Story
Please contact Kady Hammer (KadyH@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Young boy ISO love and fresh start!COLTON Estimated Age: 3 years as of June 2026     Best Guess for Breed:  Shepherd/Malinois mix       Approximate Weight:   49 lbs   Gets Along With:  Colton does well with other dogs! We have tested him with some of the cats at the shelter, and he did not seem particularly interested in chasing or pouncing on the cat. While this is a positive sign that Colton could live with a cat, he/she has not done so to our knowledge. We haven't seen him with kids and are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently available for adoption in the DC area! Check out cute photos and videos of Colton on our foster Instagram account: @luckydogrescues   View more cute photos of Colton here:  https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBU9TT;    Check out these videos of Colton:https://youtu.be/vdXH_XBNHfk, https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iAqlI3UmaJ4?feature=share, and https://youtu.be/wFFbTPUP3Eo.   Colton is Looking For:    His forever home! Colton wants nothing more than to trot through the world with all the confidence of a well-loved dog.  Thing is, he hasn't seen nearly enough of the world yet and right now he's shy. He needs extra loving and patient adopters who will help him explore at his pace, and a welcoming resident dog who will show him how to dog.   What My Foster Says About Me:   Colton is a really funny and silly dog. He absolutely loves to play and enjoys running around. Once Colton gets to know other dogs, he loves being 'one of the dogs' and thrives in the companionship of other dogs. Just like with dogs, Colton needs a little bit of time to warm up to people before feeling comfortable, but eases in quickly. He has learned to sit, crate, and if you pat your chest and say 'Colton hug' he will jump up and wrap his arm around your neck. Love it!  He has excellent house manners and will ask to go out if he needs to.  If you are looking for a goofy and loving addition to your home, Colton is the dog for you. He loves cuddling up by the tv and will definitely watch cartoons if it’s playing! Loves going for walks and running and playing in big open areas. He loves giving hugs and kisses. He can be a bit shy once you get to know him but once he opens up he’s great, same goes with other pups. Overall he is a very sweet boy who just wants cuddles!   TO ADOPT:      The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and neuter. 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. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training. November 7, 2026, 7:51 am

Story
Lola loves having a job and a handler who will give her one. 4-year-old Malinois/German Shepherd mix, spayed, 76 lb. Smart, silly and affectionate, she greets you like a celebrity, flops over for belly rubs, and lives for training, treats and her people. Housetrained, crate trained, content when alone for long periods, great in the car. Knows Sit, Down, Stay (Extended), Place, Come, Heel, Leave it, Drop it, Off, Shake. I adopted Lola as a puppy in 2022. She's done board-and-train, 3 years of weekly classes and some nose work. I'm moving abroad and may move often, so she needs a stable, active home. She has minor allergies (special diet, occasional injections). She'll do best with an owner experienced with high-drive or reactive dogs, a fenced yard, daily walks and mental work. She's best as the only pet: no cats or small pets, ideally no other dogs. She is dog reactive to many dogs, often pulls on leash, and can be protective/guarding at times. Older kids are best (8 or older).
