Story
Rosa is a beautiful and intelligent Presa Canario! True to the breed, she is a bit suspicious of anything you try to make her do and is mischievous! She loves to steal her foster parents socks to play with them. In addition to socks, Rosa is generally a very playful girl - she loves to play with toys and will toss them up to play with herself, will happily play chase or fetch, and just loves frolicking outdoors. Rosa has an incredible story of resilience. She was found by a kind woman living in the woods behind her apartment building, between two busy roads. Rosa is named for Rosa, who fed her for 3 months but as the season change, and she had not come closer to being able to leash her, she brought in additional volunteers to help trap her. Being such a smarty-pants, it took another 2 months for Rosa to be trapped and she endured consecutive days with highs in the single digits. Since coming into care, thanks to the patience and perseverance of her fosters, she's learning to be comfortable indoors again and to trust people. She has some hand shy-ness and is gradually increasing the size of her "safe space". Rosa is happy to follow her people anywhere when leashed up. She is completely potty trained and is a very polite and quiet house guest. Rosa is working with a trainer to work on her general fear of the human world and her desire to flee from anything that may seem scary to her. She is very fearful of sudden sounds and movements so going slow is a must. She's tolerant of handling and will happily jump in the car to head out on any adventures you desire! Recently, Rosa has made a dog friend! She can be overwhelmed by rude, pushy, barky dogs but in general, she exhibits positive body language and interest in doggos and we believe she would thrive in a home with a respectful, confident, friendly pup. Everyone that has met Rosa has described her as having an incredibly sweet temperament. She is affection-seeking and loves to have her head rubbed and scratched. She'll even nuzzle you for more! Rosa continues to progress at a fantastic pace, but any dog with this history requires incredible patience and kindness to help them reacclimate to living in a human run world. Rosa will be an incredibly rewarding addition to any home, who will provide joy and laughter for her humans!

Story
Polo is a 7 yo pure breed Cane Corso. Is he super affectionate and believes he is a lap dog. He is a super good guard dog and loves females. He is house broken and knows commands like sit, down, paw, upstairs, downstairs, water, drink, eat, backup, gentle, and can halfway rollover if you ask him. Once you pet him you pretty much must continue to pet him. Did I mention he is very affectionate. It really breaks my heart to have to surrender him. His original owner abandoned him, so he has some separation anxiety. He is really good with females and takes his time to warm up to males (trauma). He is a goofy and again, did I mention that he is super affectionate. Loves cuddles and to be touch. He doesn’t know what personal space it. But who doesn’t want this lovable guy on the.

Raine is looking forward to her new adventure and all the wonderful experiences that adoption brings!

When playtime wraps up, Raine enjoys burrowing under the covers, where she can completely disappear!

Raine is also getting comfortable in her crate, happily settling in whether the gate is open or closed when her foster is around. With a bit of patience and training, she'll soon feel at ease in her crate even when left alone. If you're looking for a loving and playful companion who's ready to fill your days with joy and snuggles, Raine is the perfect match for you! Come meet her and see how she can brighten your life!

Story
Please contact Kady Hammer (KadyH@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.the best and longest holiday you'll ever have! HOLIDAY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:   Holiday     Best Guess for Breed:  Anatolian shepherd mix    Best Guess for Age:  3 years as of May 2025     SEX:  Female   Approximate Weight: 49.6 lbs as of 5/2/25; she is significantly underweight at this point   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:   Texas shelter right now; will make her way to Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus on 5/17 for heartworm treatment and then on to the DC area!   Special adoption considerations: Holiday is a truly Lucky Dog. Although she has tested positive for heartworms, treatment has been scheduled! 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 talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process.    Holiday is Looking For:  Her forever home. This sweetie landed a shelter as far south in Texas as you can get, heartworm positive and significantly underweight. She's slammed the book shut on that chapter and has opened a new one - one where she has her own humans, a family who cares for her and loves her. One where she gets to go on sniffy walks and spend plenty of time outside and just enjoy life.Going by her face and her body, she likely has some Anatolian shepherd in her along with something else. Let your Google-fu shine strong as you research Anatolian shepherds.That breed loves their family, their humans. Utterly loyal. Holiday has so much to offer her forever family. What do you say? Is Holiday the one for your home and your heart?   What My Foster Says About Me:  We will update this once she has spent time in foster care.    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 $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.  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!!!!    Sponsors help Lucky Dog support the many dogs we save.  To learn more about sponsorship, please contact   info@luckydoganimalrescue.org   .  May 4, 2025, 9:25 am
