Story
Age: 2 years Size: 58 pounds Estimated breed: Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mix Spotty needs a home with: resident dog(s), fenced in yard, no young children   Update 7/7:  Spotty is super dog social guy who needs to be with other dogs. He absolutely adores every dog he meets. Spotty is still a little reserved around people but has been making huge strides and seems to improve every day! He has gone through professional training to work on self- confidence and is able to go on walks now and trust more than he used to. Spotty is super submissive and needs a home with a very social dog that will hang out and play with him all day. He loves to play with dogs more than anything. Spotty is also house trained and crate trained. He requires a fenced yard as he can get spooked and we don’t want to take chances of him trying to flee. Spotty has endless potential if you give him the time and patience he needs and deserves to come out of his shell! -------- Spotty is estimated to be about 1.5 years old and 45 pounds. He was found as a stray in SC and was completely petrified at the shelter. He sat in a corner shaking and had to be carried just to move out of his kennel. He came to us very nervous and shy but with the help of his canine friends, he is slowly learning to trust and thriving in his foster home. He has also met and done training with our trainer where he is now comfortable going for walks on a leash and exploring the outdoors!   Spotty gains comfort from other dogs, so he requires a home with a friendly resident dog to help show him the ropes. Spotty would do best in a home without young children as he is still gets timid around new people and retreats. With time and patience, he will show his new family how goofy and happy he really is. All he needs is someone who is understands that just needs a little time to know he is safe. His best quality..... he is AMAZING with other dogs and wants to be their best friend. If you have a dog that has been wanting a sibling, Spotty is your guy!   To adopt Spotty, please apply on our website! www.keytolionsheart.org/adopt   Please note we cannot guarantee the breed or adult size of any of our dogs. All of our dogs are working on their crate and house training. November 4, 2024, 12:43 pm

Story
Meet Mooney! He is an incredibly smart, 48 lb, 5 year old cattle dog mix who was given up by his previous owner due to her illness. He loves people, fetching/catching balls and sticks, playing with his doggie friends and being a goofball. The sofa is his favorite piece of furniture, but he will settle in a crate, on a cool wood floor, lounge in a water trough or snooze in the car. In spite of being nearly middle-aged, he still has lots of bounce and energy to run, jump and explore. He has been introduced to some agility work, and caught on right away. Being food-motivated, training is a breeze. Mooney knows Sit, Wait, Down, Crate, Roll Over & Come. He has the intelligence and focus of a cattle dog, but mostly seeks the affection and companionship of his people. Mooney will need a large fenced yard or property to keep his active brain engaged and humans with time to keep him exercised and entertained. He is a confident dude who would love to live with other playful, balanced dogs or be an only dog. Mooney is house and crate trained and will stay right by your side on a leash if you have a bag full of treats! Mooney is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this dog is $425 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. PetConnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and the general appearance of the animal at the time they enter our system.

He's an outgoing pup who adores meeting new people and making furry friends. However, Tex prefers to be the sole dog in his household, and he kindly requests a cat-free environment, too! He will also be too much for small children. If there are kids in the home they should be 10 yrs or older.One of Tex's favorite pastimes is going for car rides, his tail wagging with excitement as he embarks on adventures with his beloved humans. Plus, he's mastered the art of crate training, willingly retreating to his cozy den upon command.Although Tex is an active fellow, he's adaptable and could happily reside in an apartment setting as long as he receives ample exercise and mental stimulation. He's hoping to find a home with someone experienced in handling dogs, someone who understands his needs and is ready to embark on this journey with him.Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training.

Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Sweet girl looking for her forever home! JENNIE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:    Jennie       Best Guess for Breed:    Red Heeler/Australian Cattle Dog mix    Best Guess for Age:    5 years as of June 2024       Gender:    Female Approximate Weight:    40 lbs as of Nov 2024 - she probably needs to lose few pounds Gets Along With: Other dogs, and lives with a cat!  We haven’t seen Jennie with kids, but we can find out.  Currently Living At: DC area foster home Special Adoption Considerations: Jennie 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!Jennie arrived at the shelter with a badly injured right front leg. It has been amputated. She does require medication to alleviate some of the symptoms of what we think is some arthritis.  Jennie is Looking For: Meet Jennie, a spirited and resilient 5-year-old female Red Heeler with a heart full of love and a spirit that refuses to be dampened by adversity. Despite having a partially amputated front leg, Jennie’s zest for life is unmistakable. She navigates her world with remarkable agility and joy, always eager for new adventures and opportunities to explore. Her stunning red coat and expressive eyes are just the beginning of her charm – Jennie’s affectionate nature and playful personality make her a delightful companion for anyone looking to add a touch of joy to their lives. What My Foster Says About Me: Sweet, sweet Jennie despite everything she has been through is the sweetest dog we’ve ever cared for. She looks at you with these sweet, innocent puppy dog eyes that melt your soul. She deserves nothing more than a soft girl life, filled with endless love, blankets, and healthy treats. She’s settles into her crate effortlessly, gets along with all dogs (also loves our cat), and is the goodest girl! She’s amazing on leash and is very responsive to any redirections you may give. All she wants to do is please you and be your loving companion, with hopes you’ll love her in return. 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!
