My story

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

Please contact Ann Marie Burns (AnnMarieB@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.the sweetest, couch-loving boy looking to bring you many tail wags!

TAILS NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!

 

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

 

Best Guess for Age:  1 year as of December 2025         SEX:   male

 

Estimated Weight:  39 pounds as of 12/7/25

Gets Along With:  Other dogs! He is also currently living with a cat in foster care and doing well with integration. We haven't seen him with younger kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!

 

Currently Living at: D.C. area foster home

 

Special Adoption Considerations: Because Tails is shy, he needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog who will show him the ropes.

Tails is Looking For:  Tails came to Lucky Dog as a tiny puppy alongside his brother—who’s since been adopted. Now, this sweet boy is still patiently waiting for his turn to find a home to call his own and create memories.

Dog parks are Tails’ happy place! He absolutely loves romping around with other pups, chasing toys, and romping through the grass. After all the excitement, he’s more than happy to curl up for some cozy snuggle time with his people.

So you might wonder—why is this fun-loving pup still searching for his forever family? Tails can be shy when meeting new people, but with a bit of patience and a kind heart, his sweet, silly personality begins to shine through.

If you have a warm home, a welcoming resident dog, and a little extra love to give, Tails would be so grateful to meet you. All he needs is a chance to show what a truly special boy he is.

What My Foster Says About Me: Tails is the perfect mix of playful energy and cozy companionship. Whether he’s zooming around the dog park or curled up beside us for a night of belly rubs and TV, he’s always ready for fun and the cuddles. His happy tail wags so hard it sets his whole butt into a joyful wiggle dance—and yes, it’s as cute as it sounds. He is currently living with a dog and cat and is very respectful with both. 

He’s got a tiny grandpa snore that'll melt your heart, and he’s a total pro at crate time—sleeping through the night and waking up ready for a day of adventure. Tails loves his time at the dog park with friends, exploring new places, and showing off his zoomies with his doggy friends. Treats (especially peanut butter Kongs and chew bones) are his love language, and he's learning fast thanks to them!

Tails  knows “sit,” “down,” “come,” and “crate,” and is doing great with basic commands!

Tails has been waiting so patiently for the right family—a home where he can take his time to warm up to people, and have a friendly dog buddy to show him the ropes and help him feel at home.

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.
