Story

Hello! My name is Poppa! Meet Poppa Poppa is a lively and lovable boy with energy to spare and curiosity that never quits. He’s eager to explore the world, make new friends, and be part of the action. With his expressive eyes and playful spirit, Poppa is impossible not to adore. Energy and Personality Poppa is full of enthusiasm and thrives with daily exercise and mental stimulation. He loves long walks, active play, and time with his people. He enjoys meeting new people, gets along withcats, and has a big, friendly personality that makes him a joy to be around. Training and Behavior Poppa is house trained, knows how to sit, and comes when called. He’s food motivated, goes into his crate easily, and responds well to treats, praise, and redirection. He has been barking at the door and can get a little frantic indoors, but structure has helped him relax and learn good habits. With crate time, a small fenced-off area, and supervised play in the yard, he’s learning to settle and self-soothe. Social Life He enjoys the company of people and other dogs and is learning how to balance his excitement with calm behavior. He’s affectionate and likes being near his humans, but also benefits from clear boundaries and routines. Quirks and Special Traits Poppa has an expressive face that could melt anyone’s heart. His big, bright eyes always seem to say, “What’s next?” He’s adventurous, clever, and always up for a good time. Best Home Fit Poppa will do best with an active adopter who can offer consistent structure, exercise, and affection. A fenced yard and regular walks are ideal for him. He’s learning quickly and will thrive with guidance and attention.

Current Location: Severn, MD Hello! My name is Helena (H Litter)! I've just arrived at OPH. Please check back soon for updates on my personality, and to see adorable new photos. I'm searching for... * someone who won't leave me home alone for more than 4 hrs, at least not until I am older. The older I am the more I can stay home alone. I just don't want you to get mad at me if I have accidents or chew things I'm not supposed to when you leave me for too long. I'm a puppy, so I get bored quick and when I'm bored I could get in trouble. * I am looking for my forever home, not my for right now home. So as I get bigger I need someone to teach me how to be the best dog I can be. I am young and still learning. You may want to teach me some new tricks like sit, stay, etc. Professional training will help me bond with you. That sounds like fun! * I saved the most important for last. I am hoping my new mom or dad will snuggle with me, play with me and love me forever and ever! I'm making my way north in search of my new family. Is that with you? If so apply today because this cuteness won’t be around for long!

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Current Location: King William, VA Meet Pepper Pepper is a 3-year-old, 10-pound Chihuahua mix with a gentle soul and soft eyes that hint at a story she has not yet told. She has been a little shy and reserved in her foster home, as if she is still deciding whether the world can truly be kind. But behind that hesitation is a spark of hope waiting to shine brighter every day. Energy and Personality Pepper is calm, laid back, and happiest when she can quietly observe from a safe spot. She enjoys the comfort of a cozy dog bed and has shown she can sleep through the night peacefully. She may not rush into your arms right away, but she responds with quiet sweetness when offered gentle affection. Training and Behavior Pepper is crate tolerant, though she is not particularly enthusiastic about going in. She shows no destructive tendencies and has a natural calmness that makes her easy to have around. She thrives in an environment that gives her time, patience, and consistency. Social Life Pepper has been fine with other dogs, though she has not yet chosen to play or interact much. Cats and children have not been tested, but her gentle nature suggests she may adapt given the right introductions and support. Special Traits Her biggest gift is her quiet resilience. Though she is cautious at first, you can see her trying, little by little, to believe in the kindness around her. That effort is the spark of hope she carries, waiting for someone patient enough to nurture it. Best Home Fit Pepper will blossom in a home that moves at her pace, with people who can give her steady reassurance and the space to grow. She does not need much activity, just a soft place to rest and the gentle encouragement of someone who sees the potential in her. Veterinary Care Visit to veterinarian for health certificate Up to date on vaccinations for age Spayed Microchipped On heartworm preventative On flea and tick preventative Received worm and parasite treatments This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito producing a positive test in six months. OPH will treat the dog and provide two weeks of recovery time prior to adoption. Potential adopters will receive detailed information on the disease and their role in completing the recovery process from OPH’s heartworm coordinator. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable.

Story

❗Current Location: in a foster home in South Korea❗ • Rescue Story : Meet Mallow👋 This sweetheart was found wandering alone on a street in South Korea in Feb 2024. Sadly, he ended up in a high-risk shelter and on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, the rescue team stepped in just in time, giving him a second chance at life. While having heartworm treatment in a clinic, Mallow moved into his foster home in July 2024. Now, he’s ready to find his forever family! • Personality: Calm, Sweet, Shy Mallow needs a little time and space to feel comfortable, but once he does, he’ll open up beautifully. It may take patience, but winning his heart will be one of the most rewarding experiences ever! He is such a cuddle bug! • Affinity with -Cats: Not interested in cats on walks -Dogs: a huge dog-lover! Very friendly with other dogs regardless of size. He would adjust better in a home with another dog! -Adults/Kids: Good with adults. / Not a fan of kids - he would be the best fit in a home without children. • Housetrained: Fully housebroken, using pee pads indoors and going potty outdoors both. • Walking Manner: Very good on a leash! Wants to keep walks short. • Shedding: 5-6 • Food Allergies: No • Car Rides: Good • Barker or Quiet: Barks a little bit when hearing the loud noise from outside. • Separation Anxiety: He whimpers a little right after his foster family leaves home, but calms down soon. • Bathing/Brushing: Very good. • Likes & Dislikes: Loves treats, doggy friends, and cuddles! / Not a big fan of young kids • Health: Completed heartworm treatment in late 2024 and was cleared of infection by April 2025. Had a few teeth extracted this October due to root damage, but it doesn’t affect his ability to chew. Regular and thorough tooth brushing is essential. Otherwise, he’s a healthy boy!

Story

Please contact Ann Marie Burns (AnnMarieB@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Tiny pup with a giant heart! PUMBA NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Pumba Best Guess for Breed: Chi Mix Best Guess for Age: 15 weeks as of 12/1/25 SEX: Male Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!): 12 lbs as of 12/1/25 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. Pumba is Looking For: Hiya! I'm Pumba! Me and my littermates, Prada, Pocky, Pixie, Pooky, Paolo, and Polo, 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:Pumba – Ah, Pumba with his little furrowed, questioning brow… every time he looks up at you, it’s as if he’s asking, “ Do you love. Me?” And of course the answer is always, “Yes, yes I do, as you give him pets. Like his sister Pocky, he’s tall, lean, and absolutely loves a good tussle. He’s still working on impulse control—his first instinct is to charge full tilt into his brothers… even when they’re trying to pee. “Pumba? Really?” is a phrase heard often around here. He’s doing well with his crate training and learning to take his business outside. Goofy, sweet, and endlessly endearing, Pumba keeps us laughing every day. 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 February 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. 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!
