Story
Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.gorgeous akita mix ISO love and central air! GLORIA NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Gloria     Best Guess for Breed:  Akita and shepherd mix Best Guess for Age:   6 years as of November 2024     Gender: Female Approximate Weight:   49 lbs Gets Along With: Gloria lives with other dogs in her foster home. We haven't seen her with kids but she can be tested. Gloria should not go to a home with cats.  Currently Living At: DC area foster home. Special Adoption Considerations: Gloria 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! Gloria Is Looking For: Her forever home! She landed in the shelter through no fault of her own, and can't wait to once again have her own humans. She's eager for long sniffy walks and all the adventures her new family can dream up. Note her thick, dense coat. She has a preference for adventures in cool places - the mountains over the beach, Vermont or Montana, and oh yeah - Starbucks for pup cups. And quality kibble and and a cushy dog bed are on her wish list too. But you know what she wants most of all? To know where she belongs, to know who her people are, and to be safe and loved. In exchange, she offers her stockpile of adoring gazes and loyal companionship for all her days.  What My Foster Says About Me: Gloria is a great dog.  She walks well on leash, and hasn't had an accident in the house since I got her.  She can sit and stay (with treats).  She is very treat-motivated.  She interacts well with my dogs, and she is not noisy at all! 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!

Wale A554614Wale is a most interesting dog.He has arresting blue eyes, gorgeous brindle fur, and white feet.Wale was quiet in his kennel, with just a squeak or two alerting me his desire to go outside.Wale was easy to leash up, and off we went!I sensed Wale had some pent up energy so we played in the big play yard on the hill.Wale patrolled the edges of the space and enjoyed dashing about, playing with the rope toys.Wale is only a year old and appears smart enough to benefit from some basic training.Wale is available to all adopters.Check out my video by copying and pasting link below into a browser window:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e19ZXikdMkAnimal Services Division3750 Brown Station RoadUpper Marlboro MD301-720-7800

Story
NEED FOSTER HOME FOR ONE OF THE MIXED PUPPIES FROM KIKKI'S STAR WARS LITTER!! Meet Hera, a loving, energetic companion looking for a foster or forever home. Hera is a charming dog with a heart full of loyalty and affection. She can be shy upon initially meeting someone, but adapts quickly. Once comfortable, her playful spirit and boundless energy shine through. Hera enjoys walks and is currently building confidence on leash. She has been fostered in a multi-animal home and gets along with other dogs very well. She sometimes needs a reminder to give the cats some space. She is potty trained as well as crate trained although she can be anxious when left alone at times. A calm, male companion would be ideal for her. Her foster home is currently working on basic training, including some tricks. She is very smart but can be stubborn. You will need some creativity to keep her engaged while training. Several short sessions as opposed to a long one. If you are looking for a devoted friend who will bring joy and enthusiasm into your life, Hera might be a match. Her lovable personality would ensure her becoming a cherished part of your family!! She is very smart and needs an owner who will engage her brain: obedience, fast cat, agility.  Prefer owners with some previous experience with dogs.  She will be spayed prior to placement.  See more pix and video at https://www.facebook.com/akitarescue.org/Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 12:00 am

Story
Mama Kiki and her 2 week old puppies luckily landed in the shelter as strays.  The shelter contacted rescue, we were lucky to find a temporary foster and then regular foster home for them.  She will be available once her puppies are weaned and she is spayed.  Both foster homes say she is very sweet and food oriented.  She was bone thin when she came to us, probably having been in poor shape before her pregnancy.  Watch her blossom once she is no longer feeding her pups. The oicture of her wwith the white Akita is her meeting and interacting with him, the resident dog at the foster home.See more pix and  video of mom and her pups at https://www.facebook.com/akitarescue.org/  Ashoka and Omega have applications on them.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 12:00 am

ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/12497Meet Ginna – Your Adventure Buddy and Snuggle Partner All in One!Name: GinnaGender: FemaleBreed: Husky/Shepherd MixAge: 4 yearsWeight: 45 lbsCurrent Location: Staunton, VAAbout Are you looking for a spirited, loving adventure buddy who’s equally happy to curl up with you at the end of the day? I’m Ginna, a 4-year-old Husky/Shepherd mix with a gentle nature and a heart full of love. I’m 45 pounds of loyalty, affection, and fun, ready to explore the world by your side.PersonalityI’m playful, affectionate, and I love spending time with my foster family. I’m a bit of an attention hog, so if there’s love being shared, I’ll jump right in! I have a unique play style—sometimes I make a little growling noise, but I’m very submissive and gentle, especially around other dogs and puppies. I take a few days to settle in with new dog friends, but once they understand me, we’re all good. I’m also a great conversationalist with my delightful Husky “talk” and enjoy chatting with my foster family!Energy LevelI’m an active gal who loves to do zoomies in the yard, jumping like a deer and running at top speed! I’m happiest when I have space to play and a fenced yard (at least 5 feet high) where I can safely stretch my legs. I enjoy walks and am great on a leash, though I prefer a fenced yard for bathroom breaks.Skills and TrainingI’m house-trained and will bark to let you know I need to go outside. I’m quiet in my crate, walk well on a leash and take treats very gently. I know how to “sit” and greet both adults and kids politely when introduced slowly. I am wary of new people, especially young children, so I need a home with calm, patient introductions to new faces. With some time, I warm up—my foster mom’s 4-year-old grandson is now a buddy I gently lick on the face!CompanionshipI’m looking for an active, calm household where I can play, learn, and settle in. I love spending time with other dogs, though I prefer slower introductions, and would do best with a family that enjoys both outdoor adventures and peaceful evenings. With my foster family, I’ve shown how gentle I can be with puppies and how affectionate I am once I know my people.Love and AffectionIf you’re looking for a fun-loving, devoted companion who’s equally up for outdoor adventures and indoor snuggles, I’m the perfect gal for you. I’ll keep you entertained with my Husky charm, love you endlessly, and be the loyal friend you’ve been waiting for. Apply to meet me today, and let’s start our journey together!Watch me in actionWalking on leashSweet girlSitting prettyChasing GinnaWalking on leashPlaying in yardTrevor and GinnaPuppy pile on GinnaI’m doing great at my foster home but I'm ready for a family of my own. I know they’re out there and I’m going to keep working to be the best pup until you find me! Apply to adopt me today!
