RAPUNZEL NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Best Guess for Age: 8 years as of October 2024 SEX: Female
Approximate Weight: 17 lbs

Special adoption considerations: Rapunzel is a truly Lucky Dog! She tested positive for Heartworm disease but has already been treated! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the adoption counseling process.
About Rapunzel:
The two-legged Rapunzel was a long-haired damsel in distress who needed to be rescued from her tower.
This four-legged Rapunzel was a terribly long-haired damsel in distress who needed to be rescued from deplorable conditions. Only last July (2024), she had been a filthy, overgrown and matted mess, rescued from a terrible situation in a barn along with several other senior dogs. They were known as the Tangled 10 and they all required so much vetting and grooming.
Rapunzel got all cleaned up and healthy. She went into an amazing foster home in South Carolina, where she learned what love is like and to trust humans. What a cushy bed is like, what quality food tastes like. She's still learning all about the world - she's got lost time to make up for!
Now she is oh so eager to have her very own home, to be safe and loved for all her days. A home where she gets to get the long sniffy walks she didn't get to do the first part of her life, where she gets to see the world. What do you say? Does she get to do that by your side? Do you get all the love, adoring gazes, and loyal companionship she has to offer?
What My DC Area Foster Says About Me:
Rapunzel is doing really well. She follows me and my dog like a shadow. She is eating and drinking really well, she likes treats. If you pick her up, she just settles on you and doesn't mind being held. She is active and likes to walk, and is gaining confidence!
Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
