Please contact Chandler Jaffe (chandler.jaffe@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.baby pup needs a home!WINNIE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Winnie Best Guess for Breed: Chihuahua mix Best Guess for Age: 10 weeks as of 12/29/25 SEX: female Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!): 3lbs as of 12/29/25 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. Winnie is Looking For: Hiya! I'm Winnie! Me and my sister, Wilma, have loved our time in the puppy pile, but we are each ready to pack our bags and find our very own forever home! I'm looking for a home that will let me play with toys and get my puppy zoomies out and give me snuggles in between playtimes. When I'm a little older, I can't wait to explore my new neighborhood on lots of walks, and I'd really like to make a bunch of doggie friends along the way. Oh, and I should probably take a puppy obedience class or two so I can show you how smart I am. What do you say? Do you have room in your heart for me? What My Foster Says About Me: Coming soon! 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. Due to this puppy’s young age, she/he has not yet been spayed or neutered. As part of the adoption contract, it will be your responsibility, as the adopter, to ensure that this is done no later than 4/18/2026. There are NO EXCEPTIONS and NO EXTENSIONS to this date. A non-refundable spay/neuter deposit will be collected if you would like Lucky Dog to pay for this animal to be spayed/neutered at one of our low cost partner vets. 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.

Story

Herman is our “Small Dog with Big Loyalty” Hi, I’m Herman — a 5-year-old chocolate and tan Chihuahua weighing in at a perfect 10 pounds. I’m a gentle, well-behaved little guy who’s ready to find a loving, dependable home just in time for the holidays. My life took an unexpected turn when my former owner and his partner split up, and suddenly there was no place for me anymore. Through no fault of my own, I found myself without a home — but not without hope. A kind coworker made sure I stayed safe and out of the shelter, and soon after, Critter Cavalry Rescue welcomed me in and promised to help me find the forever family I deserve. I’m an easy companion to love. I’m housebroken, calm, snuggly, and respectful of my space and yours. I don’t chew things up, and I truly just want to be near my person — whether that’s curled up on the couch or keeping you company during quiet moments. I’m healthy, recently neutered, and ready to start my next chapter with someone who understands that loyalty like mine is for life. I may be small, but my heart is huge, and I promise to love you fully and faithfully. If you’re looking for a sweet, steady companion to welcome into your home and heart for 2026 and beyond, I could be your perfect match. Please reach out to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to learn more about adopting me. PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted. Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site. The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive. Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comDecember 24, 2025, 12:11 pm

Story

Are you looking for a small dog that is small, fun, bold, and full of personality? If you’re searching for a dog who can fill your home with laughter, life, and non-stop joy, let us introduce you to Hercules. This 11 month old 18 pound Apple Head chihuahua is small in size but legendary in spirit. He arrives in every room like a burst of sunshine–ears perked, tail wagging, and a grin that makes it impossible not to smile back. Hercules has the kind of personality that changes the energy of a home. He’s curious, social, and always ready for adventure. Whether he’s sniffing new friends, checking out what’s happening around the corner, or trotting proudly beside dogs 10 times his size, he’s confident and fearless without ever being rude. He truly believes the world is full of potential best friends. With all that zest for life, Hercules needs a home that matches his pace — someone who’s active, engaged, and excited to enjoy a dog with real spark. He is not a couch-only retirement-style companion; he’s the type of dog who would happily train with you, hike with you, or keep you laughing all day with his big personality and expressive little face. And when the day winds down, he’s perfectly happy to snuggle in and recharge for tomorrow’s fun. If you’re ready for a joyful, energetic, loyal little sidekick who will adore you with his whole heart, Hercules can’t wait to meet you. Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com to make him your boy. PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.

Good with dogs,

Story

Please contact Diane Pedulla (dianep@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.wrong island! MAUI NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Maui Best Guess for Breed: Chihuahua and Pomeranian mix Best Guess for Age: 2 year as of January 2026 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 9.3 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him 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: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think Maui would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure he can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes. Maui is Looking For: An explanation! This gorgeous boy wants to know why he was named Maui when he's from Puerto Rico. He also wants his own humans for sniffy walks and romps and all the adventures his new family can dream up - he can't wait to explore the DC area! Quiet time as his humans brush out his long fluffy coat at the end of a fun day together and snuggles - yes, those too, please. But you know what he wants most of all? To be safe and loved, to know where be belongs. What do you say? Can you see Maui way down there by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once he 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 $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 .
