Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.young girl looking for her forever family! TRINITY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!   Come meet Trinity and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (02/02) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Alexandria, VA (3351 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, VA 22305)!     Name: Trinity       Best Guess for Breed: Australian cattle dog and blue heeler mix     Best Guess for Age:   2 years        SEX:    Female   Approximate Weight:   50 lbs   Gets Along With:    Trinity has lived with other dogs and kids before. We haven’t seen Trinity with cats, but she can be tested! Special Adoption Considerations: Because Trinity is shy, she needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog. We would be cautious placing Trinity in a home with children under 12 years old because young kids can often scare shy dogs with their level of energy or noise.  Children would need to be supervised closely to not leave doors open and should never walk the dog without an adult holding the leash.  We would be happy to discuss this more in depth with any applicant.   Check out videos of Trinity here: https://youtu.be/Fy-mDvW6ZKo, https://youtu.be/4f65xnUJE2s and https://youtu.be/0CD-rPXoo6U.   Currently Living at:   DC area foster home   All About Trinity:     Trinity is a very joyful and fun-loving dog. She is very shy when initially meeting new people and dogs, but warms up after getting to know everyone, especially if the other resident dogs are confident around new people. She obeys the lay down and sit command for treats.  She is a proud graduate of Wholistic Dogs Good Dog 101 training!  Trinity is very loving and affectionate and has been amazing with my elderly mother. She loves to cuddle up with her and get lots of love. She loves to be right with her people and will stick by your side. She enjoys playing with her toys in the house, prancing and tossing them in the air, jumping up, and pouncing on them. Outside, Trinity is always up for walks in the neighborhood, but can easily be spooked by unfamiliar noises.  She goes 'potty' best when out on a walk on a leash. She isn't fond of our townhome's small backyard, but if you have a fenced in yard, she would love it!   Trinity is very social and loves playing with other dogs, she does need a slow intro to other pups as she is shy initially.  She loves doggie day care too. Trinity is cautious around new people when out on walks, as well as with lots of street traffic and loud and sudden noises. While these can startle Trinity she settles fairly easily with some reassurance and would do well with continued exposure to new experiences. Trinity is comfortable with her crate and can sleep through the night in it, but much prefers the comfort of your bed!  We rarely have to crate her when we are away from home.     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 $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.

Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet, sweet girl ISO forever! JENNIE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Jennie and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (02/02) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Alexandria, VA (3351 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, VA 22305)!  Name:  Jennie      Best Guess for Breed:  Red heeler/cattle dog mix Best Guess for Age:   5.5 years as of January 2025       Gender:   Female Approximate Weight: 36 lbs Gets Along With: Jennie is amazing with other dogs. She has lived with a cat - and a guinea pig! We haven't seen her with kids but she can be tested.  Currently Living At: DC area foster home All about Jennie: Jennie is one of those amazing, special dogs that make you think 'we don't deserve dogs.' She loves her fosters almost beyond belief, and her fosters love her the same way. This is what one of her two fosters says about her: 'When I go out for a couple of hours, she is so excited to see me when I come home and will do baby whines in that 'I am so excited you're back!' way. She is obsessed with licking hands, disinterested in toys, loves snuffle mats and sleeps in the funniest positions & snores the most adorable snore ever. She is perfect in the home. I live in an apartment and I've never heard her bark. She hasn't had an accident in the home. Her recall is fantastic in off leash grassy areas whether I say Jennie or J. Basically she is my perfect work from home partner and is always down to do whatever I do. She lives half of the time with a cat and the other half with my guinea pig, Nibbles, who she likes to watch eat hay & veggies - she is fabulous with both AND with other dogs. At adoption event, she radiates a magnetic and nurturing energy. Shy dogs at those events approach her and want to lay with her on her bed, and she happily shares it with them.'   And this is what the other foster says: '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.'   Her fosters can't say enough good things about her. And why does she make us think 'we don't deserve dogs?' The way she is so sweet, so loving, so tender despite what she went through. She landed in a far southern Texas shelter with an awful injury to her leg/paw, and the leg had to be amputated. She's still rebuilding strength and stamina from that. She was also heartworm positive and had to go through treatment.    Jennie deserves all the best. She'd love a home where she can get to enjoy running around in the grass (hard surfaces can be tough for her). She isn't a typical heeler mix (yes, we've seen the jokes about how heelers are the trailer and beer version of the Belgian Malinois) - she has a more gentle energy. Most of all, she would love a home where her humans recognize how special she is and give her what she needs to live her best life in exchange for endless love and adoration and loyalty.   If you think Jennie is exactly what you are looking for - come meet her!  Special Adoption Considerations: Jennie arrived with an injured front leg and had to have it amputated. She gets along well on three legs now. She will need life long care and medication to manage pain and arthritis in her hind quarters (mainly lower back and hind legs). She is predisposed to knee and hips issues and they have to help bear the burden of her missing front limb, so she gets a little tired some days. She has been doing great on a newly modified treatment plan that includes a low dose of steroids to help inflammation and a glucosamine injection every few weeks. This may need to be modified over time with routine check ups with a vet. We've been working diligently to predict her long term prognosis and Jennie's happy spirit keeps us optimisticHeartworm Information: 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.  Jennie has finished the treatment and activity restriction phases. She is now awaiting the 6-month check.  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.

SUNNY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!   Name:    Sunny         Best Guess for Breed:   Australian cattle dog - red heeler type mix   Best Guess for Age:  6 months as of January 2025          SEX:  Male   Estimated Weight:   35 lbs as of 1/26/25; he's still growing!   Gets Along With:   Other dogs! We haven't seen him with kids or cats but he can be tested if you have them.   Currently Living at:   Texas shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here. Sunny is Looking For:   Her forever home! Through no fault of his own this cutie landed in the shelter. He's at the tail end of puppyhood and hasn't seen nearly enough of the world. He's eagerly looking forward to having his own humans for romps in the park and all the adventures they can dream up - he's got all that awesome young-dog energy to burn. And dog school so he can show how super smart he is. And then pets and cuddles and belly scritches at the end of a fun day together. Most of all, though, he wants to know he's safe and loved. In exchange he promises all the adoring gazes and happy tail wags he's storing up, and loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Is Sunny the one you see by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once this pup has arrived in the DC area and spent some time in foster care.

This precious girl came from one of the worst hoarding situations that we have ever dealt with. there were over 100 dogs on the property, none of them spayed or neutered. Finally, the authorities went in and they managed to get ALL of the dogs out of there. Filthy dirty situation, sick puppies, you name it. We choose to take Blossom home to our rescue because her eyes were begging us for love and attention. She was very pregnant and two weeks after arriving, she gave birth to 7 heathy puppies! Every single puppy was different, every singe puppy had a different daddy! We think that Blossom had never been paid any attention to because she was so shy. Once we weaned her babies we took her out of the nursery and into the house where she just blossomed! That's how she got her name! Her puppies have long since been adopted and now it's her turn. We actually did a DNA on her and it came back with 4 different breeds, which we kind of figured from the beginning. Australian Cattle Dog, Labrador Retriever, Pit Bull, Boxer. Yes, she is truly a "Mutt!: She is extremely smart and will do anything for a treat. I want her to have a nice fenced yard with lots of room to run. Cattle dogs are working dogs and they need lots of exercise! She is spayed, crate trained, fully vaccinated, microchipped and house broken, truly a gem! Ready for immediate transport. ADOPTION FEE $400 PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION!

Lilo is a precious baby waiting to find her forever home! Lilo will probably be a medium size dog and will make a great family dog. She is being foster in a home with children. She has a lovely disposition and is very playful. She is available via ground transportation. Located in Texas
