MUFASA NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!
Name: Mufasa Best Guess for Breed: German Shepherd mix
Best Guess for Age: 2 years as of Oct 2025 SEX: Male
Approximate Weight: 60lbs as of Oct 2025
Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!
Currently Living at: Shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area
Special adoption considerations: Mufasa is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment.
We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!
Mufasa is Looking For: A loving home where he can be part of the family. He’s ready to give his love in exchange for long sniffy walks, frequent dog park visits, and belly rubs. Oh - and doggy school too so he can show you how smart he is! Can’t you see this handsome guy snuggling by your side?
What My Foster Says About Me: Coming soon!
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
