Currently Living at: DC area foster home
Laufer is Looking For: Hey there, future family! I’m Laufer, the tail-wagging wonder you've been looking for. I’m a fetching young pup with a nose for adventure and a heart full of love. I’ve traveled all the way from the sunny fields of South Carolina to the historic streets of Washington, D.C., and I’m ready to be your new fur-ever friend! I’m on the prowl for a loving home where I can be your happiness booster. Whether you’re a jogger, a hiker, or a Netflix binger, I’ll be right by your side.
What My Foster Says About Me: Laufer just celebrated his first birthday in foster and his wish is to find his forever family! Laufer arrived at the shelter with his sister when they were puppies so we don't know what their life was like before that. They both came to DC and went into a foster home where they were both adopted pretty quickly. Unfortunately, Laufer's adoption didn't work out because the cats in the house were not happy to have a big, goofy puppy in the house. Since he was returned to LDAR, he has been in foster care and has grown from a clumsy puppy to a lanky, loveable young dog.
Even though he is still a big goofball, he is extremely intelligent and has been doing great with basic obedience. He knows that he has to sit before we leave the house, when we go through any gates, and before we go into the home. He absolutely loves his foster sibling who is also a LDAR alum. Laufer goes to the park every day to play with his friends since I don't have a backyard of my own, but I know he would LOVE to run and play with friends in his very own yard. He also goes to daycare a few times a week when I am in the office and the staff always love when he comes because he gives the best hugs. We also signed up for agility classes at Zoom Room in Springfield and he has already mastered going through the tunnel at our dog park.
If you want a dog that loves to swim, hike, walk, smell the roses, Laufer is your guy. He also has some training sponsored with Atlas Dog House so he can continue to work on all of his manners.
Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is fully potty trained as new environments may cause regression or take time to adjust to.
TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this puppy is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online bit.ly/adoptaluckydog
Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.
