My name is Samuel!

SAMUEL NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name:  Samuel       Best Guess for Breed:   Shepherd and lab mix 

Best Guess for Age:   3 years as of November 2024       Gender:  Male

Approximate Weight:   49 lbs

Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with kids or cats but he can be tested if you have them. 

Currently Living At: Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to come up after completing heartworm treatment

Special Adoption Considerations: Samuel 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!

Samuel is Looking For: His forever home! Through no fault of his own this handsome cutie landed in the shelter. He's eagerly looking forward to having his own humans once again for romps in the park and all the adventures they can dream up. And then pets and cuddles and belly scritches at the end of a fun day together.And he'll want quality kibble and a cushy dog bed. Most of all, though, he wants to know he's safe and loved. 

In exchange, he promises to make you smile - and to provide loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Is Samuel the one you see by your side?
