Story
Kimberly is the cutest, cuddliest, most loving dog you will ever get the honor of adopting! She is house-trained and does good inside the house when no one is around, and also knows sit, down, place, paw, off, heel, come, and has done a variety of different agility courses. She's a fast learner, very smart, and very obedient when not exposed to too many triggers. She has lots of energy for outdoor hikes, but is also happy to just lie on the couch and be a potato with you all day. She loves to cuddle and will greet you whenever you come home with the wiggliest of butts and bring you all her favorite toys! While loyal and loving, Kimberly does not come without her quirks. She is an anxious and reactive dog, with her primary trigger being other dogs, and when over-stimulated, other people as well. She does not like confined spaces, but is showing a lot of progress with her crate-training. Kimberly has been able to meet other dogs when introduced slowly and properly, and is muzzle-trained. She also is okay with children when introduced slowly, and trust is able to be formed. She would thrive in a house-hold where she is the only dog and is not in a busy/urban area, and with someone who has prior experience with dog anxiety or reactivity. Thank you for your interest in Kimberly! Please visit www.hart90.org/petdetail.aspx?ID=17089 to get the most up-to-date and accurate information on this pet, to email the contact person listed for more information and how to meet Kimberly, or to submit an online application. HART adopts to the local DC/VA/MD metro area only. Visit our website for more information about our adoption process.

Story
Hi y’all, my name is Dory, I'm a 1 year old, 50 lbs., German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) mix and I’m looking for a loving place to call my forever home. You see, the first few months of my life weren’t easy. My first human was young when she got me and brought me home to live with her, her grandmother, and another dog. I later found out that she never asked her grandmother’s permission to bring me home. Although I felt like an outcast, I stayed close to my first human to feel safe until she stopped coming around--- I guess I stopped being the new and shiny thing in her life. With her gone, tension built up at home. Her grandmother resented me, and her dog really disliked me. In fact, the other dog bullied and hurt me a few times.  For some dogs, losing their home is traumatic. However, I felt a huge sense of relief when I was surrendered because I was no longer walking on eggshells. The wonderful South Carolina animal shelter welcomed me in and showed me that the world isn’t scary. With their care and love, I blossomed! I love the outdoors and I love playing with other playful pups. After some waiting, the shelter transferred me to A Home of Their Own Animal Rescue to increase my chances of finding my forever home. I am now in a foster home with a lovely family, including 2 small humans. They're all great, especially the little humans! They're fun. My foster mom says that I am a sweet and easygoing girl, fully house broken, crate trained, and adorable. I don’t jump up on my foster family either! I like to calmly greet you at the door with a big waggly tail. I love children, belly rubs, long walks and food! I walk so well on a leash- I don’t pull, but sometimes I get excited to see squirrels or deer (who doesn't?!). I love meeting other dogs and cuddling with my humans. Reach out to the nice people at AHOTO so you can meet me!!  ##2143152##

Please contact Caitlin Finn (caitlin.finn@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.young boy ready to play! KENTUCKY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Kentucky       Best Guess for Breed:   Pointer and lab mix Best Guess for Age:  1 year as of December 2024   Gender:    Male Approximate Weight:    51 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with kids but he can be tested if you have them. Kentucky is a bit too interested in his feline friends so a home without cats is best. Currently Living At: Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to come up after completing heartworm treatment Special Adoption Considerations: Kentucky 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! Kentucky is Looking For: His forever family! He's got all that awesome young-dog energy and is eager to have his own humans for long sniffy walks, romps in the park, and exploring the world - he hasn't seen nearly enough of it. He'd love to make pup pals along the way, too. Quality kibble, cushy dog beds, peanut butter-filled Kongs - yes, please. But you know what he wants most of all? To know where he belongs, to know he's safe and loved for all his days.What do you say? Is he the one you see by your side?   What My Foster Says About Me:We will update this once he has arrived in the DC area and spent some time with his 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.  Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!

Story
Male, 2 years old, 45 lbs Personality: quiet, shy, playful, independent, and goofy/funny. Meet Elvis, our handsome cookie n' cream sweetie with gilded eyes – a quiet and charming pup who's ready to steal your heart! This shy yet friendly boy may take a moment to warm up to new faces, but once he does, his playful and goofy side shines through. With a perfect blend of independence and affection, he's the ideal companion for those who appreciate a dog with a unique personality. Our lovable friend thrives on a balanced routine of walks and relaxation. He enjoys his daily strolls and backyard adventures, but equally cherishes his time lounging in his cozy crate – his personal haven. This clever pup finds joy in solving puzzle toys for treats, showcasing his intelligence and keeping his mind sharp. While he's generally calm and can sleep for long stretches, he also has bursts of energy that make for entertaining and fun-filled moments. When it comes to socializing, this darling boy is a gentle soul. He's comfortable around people and warms up to guests quickly, though he may initially be a bit reserved. His interactions with other dogs are generally positive, both on and off-leash, and he's even okay with cats – though he might try to initiate playtime with his feline friends! This pup's friendly nature extends to his human companions, but he's still learning to control his excitement, occasionally becoming a bit mouthy when overstimulated. Training is an ongoing adventure with this eager learner. He's made significant progress with house training, mostly knowing to do his business outside. Leash manners are a work in progress, with occasional pulling that presents an opportunity for some fun training sessions together. His crate training is coming along nicely – he loves his crate with the door open but is still adjusting to having it closed, providing a perfect chance to build trust and comfort. This delightful dog is more than just a pet – he's a loyal companion, a playful friend, and a bundle of love waiting to brighten your days. With his quiet demeanor, independent spirit, and moments of goofy charm, he's sure to bring joy and laughter to your home. Are you ready to give this sweet, cookie n' cream boy with the golden eyes his forever family? Apply today to meet Elvis and discover the perfect blend of fun and affection he has to offer! ______________________________________________________ If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application.

  My name is Robbie and I am puppy at heart and only 6 months old.  My pictures make me look big but ready I am not big at all. I only weigh 35 pounds at 6 months and they say I will be 65-70- pounds as an adult.  I LUV KIDS!   My heart leaps for joy when I See children that I can play with and love on.  I am a boy that loves to run fast and for a little bit of time too.  I need not only physical Exercise but also some fun games and training games to help my smart brain feel challenged too.  I need a fenced yard and someone To help share playtime and games with me sometimes.  I could use the company of another dog as well to help me with the physical Playtime outside and also to keep me active with socialization with other dogs.   We think that Robbie has some Pointer in him since He raises once leg and seems to point quite often during this outside playtime.  He is alert and very smart.   He walks pretty well on a leash and he is curious to learn more things about life.  He is not inside a lot so we would have to say that he could be housebroken fast if given some one on one Attention and training.  This boy is good with cats, dogs and adores children.  He never meets a stranger and he will needs a fenced yard To best live within safely and to run and play for long hours if the weather is good.  We want a wonderful dog savvy and loving family for Robbie.   He will be a 65 pounds boy when fully grown we think.   If you are interested in knowing more about Robbie please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   Mention where you live.  We transport from Nashville, TN where we are based and we travel to the Northeastern region as well with our pre-adopted dogs.   Thank you for considering this precious boy   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comNovember 11, 2024, 7:28 pm
