My name is Cal!

CAL NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name:    Cal        Best Guess for Breed:    Hound and Retriever mix  

Best Guess for Age:    2.5 years as of Oct. 2024       Gender:    Male

Approximate Weight:    49 lbs

Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven’t seen Cal with cats or kids, but he can be tested!

Currently Living At: South Carolina shelter - Cal needs a foster or adopter to make his way to the DC area

Special Adoption Considerations: Cal 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!

Cal is Looking For: Meet Cal, a handsome 2.5-year-old hound and retriever mix with a tan coat and a heart as golden as his fur! Cal is the perfect combination of playful energy and sweet affection. His hound and retriever mix gives him a fun-loving spirit and a natural curiosity for the world around him—he’ll happily accompany you on all kinds of adventures, whether it's exploring the great outdoors or cozying up for a snuggle session on the couch. Cal is looking for a loving home where he can shine as a loyal companion. If you’re ready for a new best friend who’s equal parts fun and loyal, Cal might just be the perfect match!

What My Foster Says About Me: Coming Soon! 

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.
