements and pain relief meds to help her with the stiffness. She has no teeth and requires a soft diet. We want Eve to experience being pampered. A spa day now and then. All the a love and attention that she deserves so desperately.

We would truly appreciate any contributions made to Eve’s care. Please visit our PayPal page.

Kelly is a Miniature Pinscher who is 8 - 10 yrs old. She came to the Sanctuary with several masses on her body. Through the amazing support of our community, we were able to raise the funds to have all masses removed in July 22. At that time, pathology came back as lipomas. Kelly also has an enlarged heart and will need lifelong medication to help her heart pump more efficiently.

Kelly is currently in foster and thriving! She is a complete love bug , good with the other dogs, and seeks attention. She is house-trained and crate trained.

Support for Kelly’s ongoing care and medications can be made through PayPal.

Memaw is a sweet little old lady who just wants to rest after years of breeding. She is 15 - 17 years old. She is unspayed and has a mammary tumor, but unfortunately too frail to undergo anesthesia. I promised her she could rest here and would be comfortable, spoiled and pampered until the end of her days. We give her daily supplements and pain relief meds to help her with the stiffness of arthritis.

She loves everyone and while being held will place her head against your neck for comfort.

Pepee arrived at the Sanctuary in September 2022 already coughing and in congestive heart failure. Here we are, over a year later and he is still going strong. Amazing what medications can do to keep him comfortable. As long as he doesn’t give up, we will be right there with him. He’s a sweet little guy who loves to be with others.

Would you like to help? Pepee’s medications cost over $100 monthly. Please consider donating towards Pepee’s medications through PayPal.

Cupid joined us late in 2022. He came to us with a heart arrhythmia and requires lifelong medication. He is approximately 15 - 16 years old. He has no teeth and requires a soft diet. Cupid is very tolerant, friendly, and gets along well with other dogs. Although he is blind, he gets around just fine. He’s quiet and absolutely loves the outdoors. Soaking up the sun is his favorite thing to do.

Cupid is neutered, UTD on shots. He is on a compounded heart medication that costs approximately $50 monthly. We’re simply going to give him the dignity and love he deserves until the end. Cupid deserves that.

Maggie has an adorable snaggle smile! She came to us as a Sanctuary dog. At approximately 10 years old, she has a heart arrhythmia that causes her to occasionally faint. Lifelong medications help keep the fainting under control. She is also deaf.

If you would like to contribute toward Maggie’s care - her medications run about $40 - $50 / month - please click here or on the DONATE button in the top right of your browser screen.

Ciego is a 10 - 12 year old Chihuahua mix. He loves everybody and especially loves when you talk to him. Ciego likes to explore. He does need patience while learning to find his way to the back door to potty. He isn’t a fan of the crate, but we have him in a indoor play yard and he enjoys that tremendously.

This fella is incredibly friendly and trusting. He loves to play! Squeaky toys are his favorite. He is good with the other dogs at the sanctuary and did very well with children at our adoption event.

Ciego has been with us for quite some time without adoption interest. He is now unexplainably loosing weight and we have decided he is now a sanctuary dog.
