Story
Meet Barbie, the charming almost 2-year-old Chihuahua/Pug mix with a quirky personality and a heart full of love. She was rescued from a local shelter where it's apparent she had a rough start to life where a human was not nice to her as she sometimes gets startled by quick movements. Barbie's spirit shines brightly as she embraces each day with enthusiasm and resilience. Weighing in at 20lbs, Barbie adores playtime and craves attention. Beware though, if you're not giving her the attention she deserves, Barbie isn't shy about reminding you with a playful nip on the butt! We are working on that and she is doing better as long as she has toys to distract her! She's looking for a patient and understanding family who can provide her with the love and security she deserves, promising endless laughs and unconditional love in return. She does great with dogs of all sizes. Barbie's adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state and includes current shots, microchip, spay, and current on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. An adoption application and contract are required. If you have any questions, please email us at sgdrsa@outlook.com. If you are interested in adopting Barbie please complete the adoption application at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SGDR/Dog

Story
If you have questions about Santiago, please get in touch with tsntignor@hotmail.com Santiago is a sweet, affectionate, and chill little guy. He most enjoys the company of dogs ...oh and treats! He also enjoys playing with toys. He has done well in his crate when his foster family leaves the house. He still has so much to learn but he's on the path to becoming his best, little doggie self. Santiago is still learning the world isn't a scary place. He's hoping for an adopter with another friendly dog or two, with a fenced yard (no apartments for this guy), and a huge place in their heart for him. Santiago was surrendered by a commercial breeder. He was no longer wanted, and had no place to go. He deserved better, so we opened our doors and hearts earlier this month to change that for him. He is an adorable, special little dog who has endured quite a lot on his way to the safety of the Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation. He is looking for a family with abundant patience, love, and an understanding of his needs to help him be a wonderful companion - and your best friend forever.

Story
Bella Jean is my sweetheart chihuahua looking for a new forever home. I am rehoming Bella Jean due to my own allergies that have worsened. Bella Jean LOVES cats and dogs and even sleeps in a bed with her family including children (aged 4 and 8) and the cat. All I want for her is a good home, that is why her price is free. I want her to have a family that will take excellent care of her but sadly, my health is being impacted due to my allergies. She has no issues behaviorally or medically. Please inquire to adopt today. She is the perfect piece missing from your family.

Story
Please contact Destiny Sibert (DestinyS@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.MATTHEW     MaleChihuahua and terrier mix18 pounds 6 years old as of December 2023   Small dogs get grabbed and picked up and hugged and squeezed by people who wouldn't dream of doing that to much bigger pups with much bigger teeth. Matthew didn't want to go the Italian mastiff route (way too drooly and undignified), but he figured out a way to get the respect and reverence due him: Transmogrify into a cat.    That worked halfway. Outside, he's a small, cute dog. Inside, he is all cat.    You know how you don't just reach out and try to pat a cat on the head? You sit there and wait for the cat to come to you. You don't move a muscle as the cat investigates you. Not even when it starts nudging you with its head. But when it starts rubbing its body heartily against you - that's when you lift a finger and oh so gently start stroking it. You watch carefully to make sure you still have consent to pet as you continue caressing it. Once it backs off - you back off too!   You know how you keep respecting the cat's space and then one day the cat comes to sit in your lap, purring, and all is good with the world? And then the cat is always yours, forever and ever?   That is Matthew.    You know how cats sit blocking a hallway or staircase, just daring a dog to try and come through? And the dog tries to sidle through without making eye contact, sideways, to avoid the cat's wrath?    That is Matthew too. His domain is his alone.    Matthew is truly a sweetie. Right now he finds many things intimidating - we don't know what he went through before arriving at the shelter. But he is oh so eager to have a space where he can trust and love. He needs patient humans who will set him up for success in a quiet home. The reward? The earned love and loyalty of an animal like that - there's nothing like it.  “What greater gift than the love of a cat?” — Charles Dickens   Will Matthew be your gift to yourself?   Gets Along With:   Adult humans! Due to his breed mix and personality, Matthew is not well suited for a home with children under the age of 12. He would be best as the only pet in the home at this time.    Currently Living at:  DC area foster home   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.

Story
Please contact Diane Pedulla (dianep@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Little Chihuahua with big ears and eyes of gold KIRKZ NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!   Name:   Kirkz          Best Guess for Breed:   Chihuahua and terrier mix     Best Guess for Age:   1 year, 6 months as of 1/12/2024     SEX:    male   Approximate Weight:   12 lbs.   Gets Along With:    Other dogs. Kirkz cannot go to a home with kids under age 12 due to his breed. He also cannot go to a home with cats.   Currently Living at:   DC area foster home   Check out this video of Kirkz: https://youtu.be/MK5RmRW8vmw.   Special adoption considerations:    No kids under 12 due to breed and no cats.   Kirkz is Looking For:   Kirkz can't wait to see what life in the big city is like. Chihuahuas are energetic little busybodies who keep their pet parents amused with their antics. They aren't meant to be running partners but Chihuahuas are happy to accompany you on frequent walks around the neighborhood to check out the exciting scents and meet new people. This adorable little guy is sure to break hearts with his big ears and soulful golden eyes.   Dog parks with a designated small dog area are best for these little ones. .Doggie daycare would be another great way for him to play and make new canine friends. Chihuahuas are known for having a bold, 'big dog attitude'  start training early with Kirkz. You will both have loads of fun as learns how to show you what a good boy he can be. What My Foster Says About Me: Kirkz is a lively little boy who likes nothing better than to crawl into your lap and demand tummy rubs. He loves playing with the resident dog. He enjoys the crate and once he’s there, he’ll sleep the night away. Kirkz is great on walks, saying hello to everyone he meets, whether canine or human. He’s a bit of a puller, but at 12-13 pounds, it’s no biggie. He gets into the car readily, and enjoys the ride once he’sbuckled in.  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.

Story
Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Handsome little dude looking for his forever home! WAZOWSKI NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!   Name:   Wazowski        Best Guess for Breed:   Chihuahua and terrier mix  Best Guess for Age:   8 years as of Jan. 2024        SEX:    Male   Approximate Weight:   21 lbs   Gets Along With:   Other dogs! We haven’t seen Wazowski with cats, but he can be tested! Due to his breed mix, we do not recommend him for a home with children under the age of 12.    Currently Living at:   DC area foster home   Special adoption considerations:   Wazowski is a truly Lucky Dog. He 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 screening process. Additionally, due to his breed mix, Wazkowski should not go to a home with kids under 12.   All About Wazowski: Meet Wazkowski, the charming 8-year-old chihuahua mix with a heart of gold! This pint-sized pup may be small in stature, but he's overflowing with personality and love to give. With his endearing ears and soulful brown eyes, Wazkowski is sure to steal your heart from the moment you meet him. Despite his age, he's still full of energy and spunk, always up for a game of fetch or a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood. Wazkowski is a true social butterfly, getting along famously with both humans and other furry friends alike. He's the perfect companion for anyone looking to add a little extra joy and warmth to their lives.  Wazkowski's ideal forever home would be one filled with love, patience, and plenty of cuddles. While he may take a little time to warm up to new surroundings, once he trusts you, he'll be your most loyal companion for life. Whether you're relaxing at home on the couch or exploring the great outdoors, Wazkowski will be right by your side, ready to experience all of life's adventures together. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this sweet senior pup, Wazkowski is eager to meet you and join your family. What My Foster Says About Me:   Wazowski is the perfect companion dog. He may be 8 years old but he still has energy to play and loves to explore the outdoors. Overall he is a pretty calm dog and likes to take his naps. He is friendly with people and likes to get on your lap once he gets to know you. Gets excited when there are other dogs around. Still learning basic commands like sit but he is starting to get it. 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.
