Story
sweet baby girl seeking happily ever after! KEILA NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!   Name:  Keila          Best Guess for Breed: Chihuahua mix    Best Guess for Age:  6 months as of September 2023            SEX: Female   Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!):  8.75 lbs as of 9/21/23   Gets Along With:        Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs and cats so long as they receive patience and proper training. Due to her breed mix and small size, she may not go to a home with children under the age of 12.   Currently Living at:   Shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area!   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.  Due to Keila's breed mix and small size, she may not go to a home with children under the age of 12.  Keila is Looking For:   This sweetie is coming all the way from Louisiana to get her forever home! Right now she's just a baby with all that silly puppy energy for lots of play time - and that sweetness for cuddles and deep naps on warm laps! She's also ready to go around the neighborhood on walks - to show you how super smart she is at puppy school - and explore the world with you! And what you get out of it is adoring gazes, happy puppy tail wags, kisses - and a loyal companion for all her days.    What do you say? Is there a space for Keila on your lap and in your life?   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 October 21, 2023. 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. 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       .   &#226&#128&#139September 22, 2023, 2:43 pm

DEVI NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!   Come meet Devi and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday, September 24th from 12-3 pm at the Petsmart in Silver Spring (12020 Cherry Hill Rd, Silver Spring, MD 20904)!   Name:  Devi         Best Guess for Breed:  Chihuahua mix   Best Guess for Age:  2 years as of August 2023       SEX:  Female   Approximate Weight:  15 lbs   Gets Along With: Other dogs! She hasn't been seen with cats but can be tested. Due to her breed and small size, she is not recommended for a home with children under the age of 12.   Currently Living at:   South Carolina shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get her freedom ride up here!   Special adoption considerations:   When Devi arrived in the shelter, she was very nervous. However, she has been making great strides. We think she would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure she can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to continue to build confidence. Devi is Looking For: This sweet girl, through no fault at all of her own, now needs a new home. She's eager for sniffy walks and adventure!
