As the year comes to a close, Miller &amp; Smith is celebrating the season of giving with the launch of The Gift of Home, a referral promotion inviting homeowners, past prospects, friends, and family to share one of life&rsquo;s greatest gifts &mdash; a place that truly feels like coming home.
The holidays have a way of reminding us what matters most: connection, comfort, belonging, and the people we choose to gather with. That spirit inspired this year&rsquo;s referral initiative, designed to help more families step into a home and a community where memories can grow for generations. Whether it&rsquo;s the glow from a kitchen filled with laughter, the calm of a morning routine in a space that finally fits, or the joy of hosting loved ones under a brand-new roof &mdash; the gift of home lasts far beyond the season.
A Holiday Promotion Rooted in Storytelling and Community
For decades, Miller &amp; Smith has built homes that evoke emotion &mdash; places where homeowners say it &ldquo;just feels right&rdquo; the moment they walk in. This year&rsquo;s Gift of Home promotion continues that tradition with an invitation: 
If you know someone searching for the right home, you can help them find the one where their story begins.
Referrers can learn more about how to participate and what they&rsquo;ll receive by visiting the promotion page:

Dogtopia of Herndon

At Dogtopia, we believe your pup deserves the absolute best in care, safety, and play. Whether you’re dropping off for a few hours of play, an overnight stay, or a relaxing spa treatment, Dogtopia is your dog’s home away from home. Our dog daycare provides a safe, supervised, and engaging environment where dogs can enjoy off-leash play in spacious playrooms designed for their comfort. Each playroom is separated by size and temperament, ensuring every pup is paired with the right friends for safe socialization.

Dogtopia isn’t just about play — it’s about wellness, too. A day at Dogtopia helps your dog stay active, burn off energy, and return home happy and relaxed. To support overall health, we offer the DASH Activity Collar — a daycare-approved smart collar. DASH tracks your dog’s activity levels, rest, and wellness, giving you valuable insights into their health and behavior both at Dogtopia and at home. It’s another way we make sure your pup is not only having fun, but thriving. Our boarding services give dogs a chance to enjoy all-day play and restful nights under the care of our trusted team. And if your dog needs a little pampering, our spa services include baths, brush-outs, nail trims, and more, so they’ll look and feel their best. As pet parents ourselves, we know safety and transparency matter. That’s why every Dogtopia location is equipped with webcams, allowing you to check in on your pup throughout the day. Our facilities are sanitized with pet-safe cleaning products, and our staff is trained in canine behavior, first aid, and safety protocols. At Dogtopia, we’re passionate about giving dogs the love, exercise, and socialization they need to thrive — while giving pet parents peace of mind. Discover why so many families trust us as their dog’s second home.
