Please contact Connie Kiggins (conniek@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet baby girl seeking happily ever after! OLIVE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! 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? What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once she has spent time in foster care. 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. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament. Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!

Come meet BratwuRst 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: Bratwurst Best Guess for Breed: Basset hound and terrier mix Best Guess for Age: 3 years as of September 2025 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 28 lbs Gets Along With: Bratwurst would do best in a home without cats, young kids, or other dogs. Currently Living at: DC area boarding facility. Check out this video of Bratwurst: https://youtube.com/shorts/4-q1HiNIjig. Watch this video of Bratwurst showing off his leash walking skills! Bratwurst is Looking For: Her forever family! 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.

Story

Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html ***************** PJ is a 2-year-old Beagle with a heart as big as his floppy ears. He’s intelligent, quiet, cuddly, and friendly with everybody — dogs, cats, and humans of all ages…. He is very sweet and trusting, assumes every passing human is going to be his next best friend. He is a fantastic leash walker, eager to great friends and neighbors and sniff all the things. His favorite hobbies are burrowing in blankets, taking naps, dinnertime and occasionally zooming around the house like he just remembered he’s a dog. He doesn’t bark (why bark when everybody is a friend?) There’s no drama with PJ - just naps, love, and goofy blanket antics. He has been recovering from heartworms in our foster home and we have had to keep him quiet and without much playtime, but we think that his favorite way to play is a simply running around a secure fenced in yard with his family and tug of war with his blankets or working on a dog treat puzzle. He hasn’t shown interest in typical dog toys. PJ would be perfect for a multi-pet home (but maybe skip the toddlers unless you’re okay with him “helping” finish their snacks.) **BECAUSE OF OUR REQUIREMENT FOR A HOME VISIT, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ADOPT TO HOMES IN THE NORTHERN VA / MARYLAND / DC METRO AREA** We have adoption events EVERY SATURDAY from 12-3 p.m. Please note that not all dogs can attend every event, so if you are interested in meeting a particular dog, please complete a no-obligation application on our website at http://www.muttloverescue.org/application.html OR write to adopt@muttloverescue.org. Upcoming adoption events: Saturday Jan 24th - **** EVENT CANCELLED **** Saturday Jan 31st 12 - 3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280-C Hunters Wood Plaza; Reston Saturday Feb 7th 12 - 3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 11135 Lee Highway; Fairfax Saturday Feb 14th 12-3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280-C Hunters Wood Plaza Reston, VA We are always desperate for foster homes, now more than ever. If you are interested in fostering, please complete an application... unless you are a previous adopter/foster, then you can just contact us via phone (703-988-2608) or email (adopt@muttloverescue.org) to tell us which dog you want to foster!

Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html ***************** Honey was rescued from the same shelter as Dolly in South Carolina.

Foster Homes Needed!

Poor Bailey has been very traumatized by losing her home and, while she is adjusting to her new life with Mutts, a new home where she can learn to trust would be wonderful for her.
