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 girl seeking her happily ever after!

ESTELLA NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!

 

Name:  Estella        Best Guess for Breed:  Hound and Terrier mix 

 

Best Guess for Age:  9 years as of July 2024       SEX:   Female

 

Approximate Weight:   56 lbs

 

Gets Along With:  Estella would prefer a home where she is the princess of the castle without any other dogs to share in her family’s attention.

 

She may allow a cat to share her castle, but it needs to be a wise one. Estella currently lives with a cat, and has lived with cats before; if she does chase a cat it’s only to play! Her feline companion would need to be savvy to canine ways. We are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! 

 

Currently Living at:  DC area foster home

 

All about Estella:

Princess Estella graced Lucky Dog with her presence in 2020 and quickly found a family to care for her. For the past four years she has been in a loving home. Though she did nothing wrong, her family’s situation changed so she is looking for a new family, and a new chapter in her story!

She loves to hold court in her home, and will even retire to the royal bedroom (crate) if she must! She is happiest when she can lavish affection on her family, it warms her heart to love and be loved. She feels protective of her family and will do all she can to keep them safe; sometime she gets confused and confronts invited guests, so her foster is helping her learn how to be a more welcoming host.

She revels in her romps outside; although she is a “mature” princess you would never guess it from her sprightly pace and joy in touring the countryside. She takes kindly to the leash and enjoys a (possibly undignified) roll in the grass! She likes to be undisturbed in her adventures, so doesn’t always take kindly to fellow canine travelers; she looks forward to finding a family that can help make those encounters more positive!

If you give this lovely lady a chance, she promises loyal companionship for all her days in return. Are you Estella's soft landing and fresh start? Is she your new walking buddy?

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 $375, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online   at   bit.ly/adoptaluckydog  .

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.
