Story
If Pippa's unique ear-style doesn't melt your heart, her sweet personality sure will! Pippa is a 35-lb, one and a half year old low rider. We obviously don't know what she's mixed with, but she has the physique of a corgi and the coloring of a border collie, and the energy level of a playful potato. She is goofy, sweet, and smart; happy to lounge on the couch and sunbathe in the grass one minute, then a full-on play machine in the next (in short, joyful bursts). She bonds deeply with her person and would make the perfect sidekick to whomever is lucky enough to be her family. She's a little unsure of new noises and hesitant of new people at first but once she warms up, her silly, snuggly personality shines brightly. She's crate-trained and mostly potty-trained. She walks well on the leash but can't seem to make up her mind about which side to walk on! Pippa would thrive in a home with a friendly and confident resident dog buddy, a gentle human who is home most of the day, and an outdoor space (yard, patio, balcony, or nearby park) to sunbathe and stretch her short little legs. If you live in DC/MD/NoVa and are looking for a loyal shadow with laid-back energy, playful heart, and ready to be your best hype woman-fill out an application below to adopt Pippa! https://forms.gle/6Tg4DPk8zc516fAg6

Story
Meet David Bowie! Take one look at my photo and you’ll see how I got my name—I’m rocking one piercing ice-blue eye, one warm brown eye, and two spectacular radar ears! I’m an almost one-year-old Collie/Husky mix, and at a lean 32 pounds, I’m the ultimate lightweight sidekick. I'm a gentle, sensitive boy navigating the world with a tender heart. Fast movements and loud noises make me jump, and I can be a little head-shy at first, but once I realize you’re a safe space, I soften right up. I take treats with the gentlest mouth, adore soft pets, and on walks, my signature move is sticking right against your legs like a devoted little shadow. (I do just ask for a peaceful corner where I can finish my dinner in peace! ) Want to see my goofy side erupt? Introduce me to another dog! I absolutely light up around furry pals—I even threw a big play-bow to my own reflection in the mirror! Having a confident, friendly canine brother or sister at home would be a game-changer to show me the ropes. Because fast movements still startle me, a patient, low-key home without young kiddos will give me the space I need to truly thrive. The vet care is already checked off: I’m neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all my vaccines! If you’ve got a soft spot for gentle souls and a ready-made canine playmate at home, come say hi to me! ##2841879##

Please contact Annika Linden (annika.linden@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.happy, loving girl looking for her forever family! MILLIE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:    Millie       Best Guess for Breed:    Collie/Retriever mix     Best Guess for Age:    1 year as of September 2026      SEX:    Female   Approximate Weight:    50lbs   Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:    SC Shelter!   Special adoption considerations: Millie is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! 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. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!   Millie is Looking For:  Millie is ready to clock out of shelter life and clock into her forever family! This sweet girl is searching for her very own adventure crew, humans who are up for sniffari walks, zoomie sessions, playtime, and all the little moments that make life with a dog so much fun. A comfy couch, tasty treats, a cozy bed, and maybe a few toys to call her own would definitely seal the deal. Millie’s bags are packed, her heart is ready, and she’s just waiting for her people to come find her!     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.   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   !

Marg is an Old Time Scotch Collie. OTSC's are kind, biddable, and easy to train.Loves POSITIVE training and having a job to do. But unlike many working dogs, OTSC's have an 'off switch'.Three dogs and I'm getting more health issues. Hard to meet the needs of all three. I love Marg dearly and want what is best for her.Marg is mature enough to be easy and young enough to be active.She has EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency). Easy to handle with enzymes added to food. She is expected to live a normal lifespan. Otherwise a VERY HEALTHY DOG.Trained with positive reinforcement.Like to hike? She's your girl!Loves little puppiesGood with kids but never lived with any. Very cuddly and would love an older kid.Lived happily with a cat before. Intros with other dogs need to be slow but she's sweet and playful with her doggy friends.Suburban or rural location preferred.Breed info: www.scotchcollie.org$100 fee to help ensure she goes to someone who will take care of her.

Located in Tennessee but can be transported to you through Rescue Riders. This boy was dumped with siblings and is a sweetheart! He is very friendly and gets along with other dogs. He has some housetraining and also knows how to use a dog door. He has done okay on a leash and in a crate. He will need daily exercise but is not overly energetic. He is ready to get a forever home.

Story
🐾 Looking for a Loving Home for Jax 🐾With a heavy heart, we are looking to rehome our 3-year-old Australian Cattle Dog/Pit Bull mix, Jax.Jax is a loving and energetic dog who is great with children and other dogs. We are unsure how he does with cats.This decision is incredibly difficult, and Jax has done nothing wrong. Our family has a 1-year-old daughter, and my wife is currently battling cancer. With everything going on, we simply don’t have the time to give Jax the attention, exercise, and care he deserves.We love Jax very much and want to find him a home where he can receive the time, love, stimulation, and companionship he deserves. We are looking for a responsible, loving family who will treat him as part of their family and give him a forever home.We are going to be very careful about who Jax goes home with. Please message me if you or someone you know may be the right fit for Jax. ❤️🐾

Story
ADOPT ACOYEE! Acoyee is a mature and wise man. At 8 years of age, he's technically a senior who knows a thing or two about life, but still got the spunk in his steps! This 65lbs happy pup is affectionate and loves his scratches. He turns and leans into your body to show and receive the love he craves. His foster described him as a super chill pup who is content to nap while you're doing stuff around the house. He is a great walker and loves to go on walks, but he is a bit reactive on the leash to other dogs and wildlife. He is perfectly potty trained, not a fan of the crate, and LOVES to learn new tricks. He knows the basics like sit, paw and speak. And he also knows some advanced things like going to fetch his leash when it's time for a walk! He loves to pull toys for a good game of tug of war. Stuffed toys won't last very long with him, he likes to tear them apart. The cattle dog in him is FIERCELY loyal. Like most cattle dogs, he certainly has a good amount of stranger danger. But once you take some time to earn his trust and you're in his circle of trust, he will be your best friend for life. He will do best in a quiet home in a quiet area without a lot of comings and goings, with a fenced in yard, and without another dog. If you live in DC/MD/NoVa and wish to ask Acoyee to join your family, please fill out an application for him on our website to begin the process: https://forms.gle/GYHWGHiHCbxqZJae6
