My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please contact Kady Hammer (KadyH@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.energetic young floof seeking active home!

RED NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name: Red          Best Guess for Breed:  Australian shepherd and border collie mix 

Best Guess for Age:   10 months as of April 2024       SEX: Male

 

Approximate Weight:  48 lbs as of 3/11/24; he is still growing!

 

Gets Along With:   Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats but he can be tested. Red has lived with a teenager!

 

Currently Living at:  DC area foster home

 

Red is Looking For:   His forever family!  Red's beautiful, fluffy coat covers a high-octane, high-energy body! Going by appearances alone, we think this dog is a herding breed mix, and those dogs can run all day. Red might need a lot of  just that - activity. Mere daily walks and/or time in the yard won't be enough. Red is looking for daily opportunities to run and play with other dogs and lots of additional mental stimulation / enrichment. He would likely benefit from being one of those sporty dogs who does advanced obedience training, agility, or nose work! 

Dogs who don't get all the physical activity and mental enrichment they need will find a way to release their energy in undesirable ways (think chewing on that new couch or pair of shoes you just bought). If Red is indeed the breeds he appears to be, he will need an adopter who loves being active as much as he does and wants a buddy for fun adventures.

 

 

 

What he wants as much as he wants to be active is to know he is safe and loved. What do you say? Can you see yourself stroking his fluffy coat while you chill with him after a long fun day together?

 

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

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption process begins when you submit an adoption application either online or at an adoption event. The individual responsible for the dog you are interested in adopting - a position we call the “adoption coordinator” - will then set up a time to discuss your application over the telephone. The adoption coordinator will check your vet reference to make sure all current and past pets were kept up-to-date with their shots and medical care. The adoption coordinator will also set up a home visit with one of our trained volunteers. That individual will come to your home to ensure that it is a safe environment, to confirm that everyone in the home is on board with adopting a dog, and to discuss any other questions you may have about dog adoption!

Go meet their pets

Our adoption events are held each weekend. A schedule of times and locations can be found at www.luckydoganimalrescue.org.
