HARVEY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Come meet Harvey and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (Dec. 7th) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Alexandria, VA (3351 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305)!

 

 

Name: Harvey        Best Guess for Breed:  Lab and border collie mix

Best Guess for Age:  1 year as of April 2025         SEX:  Male

 

Approximate Weight: 37 lbs

 

Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!
 

Currently Living at: DC area boarding facility. He needs a foster or forever home.

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

 

Harvey is Looking For:  His forever family! He's got all that awesome young-dog energy and is eager to have his own humans for long sniffy walks, romps in the park, and exploring the world - he hasn't seen nearly enough of it. He'd love to make pup pals along the way, too. Quality kibble, cushy dog beds, peanut butter-filled Kongs - yes, please. But you know what he wants most of all? To know where he belongs, to know he's safe and loved for all his days.

What do you say? Is this intriguing pup (doesn't his face just give Phantom of the Opera vibes?) the one you see by your side?

 

What Shelter Staff Say About Harvey: Harvey spent some time on the Dogs Playing For Life Canine Center campus in Florida. There, he received basic training and enrichment, and socialized with other dogs. 

Harvey worked on the Sit and Place commands there. He also worked on loose leash walking and sitting at open doors, waiting to be released to go out. He also got to play with enrichment toys such as food-filled Kongs and food puzzles. He loved participating in doggie playgroup - he's very dog social. He enjoys playing chase and wrestling - he likes playing with dogs who have a similar playstyle.

What My Foster Says About Me: Harvey a very sweet boy who wants to learn, listen and please. He enjoys playing with other dogs in the dog park and finds comfort from other dogs.  He is playful at daycare.

 

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.

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.
