Story
Pint-sized Matayo came to us in 2022 and was unfortunately returned to us in November 2023. This senior boy would love nothing more than to find a home to spend his golden years in! Matayo is an easy-going type of pup who wants to spend his days relaxing and snoozing. He enjoys being held and especially enjoys butt scratches! He definitely takes the world at his own pace and while he is not a distance walker will take his time moseying about the yard. Matayo LOVES treats of all sorts! He has been a big fan of stuffed kong toys and will curl up in a bed to enjoy. We have not seen Matayo extensively with other animals or children. We would be happy to have a meet with any potential furry friends! Matayo would be the perfect companion for anyone looking for a lap pup to cuddle up with! Stop by and visit Matayo if he sounds like a good fit for you! Matayo is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

Story
Female, ~10 weeks old, ~4 lbs. Approximate Age: ~10 weeks old   Approximate Weight/Size:    Small   Good with: Dogs   Not tested with: Cats, Kids   Hi, I'm Lilo! I'm a sweet Chi mix a born on September 13th as a single pup to a black 12lb Cheweenie mix - my father is unknown. I love all other dogs and cats, and since I'm an only pup, playing with other size appropriate, friendly dogs is crucial for my socialization skills. I would love to live in a home with another small, friendly and puppy-tolerant dog under 25lbs. I love to cuddle with my dog friends.   Due to my small size, I would do best in a home with children over the age of 10 or well behaved children who will be careful with me. I currently sleep through the night and I'm working on my house training with a puppy pad - although I know to go outside when you take me out. I'm very smart and well behaved!   A few things to consider before applying to adopt a puppy: - Puppies require a lot of upfront work including both obedience and house training. - Puppies cannot be left home alone for long periods while they are young. - You might need to "puppy-proof" your home before bringing one home.     Adoption Application: http://bit.ly/adoptrd r My adoption fee includes: Spay/Neuter Surgery (unless I'm too to young!)

Story
Male, ~3 years old, ~12 lbs. Approximate Age: ~3 years old   Approximate Weight/Size: Small   Good with: Dogs, Kids over 10   Not tested with: Cats   My name is Echo and they claim I'm a chihuahua mix... and who am I to dispute it! I am a 3 year old male and weigh 12 lbs (dripping wet).  I came in as a stray and so I can be on the shy and nervous side when meeting new people (and who wouldn't be with what I've been through!). Since I'm am shy with strangers and need some time to warm up... I wouldn't mind getting some treats and presents too! Even though I may take a little time to warm up, once I trust you and get comfortable, I bond hard and really love being with my person all the time.   I don't like the city life and prefer being away from that environment where it's a bit quieter. It would be great if I could have a backyard that I could call my own (I hope that's not asking too much!). Because I'm not a fan of crowds or city life, I don't do well at adoption events, so I hope you'll give me a chance and be willing to meet me somewhere that I'm more comfortable and spend some time with me.    I am good with other dogs and love being around other pups of all sizes and ages. Now cats could be a different story since I haven't been tested with them yet. The real important stuff here includes that I'm crate trained, potty trained, food motivated, housetrained, and low energy level. I will need some work gaining confidence and trust with my new people, but if you're willing to spend time with me, I'd really appreciate it.  I could be a diamond in the ruff!  I'll return the favor with how cute and sweet I am!   Thanks for checking me out. Good things can come in small packages.  Your pal. Echo      Adoption Application: http://bit.ly/adoptrdr My adoption fee includes: Spay/Neuter Surgery (unless I'm too to young!)

Story
Please contact Destiny Sibert (DestinyS@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Purse Puppy Looking for LoveNIKKI NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:   Nikki        Best Guess for Breed:    Chihuahua/Doxie mix Best Guess for Age:    5 yrs as of Oct 2023        SEX:    female Approximate Weight:    12 lbs  Gets Along With:    Other dogs! We haven't seen her with cats but she can be tested. Due to her breed, Nikki may not go to a home with kids under 12.   Currently Living at:    DC area foster home.   Special adoption considerations: Nikki is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for Heartworm disease but has already been treated! 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. We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the adoption counseling process. Also, when Nikki arrived in the shelter, she was very scared and shut down. However, she has been making great strides. We think Nikki 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. Nikki is Looking For:    Nikki is very eager to have her own forever home, where she gets her own humans for sniffy walks and romps in the park and gets to meet new pup and people pals along the way! Most of all, though, she wants to know she's safe and loved and under her own roof. In exchange, she promises adoring gazes and loyal companionship for all her days. What My Foster Says About Me:  Coming soon! 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.   Visit Lucky Dog Animal 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   !
