Story
https://foha.org/pet/aubrey2024/ **Hello, I'm Aubrey.** I am a sweet girl, but feeling quite overwhelmed and scared here at the shelter. All the barking and bustling activity around me has me on edge, and it's hard for me to come out of my shell. But let me tell you, I'm really hoping to find a quiet, patient home where I can learn to trust and feel safe. Getting leashed up was a big step for me with the help and understanding from a kind person here at the shelter. Treats are definitely the way to my heart, and a peaceful spot to hang out in sounds like a dream come true. Although I'm not fully shut down out of my kennel, I'm generally very scared and cautious so far. I'm hoping to find a family-either foster or adoptive-who will take things slow with me, understanding that I need time to build my confidence. As my shelter family gets to know me better, they promise to update my bio. For now, I'm just here, hoping and waiting for that special someone to come along and give me the extra TLC and patience I truly need and deserve. Looking forward to brighter days ahead, Aubrey

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 there! I'm Harold! I’m a fun-loving, 2-year-old pointer mix and am 35-40 lbs. of pure joy. I’m friendly with all dogs, so I love meeting new pals to play with. When I’m on a leash, I’m a total pro—walking is always a fun time. And don’t even get me started on car rides—just say the word car, and I’m in! Whether we’re heading to the park or just out for a drive, I’m happy to go wherever the adventure takes us. I love to give hugs and I might be a bit big, but I can still be a lapdog!. But, what I really, really love? Kids! I’m crazy about them. If you’ve got a yard, you’re in luck—I’d thrive running and playing with kids all day long. I’m the perfect mix of playful and well-behaved, so I’ll keep you on your toes while also being the best buddy to your little ones. If you’re looking for a dog who’s active, fun, and gets along with everyone, then I think we’re going to be the best of friends! ##2274912##

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! Please visit us online at www.luckydoganimalrescue.org.  BE A FOSTER!!! Fosters make it possible for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to save and care for homeless and abandoned dogs!  To learn about fostering, please contact fostering@luckydoganimalrescue.org! BE A SPONSOR!!!!
