My story

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

squish pup seeking love!

MARIO NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!

 

 

Name:  Mario         Best Guess for Breed:   Terrier, smooth fox terrier type mix 

 

Best Guess for Age: 1.5 months as of 8/20/2024          SEX:   Male

 

Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!):  5 lbs 8 oz as of 8/23/34

 

Gets Along With:        Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs, cats and kids so long as they receive patience and proper training.

 

Currently Living at:   Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here!

 

Special Adoption Considerations: Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy. 


Mario is Looking For:  Hiya! Me and my siblings (Melvin, Mustard, Misty, Marley) have enjoyed our puppy pile and our mama Marissa took great care of us. But now we're ready to split up and head off to our own forever homes! We've listed our strengths so we know what we have to offer to our new humans and I have this: Adoring gazes, snuggles, the ability to make you smile and laugh, and lots and lots of love and loyal companionship for all my days! In exchange I ask for snuggles and play time and opportunities to explore my new neighborhood - the local parks - and the world with you.  

 

What do you say? Does that sound like a fair trade to you?

What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once this pup has arrived in the DC area and spent some time in foster care.

Puppy Vetting Requirements:  Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be “fully” vaccinated. It is the adopter’s responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog.   

 

Due to this puppy’s young age, she/he has not yet been spayed or neutered.  As part of the adoption contract, it will be your responsibility, as the adopter, to ensure that this is done no later than January 6, 2025. There are NO EXCEPTIONS and NO EXTENSIONS to this date. A non-refundable spay/neuter deposit will be collected if you would like Lucky Dog to pay for this animal to be spayed/neutered at one of our low cost partner vets.

 

Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog! 

TO ADOPT:       The adoption fee for this puppy is $485, 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.

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.
