Story
If you are interested in adopting King, please contact dogs@lostdogrescue.org Hi! I'm King. I am loving, loyal, and - ok, you made me say it - very handsome. Oh, and did I mention that I am looking for a best friend to adopt me? I like leash walks, especially in calm and quiet spaces where we can spend some quality time together without the crowds. But, I may get distracted by all of the wonderful smells because I really do need to put my nose on everything to explore the wonders of the world. Not only am I curious, I am up for a challenge! I like to run across streams, jump on logs, and hike the trails. I have lots of energy so will be sure to help keep up with your exercise plan. I even like to get in a jog from time to time. And, not to brag, but I am pretty smart. But, for the sake of all those delicious treats, I will pretend that it takes me time to master new tricks and skills. One more thing to tell you. I like to talk when I play. I hope you will come to meet me so we can play together forever, just you and me!

Story
Please contact Courtney Nobles (courtneyn@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.pretty stripey girl ISO happily ever after! ALPHA NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!   Come meet Alpha and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (Dec. 7th) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Alexandria, VA (3351 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305)!     Name:  Alpha          Best Guess for Breed:   Boxer and plott hound mix Best Guess for Age:   9 months as of December 2025          SEX:   Female   Approximate Weight: 32.4 lbs as of 12/1/25 - she likely is still growing!   Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:  DC area foster home   Alpha is Looking For:   Hi there! I'm Alpha. My sister Beta (side note here: Please do not think our names reflect our personalities. They don't. Shelter staff were just out of name ideas.) and I have enjoyed growing up together but now we're ready to split up and get our forever families! I'm young and haven't seen nearly enough of the world, so I'm looking for humans who will take me on sniffy walks and romps in parks and all the adventures they can dream up. I want to make pup pals along the way, and go to dog school too.  But most of all I want to know where I belong, that I'm safe and loved. In exchange, I promise adoring gazes and loyal companionship for all my days.  What do you say? Do I get to go home with you? What My Foster Says About Me:  Alpha was a shy pup when she first came but we quickly saw her personality shine in the home. She is a perfect blend of puppy/zoomies and Netflix and Chill, walks good on a leash, and is doing well with house breaking and crate training. She has come good way in her crate training in the last few weeks. Alpha can get nervous with new people but once she knows you, she becomes a little shadow and follows you every where. Alpha has done fine with meeting new dogs and seems pretty neutral to them for the most part. She loves chewing on a good bone!  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. 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.   Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!  Please visit us online at      www.luckydoganimalrescue.org   .    BE A FOSTER!!! Fosters make it possible for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to save and care for homeless and abandoned dogs! To learn about fostering, please contact fostering@luckydoganimalrescue.org! BE A SPONSOR!!!!

We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at: South Carolina shelter - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here!   Twinkle is Looking For:   Her forever home! Twinkle landed in the shelter through no fault of her own and is eager to once again have her own humans for long sniffy walks, romps in parks, and all the adventures they can dream up. Quality kibble and a cushy dog bed are also on her wish list but you know what? She's in her prime as a young adult dog and knows what's most important in life: Being safe and loved and under her own roof. In exchange, she promises adoring gazes and love and loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say?

Story
Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet girl ISO fresh start and love! CELESTE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Celeste and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (11/30) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Falls Church, VA (6100 Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)!   Name:    Celeste        Best Guess for Breed:    Boxer and Shepherd mix     Best Guess for Age:    1 year as of August 2025       SEX:    Female   Approximate Weight:    35 lbs   Gets Along With:  Other dogs!  We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:  DC area foster home   Special adoption considerations: Celeste is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment was provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!   Celeste is Looking For:     Celeste is a beautiful 1-year-old boxer mix with a striking brindle and white coat. Still young, she has her whole life ahead of her and is ready to share it with a family of her own. She’s looking for someone who can give her the love, guidance, and companionship she deserves as she continues to grow into the amazing dog she’s meant to be. If you’re hoping to add a loyal and loving friend to your life, Celeste may be the one for you.   What My Foster Says About Me:    Celeste is a spunky girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart! She enjoys romping around with our resident dog, though she’s still learning her playtime boundaries. She’s doing very well with potty training and proving to be very smart and eager to learn. She already knows “sit,” “down,” and has started practicing door manners. Celeste is very food-motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding. With some exercise and mental stimulation, she settles beautifully and often puts herself to sleep for a nap. She sleeps well in her crate overnight, though she’s still getting used to daytime crate time and will eventually settle with a little patience. She's been learning how to walk on leash, is very trainable, and wants to please. Celeste loves giving kisses, playing tug, and chewing on her favorite bones. She may be small, but she’s strong, sweet, and full of spirit. Celeste would thrive with a family who can give her both fun and structure as she continues to grow into her best self.

If you are interested in Aster Lee please contact dogs@lostdogrescue.org Meet Aster Lee! A girl with a big smile and an even bigger heart. Aster is a sweetheart who has been stealing the hearts of all the people she meets. Her love and excitement for life are contagious. She always brightens up the day of her human friends with her joyful and enthusiastic personality! Aster is extremely loyal and loves being close to her people. She shows her affection by leaning into you and giving you a huge smile. It's nearly impossible not to smile back! She is adventurous and enjoys hiking and going on walks, but equally enjoys cuddling on the couch. She enjoys playing with rope toys and having the zoomies in the yard, but her favorite activity is playing in the water. Whether it's the beach, a creek, or a doggy pool, Aster is the first one to dive right in! Her foster confirms she is fully house trained, is a lovely houseguest, and will even go to the door to let you know she has to go outside. She's a smart girl who knows basic commands, like sit, come, down, place, stay, heel, and she is always eager to learn more! With all these amazing skills, Aster would LOVE a nice, big backyard to practice in. What dog wouldn't? She is an independent dog looking for a great home, a big yard, and loving people. Aster Lee is seeking an experienced and loving family. She is very excited to find the forever family that she can shower with love!
