Please contact Destiny Sibert (DestinyS@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Shy Boy Looking for a Safe Haven & Home WAVE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!   Name:   Wave      Best Guess for Breed: Basset hound mix  Best Guess for Age:  1 year as of February 2024       SEX: Male   Approximate Weight:  20 lbs    Gets Along With:  Wave does well with other dogs and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog. We haven't seen him with cats but he can be tested. Because he is shy, we do not recommend a home with children under the age of 12.    Currently Living at:  DC area foster home   Special adoption considerations:   Because Wave is shy, he needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog. Due to his shy personality, we do not recommend him for a home with children under the age of 12.   About Wave:  Wave is looking for a fresh start with patient, supportive humans.    A Tale of Resilience:Wave and his brother, Riptide, escaped from a challenging hoarding situation. While Riptide has found his forever home, Wave is still on the journey to finding his. Despite his past, Wave is slowly but surely overcoming his lack of socialization and learning about the world around him.  Building Bravery: City life may be overwhelming for Wave initially. The hustle and bustle of urban environments can be daunting for a dog who hasn't seen much beyond his previous surroundings. However, with a patient adopter by his side, Wave can gradually build his bravery and confidence.   Friendly and Submissive: Wave is a friendly soul who gets along well with other dogs. He tends to be submissive in nature, making him an excellent companion for both canine and human friends alike.    Treat Lover and Snuggle Expert: Wave is highly motivated by treats, making him a joy to train and reward. But his greatest pleasure comes from snuggling up with his favorite humans. He's a big-hearted boy with an endless capacity for love and affection.  Adoption Information: Are you and your current dog able to help Wave on his journey to bravery? If you have the patience and love to offer this gentle soul, consider opening your heart and home to Wave. Fill out an adoption application here: https://www.luckydoganimalrescue.org/adopt/adoption-process What My Foster Says About Me:   Wave is slowly opening up! He's a gentle little boy and the ultimate snuggler. He loves to be held on our laps and soaks up affection. He's also treat-motivated, which will help make training easier once he gains a bit more confidence. Wave was initially trained on piddle pads and uses them reliably, which would make him great for an apartment.  Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption.

Please contact Sarah Maraschky (sarahm@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.CAN be fed after midnight! GIZMO NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Gizmo        Best Guess for Breed:  Basset hound and terrier mix   Best Guess for Age:  2 years        SEX:  Male   Approximate Weight:   35 lbs   Gets Along With:   Other dogs! Gizmo has experience living with cats in his foster home. We are happy to discuss tips for introducing him to the kitties in your home! Due to his shy personality, he may not go to a home with children under the age of 12.    Currently Living at:  DC area foster home.  Special adoption considerations: Because Gizmo is shy, he needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog. Due to his shy personality, we do not recommend him for a home with children under the age of 12.   Gizmo is Looking For:  His forever home! Gizmo is so sweet and - just look at those short and stubby legs - he is incredibly cute! He would love to trot through the world with confidence, enjoying all the adventures his new humans can dream up! To get there, he needs extra patient and loving adopters who understand he has not gotten enough experience in new places yet, and a welcoming resident dog who can show him how to dog. Obedience school will help build his braves as well.  Gizmo most of all wants to know he is safe and loved and under his own roof for all his days. He has so much love and loyal companionship to offer in exchange. Best of all - he CAN be bathed and CAN be fed after midnight. What do you say? Does this sweet shy boy get his fresh start with you? What My Foster Says About Me: Gizmo is very mellow, likes to run in the yard (AND MAN IS HE FAST), roll on his bed, he has the most HYSTERICAL little strut. He's doing very well. He had few accidents in the crate the first day which have been sorted out, and we have been accident free since. He did chew up one of the cats' favorite toys but you win some, you lose some.

Basset Hound Mutt

Female, 11 mos
Rockville, MD
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Phoebe - Basset Mix - young (10 months as of February) - female/spayed - 40 pounds - black and white short coat With her hopeful big smile, her floppy ears that look as if she dipped them in a can of paint, and a movement style that her foster mom describes as “lumbering, clumsy, literally no grace to her movements”, Phoebe is as irresistible as it gets. This sturdy, long, low-rider came into care after inspiring a torrent of concern in rural West Virginia. Since then she has melted hearts with her gentle, sweet nature and her abject love of snuggling. Training-wise, Phoebe is what we call at Hedgesville Hounds a “blank slate.” This only means that she was never taught. But she is an eager and willing learner. Character-wise: Phoebe possesses wonderful traits that we cannot “train” into a dog. She is inordinately gentle, loving, responsive, and kind by nature. Adopter-wise: Phoebe will flourish with adopters who understand her need for consistency, security, safety, and encouragement, and will themselves find joy in guiding her. What does this mean in practical terms? It may help to start with Phoebe’s back story. Phoebe was abandoned in rural West Virginia in the depth of winter. She was cold, hungry, and sick, but she eluded capture by the very people she longed to approach for help because she was also frightened, and she did not know how to “bridge the gap” and get to safety. Eager to help a struggling dog who could not come to them, dedicated Animal Control officers set a humane trap, and Phoebe, who was very hungry, entered it. It is hard to imagine what might have gone through Phoebe’s mind when officers approached the trap once she had been captured. And for us, that moment exemplifies the most touching part of Phoebe’s character. The dog who emerged from that trap was…. grateful. Overjoyed, relieved, and grateful to be warm and to be held. Cuddling and snuggling are mainstays of what we call Things Phoebe Wants Most in the World. Phoebe is a beautiful example of a dog’s capacity to trust and love humans even after those bonds of faith have been broken. At Hedgesville Hounds we marvel every day at the courage and faith that inspire both dogs and people to bridge the gaps of broken bonds, to begin over, and to learn together how to build a lasting bond. Phoebe’s adopters will need to be that kind of special people to this wonderfully special dog. They will need to continue to support Phoebe and guide her development in bridging gaps. Training-wise, Phoebe understands “sit” and “crate”. She is not keen on “crate” but she bravely cooperates. She is working diligently on her house-training skills, which she never learned because it was not possible for her. At the time of her capture, Phoebe suffered from a severe and aggressive urinary infection of longstanding, as well as Lyme disease, both of which we are treating. We suspect that whoever abandoned her might have confused her medical condition with a behavioral issue, and imagined that she was too stubborn to learn manners, and that may be why she was dropped off. Phoebe’s UTI has now resolved and the Lyme disease is responding to treatment. She was recently spayed and is fully vaccinated. Phoebe loves the dog and cat in her foster home. She has not yet met any children, but her foster mom is confident that Phoebe’s sweet and gentle nature would apply to children. Probably not to pet rodents, based on observations of Phoebe’s reaction to squirrels and rabbits. Her eye contact is open, soft, and direct. Phoebe’s energy level is fairly low indoors, and moderate outdoors when playing with her foster home’s resident dog. Ideally, Phoebe’s adoptive home would have a fenced yard, as she is still learning leash skills and she loves to run and play. Her humans ideally would be at home more than they would be away from home, and would lead a fairly consistent and quiet lifestyle. By this, we don’t mean that they need to whisper and tip-toe, but they will need to be aware that Phoebe is soaking up training while she relies on “reading the room”. She instinctually recognizes the difference between happy loud laughter and angry or mean human exchanges. We do not recommend that Phoebe reside in an apartment or townhouse because her bark is a big, bellowing howl. She does not use this voice often or excessively. Phoebe is currently welcomed on the sofa, and the reassurance that she is joyfully and lovingly welcomed there is translating into her confidence to make longer, braver forays into the world of new people, with whom she is sometimes initially timid. Phoebe rides well in a car and enjoys going on adventures with her people. Her leash skills are coming along. She pulls minimally but still needs time and repetition to understand expectations. She will need continued exposure, reassurance, and training as she builds this confidence and understanding. What we know for certain is that Phoebe will love her new family with immense devotion. And that her sweet and gentle nature will reward a positive and patient training style. In many ways, Phoebe is still a very young puppy with all the vulnerability and innocence that implies. For an adopter who sees her honest, eager, responsive, and incredibly loving heart as an opportunity to build a lifelong bond, Phoebe guarantees that she is willing to keep bridging the gaps. click here to send a non-binding application

Story
ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/13460Hey there! My name is Rascal! I am about 6.5 years old and 60 pounds (I will be taking some extra walks so that foster mom and I can take off a few pounds to get ready for Spring). I look like a beagle/hound mix. I have a sweet temperament and am a quiet, friendly, curious boy. I seem to be crate trained (but I'm fine sleeping on a dog bed at night) and would love to sleep with my person if they let me. I am housebroken and love going on walks. I do the happy dance when my leash comes out! I am also happy lounging around after taking a walk or playing in the yard with my foster's hound. I sleep through the night and will let you know when I'm up for the day! I've gotten along with everyone I have met so far, including other dogs. I will make a wonderful companion for a lucky family!
