Come meet Olive and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (Jan. 25th) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Silver Spring, MD (12020 Cherry Hill Rd, Silver Spring, MD 20904)!   Name:   Olive         Best Guess for Breed:    Basset hound mix   Best Guess for Age:  3.5 months as of 1/8/26           SEX:    Female   Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!):   13 lbs as of 1/7/26   Gets Along With:        Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs, cats and kids so long as they receive patience and proper training.   Currently Living at: DC area foster home   Special Adoption Considerations:       Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy.  Olive is Looking For:   Hi! Me and my sisters (there are four of us - Opal, Olivia, Olive, and Oakley) are satos from Puerto Rico. (Yes, that means our best guess for breed is just that - a guess - because we're elongated with short legs!) Growing up together has been great but now we're ready to split up and get our own human families in the DC area - we've talked it over and this is what we want: Play time - all those puppy zoomies! Snuggles and cuddles! World exploration! I promise to give you so many adoring gazes and kisses, and so much love and loyalty for all my days. What do you say? Do I get to grow up with you?

Puppy Vetting Requirements:        Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be “fully” vaccinated. It is the adopter’s responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog.      Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog!  TO ADOPT:       The adoption fee for this puppy is $485, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter.    If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online bit.ly/adoptaluckydog   Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption.

This absurdly cute low-low rider is in her prime as a young adult dog and is eager to explore the world by her humans' side - and to get all those snuggles and cuddles after a long day together. She promises adoring gazes (with or without head tilt), happy little tail wags, and loyal companionship for all her days in exchange. What do you say? Is she the one you see way down there by your side?What My Foster Says About Me:  Bratwurst is the sweetest, most loving, most snuggly girl! Don't let her size fool you, she is an energetic little lady who loves to explore, go on walks, and is doing well learning her leash skills! She has done well with meeting new people. She already knows 'sit' and has done well with housetraining. She does like the crate but much prefers sleeping in the bed. Bratwurst is super smart and would love a family who can commit to keeping her busy with training and give her lots of structure. She loves her people and would love to join your family for lots of adventures and cuddles! 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 $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.

Farley

Beagle Hound (Unknown Type)

Male, Adult
Arlington, VA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This handsome fellow is good with people, but he has never learned how to play with other dogs. He’s walking well on a harness and leash. He loves going on walks (where he won't encounter other dogs) and he’s shown that he enjoys going for a swim in the water. Farley loves getting one-on-one attention. Due to his history (see below), he will never be a dog that can go to a dog park, but he would love a fenced backyard to run and play in. If you’d like to have a single dog to cuddle and have no cats in your home, Farley would be a perfect buddy for you. Farley spent nearly all his life at the end of a chain. He was attacked by an animal, perhaps a dog, and received terrible injuries on his neck. Due to his history, Farley is reactive around other dogs while on a leash. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MEET FARLEY, PLEASE SUBMIT A MYM FORM AND WE WILL ARRANGE A SPECIAL MEETING. FARLEY DOES NOT COME TO REGULAR ADOPTIONS. Gender:  Neutered Male DOB: Approx. 1/23/2019 Current size; 31 pounds   PLEASE NOTE:  we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA. Please see our adoption guidelines at  https://spcanova.org/about-us/adoption-policies/. October 11, 2025, 7:28 pm

To learn more about Gwyneth, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Gwyneth will be at one of our adoption events this weekend! Visit our event page (https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/) to see which one—event listings are usually updated on Fridays with attending dogs. Gwyneth (aka Gwyneth Paltrow) is a calm, cozy kind of star. With her velvety dark coat, warm brown undertones, and soft, expressive eyes, she gives off serene, gentle energy—like a pup who knows how to relax in the spotlight. Lounging comfortably and taking everything in, Gwyneth has an easygoing presence that feels soothing and sweet, the type who’s happiest curled up nearby while you go about your day. Gwyneth is part of the “A-listers” litter, born in our care after her mom—a 25 lb beagle—arrived pregnant from a farm on the Virginia/West Virginia border. With a small poodle dad, this Beagle/Poodle mix is likely to grow into an affectionate, intuitive companion who enjoys both peaceful downtime and meaningful connection. Raised in a loving foster home from the very start, Gwyneth is ready to bring a little star-quality calm and comfort into her forever home.

Clint (aka Clint Eastwood) has that strong, stoic presence—even at this tiny stage. With his sturdy stance, soulful eyes, and handsome dark coat accented by a white muzzle, chest, and little white toes, he looks like a pup who means business… until he melts your heart with his quiet sweetness. He gives off steady, grounded vibes, the kind of guy who’s content to stand close by and take comfort in your company. Clint is part of the “A-listers” litter, born in our care after his mom—a 25 lb beagle mix—arrived pregnant from a farm on the Virginia/West Virginia border. With a small poodle dad in the mix, he’s likely to grow into a loyal, intelligent companion who appreciates both gentle adventures and relaxed cuddle time. Raised in a nurturing foster home, Clint is getting a wonderful start and is ready to star as someone’s dependable, lifelong sidekick.
