My name is Dorian!

DORIAN NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name:  Dorian          Best Guess for Breed:  Retriever/lab mix

Best Guess for Age:  14 weeks as of 3/17/2025          SEX:  Male

Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!):  9 pounds as of 3/5/2025

Gets Along With: Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs, cats and kids so long as they receive patience and proper training. We are happy to discuss integration techniques with any adopter!

Currently Living at: DC area foster home

Special Adoption Considerations:  Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy. 

Dorian is Looking For:  Hiya! I'm Dorian! Me and my littermates, Dax, Douglas, and Debit have loved our time in the puppy pile, but we are each ready to pack our bags and find our very own forever home! I'm looking for a home that will let me play with toys and get my puppy zoomies out and give me snuggles in between playtimes. When I'm a little older, I can't wait to explore my new neighborhood on lots of walks, and I'd really like to make a bunch of doggie friends along the way. Oh, and I should probably take a puppy obedience class or two so I can show you how smart I am. What do you say? Do you have room in your heart for me?

What My Foster Says About Me: Dorian and his brother are playful and loving—pausing for a hug then leaping out of your arms to race around the backyard. They are both eager to play with their foster’s dogs and understand how to back away if a big dog tells them to. Dorian's inner retriever shows in his joy for carrying things in his mouth—sticks, toys, whatever. The puppies enjoy their walks through the woods and sit quietly to watch the deer. When play time is done, Dorian will gaze sweetly at you with his beautiful green eyes.

Puppy Vetting Requirements: Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be “fully” vaccinated. It is the adopter’s responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog.   

Due to this puppy’s young age, she/he has not yet been spayed or neutered.  As part of the adoption contract, it will be your responsibility, as the adopter, to ensure that this is done no later than June 7, 2025. There are NO EXCEPTIONS and NO EXTENSIONS to this date. A non-refundable spay/neuter deposit will be collected if you would like Lucky Dog to pay for this animal to be spayed/neutered at one of our low cost partner vets.

Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog! 

TO ADOPT:       The adoption fee for this puppy is $485, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter.    If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online bit.ly/adoptaluckydog
