My name is Ty!

TY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name:    Ty        Best Guess for Breed:    terrier/lab mix   

Best Guess for Age:    2 years as of May 2024       SEX:    male

Approximate Weight:    30 lbs

Gets Along With:  other dogs. Ty must go to a home with a resident dog to help build his confidence! If you have young children in the home, Ty might not be the best fit for your family, but we are happy to discuss it with you.

Currently Living at:  DC area foster home

Special adoption considerations:Because Ty is shy, he needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog. We would be cautious placing Ty in a home with children under 12 years old because young kids can often scare shy dogs with their level of energy or noise.  Children would need to be supervised closely to not leave doors open and should never walk the dog without an adult holding the leash.  We would be happy to discuss this more in depth with any applicant.

Ty 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!

Ty is Looking For:  his new home in the DC area! He is looking for a family to give him lots of love and take him on long walks to the park to play with his friends. He's excited to go to obedience training and learn to be the very best boy, and have many years of love in his new home!

What My Foster Says About Me:  'What a good boy you are!' is what Ty hears the most in my house.  'Aren't you so handsome?' is what Ty hears second most.  Ty has a shiny black coat with a small white stripe on his chest, almost like a built-in tie.  He's fit and the perfect size, not too small, not too big - just right.  Ty is friendly with other dogs and is learning that people will give him treats and belly rubs, so he's starting to trust people.  Ty is learning quickly to do his business outside.  He would do well in an apartment because he's as quiet as a mouse.  Ty likes to settle down near me, occasionally making eye contact with his carmel colored eyes and I tell him once again 'Aren't you so handsome!'

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
