Special Adoption Considerations: Joy 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!

Joy is Looking For:  Meet Joy, the real 'pawsitive' force that weathered the storm! Recently rescued as part of the hurricane relief mission, this brave girl is looking for a home to be her forever sunshine. She’s as loyal as a lighthouse and as cuddly as a cloud—whether it's chasing a ball or soaking up belly rubs, Joy is sure to bring a gust of happiness into your life. Ready to make waves with this hurricane hero? Adopt Joy, and let the good times roll! 

What My Foster Says About Me: Stay tuned!

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.
