My story

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

Please contact Lowell Nelson (lowelln@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.It's how I like to play!

SCRAPPY  NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name:    Scrappy       Best Guess for Breed:    Terrier/Lab Mix  

Best Guess for Age:    1 year as of 5/4/24       Gender:    Male

Approximate Weight:   18 lbs

Gets Along With: Other dogs;  not sure about cats or kids yet, but we can find out!

Currently Living At:  Shelter--needs a foster or forever home! 

Special Adoption Considerations:  Scrappy is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky!  They are 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 will be placed at random, in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, this pup will be eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care.  Post treatment, we will work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test 6 months after treatment concludes, followed by a second test at 9 months. 

Scrappy is Looking For:  A loving family who can keep up with a scrappy guy like me!  I'm ready to burst into your life with lots of running and playing, and cuddling once I've worn myself (and you) out!  I'll probably need a little help learning some manners, but I promise to be an attentive student!  Will you take me home?  

What My Foster Says About Me:  Updates when he arrives in DC!

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.

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.
