CARL NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name: Carl        Best Guess for Breed: Bulldog and hound mix 

Best Guess for Age:  7 years as of October 2024      Gender: Male

Gets Along With: Carl does well with other dogs and cats! We haven't seen him with kids. We are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!

Currently Living At: DC area foster home.

Carl is Looking For: His forever home. This sweetie ended up in a shelter through no fault of his own - and he's closed that chapter. He's eager to once again have his own humans for long sniffy walks and all the adventures they can dream up. Don't let that frosty face fool you - he's got plenty of zest! 

A cushy dog bed, quality kibble, lots of snugs - yep, all on his wish list too. But as a wise, experienced dog, he knows what's most important in life: To be safe and loved and under his own roof. He's got so much to offer in exchange - adoring gazes and loyal companionship, definitely, but he also promises to make you smile every day. What do you say? Are you Carl's soft landing? Is he the one for your home and your heart?

What My Foster Says About Me: Carl has the cutest, squishy face and has been adjusting to my house of dogs and cats! He really likes the cats the best, but they might not feel the same. Carl loves his dog bed and recently discovered the toy bin! How has this guy gone through his whole life without having his own toy - all dogs, especially older gents like Carl should have buckets and buckets of toys but he is hopeful he will have them in his new home :-)  He has done great with house breaking and crate training, loves to get pets, and hasn't met a stranger yet. If you're looking for a low-key, snuggle buddy, Carl is your boy! 

Special Adoption Considerations: Carl is a truly Lucky Dog! He tested positive for Heartworm disease but has already been treated! 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. We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process.

Carl arrived into our care with a couple of tumors that have remained stable and slow growing. We consulted a specialist and are following their recommendation to monitor those areas for now. We will be happy to discuss this in greater detail with potential adopters.

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.
