My story

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

Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet small girl seeking fresh start and love!

MAGENTA NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Come meet Magenta and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (Nov. 17th) from 12-3 pm at the Petsmart in Falls Church (6100 Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)!

 

Name:  Magenta      Best Guess for Breed: Chihuahua mix

Best Guess for Age:  3 years as of July 2024       Gender: Female

Approximate Weight:   15.7 lbs

Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen her with cats but she can be tested. 

Because Magenta is shy, she needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog. We would be cautious placing Magenta in a home with children under 12 years old because young kids can often scare small breed dogs with their level of energy or noise.  Children would need to be supervised closely to ensure their interactions with the dog are calm and gentle in nature.  We would be happy to discuss this more in depth with any applicant.

Currently Living At: DC area foster home

Special Adoption Considerations: Magenta 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!

Magenta is Looking For: Magenta landed in a rural, overcrowded Texas shelter nursing her puppies. She was heartworm positive and was brought to the Lucky Dog rescue campus to receive treatment. Despite her rough previous chapter, she is just such a sweetie. 

She's looking for her new chapter, the one where she gets her own humans for sniffy walks and world exploration. She just wants to know she's safe and loved and under her own roof. And to know upon whom to bestow all the adoring gazes and snuggles she has been storing up. 

What do you say? Is Magenta the companion you have been seeking?

What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once she has spent some time with her foster

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.
