My name is Sweetheart!

SWEETHEART NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name:    Sweetheart     Best Guess for Breed:      Flat-Coated Retriever/Shepherd Mix

Best Guess for Age:   8 yrs old        Gender:    Female

Approximate Weight:    35 lbs

Gets Along With:  Sweetheart was rescued off the streets of Puerto Rico and hasn't seen enough of the world yet, and needs to go to a home with a friendly resident dog.  We haven't seen her with cats but she can be tested if you have them. We would be cautious placing Sweetheart in a home with children under 12 years old because young kids can often scare shy dogs with their level of energy or noise.  Children would need to be supervised closely to not leave doors open and should never walk the dog without an adult holding the leash.  We would be happy to discuss this more in depth with any applicant.

Currently Living At:  Will be at Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus for heartworm treatment before heading to the DC area. 

Sweetheart  is Looking For: A family to give me the love I've been missing.  I've had a rough go of it.... I've been staying alive on the streets of Puerto Rico for a long time, and I got a broken leg in my past.  I look forward to a place where I can feel safe and secure, with humans I can give my love to!  Will you give me chance? 

What My Foster Says About Me: Will update once he has a foster! 

Special Adoption Considerations: Sweetheart is a truly Lucky Dog. Although she has tested positive for heartworms, treatment has been scheduled! 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. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment.  We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process.

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.
