I am Looking For: My loving forever family! Hi! I'm Pilsner, and I am a cute little kitty! I won’t ask for much- just some love, cuddles and lots of toys so I can run and play and be my kitty self. 

What my Foster Says About MeWhat Makes Pilsner Special

This sweet boy is more than just playful—he’s also deeply affectionate and emotionally connected. While Pilsner initially experienced separation anxiety, it has steadily improved over time, and he’s becoming more comfortable being on his own. During those moments when he wants your love and attention, he’ll gently nudge you with his head—his special way of saying, “I’m here and I adore you.”

Pilsner is also quite the character when it comes to his quirks. One of his favorite pastimes? Drinking from the running faucet at the bathroom sink. He’ll hop up, wait patiently, and sip from the stream—it’s just one of his many endearing routines that’ll make you smile.

He thrives on companionship and wants to be close to his person. Be prepared for a transition period where he may cry when left alone, but with time and patience, he’s learning to self-soothe and adjust.

Pilsner’s high energy can lead to playful (and sometimes overly enthusiastic) nips, so gentle redirection is helpful. On the plus side, he’s cooperative for nail trims and thrives in structured routines. 


Pilsner Pros:

  • Center of attention and your shadow.

  • Enjoys exploring and playing.

  • A true acrobat with energy to spare.

  • Loves attention and gives heart-melting head nudges.

  • Drinking from faucets and making you laugh is part of the deal.

Things to Consider:

  • Separation Anxiety – Seems to be temporary during the initial adjustment period.

  • Playful Biting – Comes from excitement; needs gentle redirection.

What the Shelter Says About Me: Hi I'm Pilsner! I am still pretty shy but am the sweetest boy that absolutely loves chin scratches. I'm in search of my forever home where I can sunbathe all day and sleep on a nice big couch whenever I please.

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.
