Special adoption considerations: Laia is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs.  All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care.  After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months.

We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left.

Laia is Looking For:  Her forever home! This sweet girl came into the shelter bearing the evidence of a probably-not-so-awesome previous chapter - there are thin jagged spots of hair missing from her back, perhaps from being snagged on a barbed wire fence or scald marks. Heartworm positive. But you know what? That old chapter is firmly closed and she's eager for her new one. The one where she gets her own humans for long sniffy walks, romps in the park, and all the adventures they can dream up. 

 

Laia is out of the puppy yips and in her prime - and looking forward to being a well-loved dog, under her own roof, and bestowing all those adoring gazes and all the love and loyalty in her body upon her family. What do you say? Can you see her by your side?

 

What My Foster Says About Me: 

Laia is very sweet and enjoys being in the company of people. She sits well by the couch for TV time, but is also always happy to go on a walk or romp around the yard. Her absolute favorite thing to do is play with her ball - once she’s got it she will entertain herself! 

 

Laia currently lives with cats and another dog. She has done very well with potty & crate training, and she is fantastic in the car! 

 

 

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training. 


TO ADOPT:    The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.  If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at 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.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption process begins when you submit an adoption application either online or at an adoption event. The individual responsible for the dog you are interested in adopting - a position we call the “adoption coordinator” - will then set up a time to discuss your application over the telephone. The adoption coordinator will check your vet reference to make sure all current and past pets were kept up-to-date with their shots and medical care. The adoption coordinator will also set up a home visit with one of our trained volunteers. That individual will come to your home to ensure that it is a safe environment, to confirm that everyone in the home is on board with adopting a dog, and to discuss any other questions you may have about dog adoption!

Go meet their pets

Our adoption events are held each weekend. A schedule of times and locations can be found at www.luckydoganimalrescue.org.
