My story

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

Please contact Melissa A Aten (melissaa@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Hound dogs are the best dogs!

SAMUEL NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!

 

 

Name:  Samuel            Best Guess for Breed:  Shepherd, Hound  

 

Best Guess for Age:  1 year as of Jan. 2026            SEX:  Male

 

Estimated Weight:  71 lbs as of Jan. 2026

 

Gets Along With:   Other dogs! Samuel is a big and energic boy so would probably do best without very young kids.

 

Currently Living at: DC area foster home

 

Samuel is Looking For: Well, hello!! I'm Samuel. I'm pretty cute, if I do say so myself. I'm a young pup, so I can't wait to soak up all the wonderful things this world has to offer: walks? Yes, please! Trips to the dog park? Oh, please, yes! Laps to snuggle on? Check! I would also love, love, love to have regular access to treats and belly rubs. It would probably be a good idea to enroll me in a training class or two so I can grow up to be the best good boy ever. What do you say? Can you make my dreams come true?

What My Foster Says About Me: Meet this big-hearted, 71-lb hound who is equal parts playful goofball and professional cuddle companion. He’s a happy, friendly guy who loves all people and truly believes everyone exists to be his best friend. He’s very food-motivated and will do just about anything for a treat (training included - he knows his stuff but sometimes needs a little reminder ).

This energetic pup would thrive with an active, adult partner who enjoys runs, games of tug, and enthusiastic fetch sessions with his rope or tough stuffies. He also takes his chew time very seriously and loves settling in with a good dog chew after playtime. 

And then there’s his other favorite time of day: bedtime. By 7:30 pm, he’s officially off duty. Once he’s comfy on the couch or bed, good luck moving him - he becomes hilariously floppy, dead weight, and fully committed to rest. He will let you move him, but he leaves the work to you. When he’s not playing, you’ll find him curled up sleeping, preferably touching you at all times. He wants to be with his people 24/7 and will happily soak up all the love you have to give.

With his soulful puppy-dog eyes and sweet hound heart, he's ready to show you all he wants is your love.

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.
