My story

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

Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.is sweet puppers! not famous deceased artist!

DAVINCI NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name:  DaVinci      Best Guess for Breed:  Poodle mx

 

Best Guess for Age:   5 years as of October 2025     SEX:    Male

 

Approximate Weight:   45 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 foster home

 

Special adoption considerations: DaVinci 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!
 

DaVinci is Looking For:  His forever home! He landed in the shelter through no fault of his own and is eager to once again have his own humans. Sniffy walks, all the adventures his family can dream up, and cuddles at the end of fun days together - yes, please! At about five years of age, he's in his prime as an adult dog - well out of the puppy yips, but has all that awesome energy for world exploration. 

And - that coat. It's high maintenance. He wants daily brushing and regular professional grooming, please. Mats hurt!

 

In exchange, he promises love and loyalty for all his days. What do you say? Is he the one you see by your side?

What My Foster Says About Me:   We will update this once he has spent time in foster care.  

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.
