My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I am your dream dog! I am loving and gentle. You will love my sweet and cuddly nature. I am quiet but I will bark if strangers come to the door. I walk very nicely on a leash and I will sit for pets. I love to take long walks but if we only took short walks or If I only got to play in the yard, that would be fine, too. I like to be outside a lot, so I prefer a home with a yard or patio. I am crate-trained and like to sleep in my crate at night, but i really love having access to an outdoor space and would prefer to be outside than trapped in a crate. I spent the first year of my life living in a crate about 22 hours a day. I don't want to be reminded of those times. I am a good boy and deserve a good life. Please give me a chance.

I eat a raw diet and would love to adopted by someone who embraces a holistic lifestyle that includes a raw diet but this is not a requirement after the first 3 months. I can be slowly transitioned back to regular dog food once the adoption is final.

I have health insurance with no pre-existing conditions so you should never have to worry about vet bills. Besides that, I am perfectly healthy!




Adoption requirements:
Home ownership with insurance that allows German Shepherd mixes
Some outdoor space that I can have access to most of the time
I would do best as an only dog or in a family with another dog 20lbs or larger.
I cannot be trusted to be alone with cats or other small animals.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

If we have an adoptable pet you are interested in, please message us with some details about your home/family and request an application. Please allow 5 days for a response and if you don't get one, please email again.
If you're interested in helping us keep special needs pets alive and well, please arrange a recurring weekly or monthly donation at LJK9.com Even $5/week helps a lot. Thank You.

If you wish to adopt a single kitten, please note this. Kittens who have no other kittens to grow up with can be too rough as they grow larger and don't realize their increasing strength. Humans can communicate with cats, but fall short of what other cats can teach. Single kitten syndrome is a major factor in cats being given up to shelters so please do your part in preventing this by refusing to adopt a single kitten under 12 wks of age.

Prior to applying for a pet from any rescue, Please watch The Truth About Pet Cancer (linked below) to learn about common products linked to cancer. No doumentary is perfectly unbiased, so please ignore the unsubstantiated, biased claims and those based on single events. Please pay close attention to the parts backed by convincing evidence.

Please also note that Luckydog is generally against the use of essential oils in homes with pets. Many vets recommend them because they have some beneficial effects in some pets but nobody has propertly studied the long-term effects of exposure to these oils. Even undetectable vapors from EOs can be deadly. A pet owner may not realize a pet's been exposed and that pet may go on to be diagnosed with non-specific liver or kidney disease, for example, or seizures. The problem may never be linked to the EOs in the home. I'm yet to see a veterinary laboratory order form that offers a test for EO toxicity. The only way we find out a pet's been injured by EO's is usually when they've been acutely poisoned (exposed to large amounts in a short period of time) and get extremely ill. We recommend avoiding most fragrances and EO's in a home with pets.


Luckydog is big on promoting natural, holistic, and integrative health-optimization-protocols and wil like to help you keep your pet healthy after adoption (or while being fostered). Our experts scrutinize information gathered from thousands of medical journal entries and hundreds of experts rather than simply regurgitating the opinions of a single expert or community.

What Luckydog does isn't easy but we hope that it makes pet care easy for our followers. Luckydog's goal is to ensure you have no regrets on the day that you say "goodbye" to your furkid and that that day doesn't come any sooner than it has to. With that in mind, please enjoy this video series then come to our website (a work in progress) for more information. LJK9.com is our website.
