My name is Chilli!

CHILLI NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name:  Chilli       Best Guess for Breed:  Kelpie and heeler mix. Maybe?

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

Approximate Weight: 21 lbs

Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen her with kids or cats but she 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 get her freedom ride up here after completing heartworm treatment

Special Adoption Considerations: Chilli 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!

Chilli is Looking For: Her forever home! Shelter staff say she is very sweet and a little shy. She ended up in the shelter through no fault of her own and it's a little confusing. She wants nothing more than to once again have her own humans, to love and to be loved. To trot by their side, to explore the neighborhood - local parks -the world! - with them. 

In exchange, she promises adoring gazes, all the love in her little body, and loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say? Does Chilli have a spot in your lap and your life?

What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once she has arrived in the DC area and 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.
