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

Rey is one of Kiki's puppies, part of the 'Star Wars' litter, all of whom were named after Star Wars characters.   She is Pittie, akita/chow and a mix of other breeds. she will be spayed prior to placement.  Rey has the pittie lack of personal space.  She is a cuddle dog and will sit in your lap if you let her. She has barked at dogs passing by when she is in our fenced front yard. She is a bit shy initially with people and would do well with a confident male companion. Although she only has face to face contact when we walk them, she has acclimated to the very loud dogs in my house.  When she is loose, will playblow to the dogs on the other side of the baby gate. She largely ignores my cats or is intimidated by them. She has a voice and is not afraid to use it when she is hungry or has to go out. crate trained. Very food oriented which helps with training.  She is very smart and will need an owner who is willing to give her a job: obedience training, agility, flyball, fast cat.   prefer applicant with previous dog experience.

Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.gorgeous husky mix ISO love and central air! GLORIA NEEDS A FOSTER OR 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: Other dogs! We haven't seen her with kids or cats but she can be tested 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: 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: We will update this once she has arrived in the DC area and spent some time with her 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
Meet Belle! This sweet girl deserves so much better than she had; our goal is to make that happen. Belle was rescued back in August and was the victim of cruel, ignorant owners who chained her to the bumper of a car, unspayed, and unprotected from the elements or predators. They didn’t provide her with consistent meals or fresh water, and she had no vet care. When we took her in, she was severely underweight and had multiple litters over the years, living outside with little room to move and no chance to escape. One of her puppies was chained next to her . A local animal advocate became aware of her dire situation and was able to arrange the release of Belle and her puppy. The most frustrating part of this story is that before we secured Belle’s freedom, her owner decided to unchain her and let her run free. She was hit by a car while foraging for food and came into the rescue with a fractured hip, a broken tail, and was heartworm positive. Belle now lives with a mom, dad, and two other dogs and has spent the past 3.5 months recovering and learning the rules of home life. She has made so much progress and is naturally a happy pup. She has a medium energy level and loves to go on walks, spinning in circles when she sees her leash, but she also likes to chill on the couch. Belle is a nice mix of independent and connected to her human…very Husky-like. She follows her foster mom around and is very smart and attentive. She wants to be with you but is fine being in the same room without being in your lap. Belle would do well as an only dog or with a dog of similar size/energy. She worked through some early guarding issues, which is understandable for a dog who was starved and never had resources. She will need a gradual introduction to her new pack and some time to get comfortable, but she does well once established. Toys and bones are lying around her foster home, and she doesn’t guard them, and she takes treats politely in a group without issue. Each night, the pups get a small whipped cream dollop, and Belle always finishes hers first but never tries to get the others' treats. Her foster mom feeds her meals separately, which is always a wise decision with any new dog. Belle has also proven to have good house manners. She is housetrained and is not destructive when left home alone. Her foster mom tried the crate early on, and she wasn’t a fan, so she keeps Belle in a separate room when she leaves home. At night, Belle sleeps in bed with the other two dogs and her foster family. As Belle has settled in and healed, she’s become playful, gets zoomies now, and is not limited by her past injuries. She's warmed up to head scratches and belly rubs and has learned what being a family dog is like.
