Story
Please contact Chandler Jaffe (chandler.jaffe@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Sweet girl ISO bright future! MAISIE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:   MAISIE          Best Guess for Breed:   Great Pyrenees/Collie Mix   Best Guess for Age:   1 year as of Oct. 2026          SEX:    female   Approximate Weight:   35 lbs   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! Because Maisie can be shy, we think she might do OK with kids but they would need to be dog-savvy.   Currently Living at:   DC area foster home.   Special adoption considerations:    Because Maisie is shy she is required to go to a home with a resident dog who will help show her the ropes!   MAISIE is Looking For:   Hi. I am Maisie! Lucky Dog helped me escape Florida when it was hit by a hurricane recently and I am safe thank you!!! You might be able to tell from my picture that I am sweet and a little shy. See, my breed mix is really cool-smart, loyal, and if I may humbly say so, pretty too! With that can also come some independence so while I look forward to bond deeply with my people I’ll be shy with new people at first. In fact, it’d be great and best for me to go to a kind home with a resident dog who can show me the ropes! We could all exercise/play and snuggle together, and my mind will likely do well with toys and games and dog school as well! I know I have it in me to be my forever family’s precious pearl-to be their resilient, wise, best friend. I know you are out there, forever family, come meet me and take me home! Love, Maisie.  What My Foster Says About Me:   Maisie is doing well, especially considering all she has been through! She was quite shy when she arrived but is now coming out of shell and showing her sweet, playful personality.   She has been doing well in her crate throughout the night and has decided that our dog’s bed is her favorite place to hang out. She loves to play with our one year old dog, and tolerates our grumpy five year old dog. She can be a bit shy meeting new people at first but quickly joins in the fun when she sees the other resident pups getting attention and pets! 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. 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! BE A SPONSOR!!!!

Story
To learn more about Boone, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Boone will be at one of our adoption events this weekend! Visit our event page (https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/) to see which one—event listings are usually updated on Fridays with attending dogs. Boone is a senior Coonhound mix who perfectly balances “distinguished gentleman” with “goofy best friend.” This long-snooted guy has plenty of pep and LOVES getting outside to explore—he’s happiest when he’s following his nose and taking in the world around him. He may be a little unsure in brand new situations, but he warms up quickly and is eager to please. Boone is affectionate, loves snuggles, gets along great with his foster siblings, and is overall an easygoing, happy pup who just wants to be part of the fun. As we have gotten to know him, Boone has proven to be equal parts sweet, silly, and full of charm. If you’re looking for a gentle, fun-loving companion with a playful heart, Boone might just be your perfect match.

Story
Meet BERNIE (fka Ernie)! Bernie is a sweet, playful, tail-wagging pup who loves to meet people! He is an adorable 10 month old, 45 pound tan and white smooth collie/pointer mix, with black on his very expressive, sweet face! He has that puppy playfulness you'd expect from a 10-month old, but he also is smart and eager to take direction. As with any young dog, he will need to continue with some basic training to thrive. Bernie is dog-friendly and "just wants love." He is crate-trained. Poor Bernie was on the urgent list at a local overcapacity shelter -- volunteers made an urgent plea to save this sweet boy. With an offer from a great foster, we were able to pull Bernie to freedom and he is very happy to find his forever family! Bernie seems to be the kind of young dog who is excited about life, interested in the world around him, and ready to connect with someone who will give him the attention, guidance, and affection a puppy needs. He would be an excellent new member of the family and is eager to find a family to love! **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our adoption questionnaire.** The adoption fee for this dog is $425. Routine vetting and spay or neuter surgery are included in the adoption fee. For more information, please email rturner@petconnectrescue.org

Story
Meet Ranger – The Sweetest Gentleman Around! Looking for a loyal, loving, easygoing companion? Ranger might just be your perfect match! Ranger is an adorable 33-pound Collie mix, approximately 8–10 years young, with a heart of gold and so much love to give! This handsome boy is an absolute dream in his foster home! He’s completely house-trained, sleeps peacefully through the night in his crate, and is incredibly well-behaved when left home alone. No destruction, no fuss — just a perfect gentleman who enjoys sitting on the couch, watching the world go by while patiently waiting for his people to return. What makes Ranger so special? *Loves other dogs! He’s met several neighborhood pups and has adored every single one. *Loves everyone he meets! Ranger has never met a stranger. *Wonderful house manners! Fully house-trained, quiet, and trustworthy when left alone. *Sleeps through the night in his crate without a peep. *Smart and food-motivated! He’s already mastered “sit” and is eager to learn more. *Rarely barks! Unless, of course, there’s a squirrel that needs his attention! Ranger is also discovering the joy of toys! He’s a little shy about playing in front of people, but his foster mom recently caught him having fun with one when he thought nobody was watching. And if you’re looking for affection, Ranger has plenty to share! No matter where you’re sitting or what you’re doing, he’ll gently tuck his sweet face under your hand to request his favorite thing — head scratches! He’s still working on his leash manners because his curious nose likes to lead the way, but he isn’t a strong puller. Ranger may be a little older, but he’s truly a gem! He’s the perfect combination of sweet, calm, friendly, and affectionate. All he needs now is a forever family to love him as much as he’ll love them. Could you be Ranger’s happily ever after? Apply to adopt this wonderful boy and give him the loving home he deserves! **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our adoption questionnaire.** As part of our Silver Paws program for senior dogs (7 years and above), this dog has had a thorough senior pet exam, complete bloodwork, and (if recommended by a veterinarian) a dental cleaning. The adoption fee for this dog is $250, which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. PetConnect Rescue is committed to the rescue and care of senior dogs and to providing their adopters with all of the information they need to set them and their new family member up for success.

Story
Meet David Bowie! Take one look at my photo and you’ll see how I got my name: one ice-blue eye, one warm brown eye, and two giant radar ears! I’m David Bowie, a one-year-old Collie/Husky mix, and at an easy 32 pounds, I'm the ultimate compact companion. I'm naturally shy around new people and take my time warming up, but once I know I'm safe, I soften right up. In the house, my foster mom says I’m remarkably calm and chill. I don't bark, I listen well, and I have an easy, peaceful routine when it’s time to go to bed. Loud noises and fast movements make me jump, and I can be a little head-shy at first, but once we're bonded, my favorite move is sticking right against your legs like a little shadow. (I take treats with the gentlest mouth, and I just ask for a quiet corner to eat my dinner in peace! ) Other dogs are where my goofy side comes out! I play so nicely with furry friends and even threw a play-bow to my own reflection in the mirror. Having a confident, friendly dog sibling at home would be huge for showing me the ropes. Because quick movements still startle me, a patient, low-key home without young kids is where I’ll do best. I’m already neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all my vaccines. If you have a soft spot for gentle souls and an easygoing pup at home to be my guide, come say hi! ##2841879##

Story
Meet Duffy — a gorgeous young collie with a bright smile, a playful spirit, and so much love to give to the right family. Born on October 13, 2024, Duffy is still very much a puppy at heart. At home with the people and dogs he knows, he is affectionate, silly, and incredibly loving. He adores snuggling on the sofa, handing out enthusiastic kisses, and spending his days playing with his canine friends. He requires a home with another young, playful dog and a large fenced yard where he can run, wrestle, and burn off his youthful energy. Duffy is also a smart and well-mannered boy. He is neutered, housebroken, well trained, and generally a wonderful house companion — though he does occasionally enjoy “redecorating” with any paper products he can find. Like many young dogs, he’s still discovering what counts as a toy! What Duffy truly needs, though, is a patient and understanding adopter. New people and unfamiliar environments can make him nervous, and he tends to express that uncertainty by barking. He is not aggressive at all, but he does need time, slow introductions, and consistency in order to feel safe and comfortable. Once he trusts you, his sweet and loyal personality shines through beautifully. Duffy is not the kind of dog who will walk into a new home and instantly act like he’s lived there forever. He’s the kind of dog whose trust is earned — and for the right person, that bond will be incredibly rewarding. Watching him grow in confidence and blossom into the happy, loving companion he wants to be is something very special. He’s also going to be absolutely stunning as he matures. Already tall and handsome, Duffy’s full collie coat is still coming in, and he is only getting more beautiful with age. Duffy is looking for a calm but active home, a playful dog companion, and people who understand that some sensitive dogs simply need a little extra time and patience. In return, he’ll give endless affection, loyalty, laughter, and love. If you are interested in rescuing a collie, please complete this short adoption questionnaire. Our standard adoption fee is $450. This fee helps us to cover (and sometimes only partially cover) the expense of providing each dog with a Health Exam, Rabies/DHPP vaccines, Heartworm Test, Heartworm Preventative, Flea & Tick Protection, Microchip, Neuter/Spay, a Bath and any other medical needs.  Thank you for your consideration in adopting a collie in need!!!

Story
Dutchess is an incredibly sweet, gentle girl with a wonderful balance of playful energy and calm companionship. She loves spending time with people, happily soaking up pets and affection, and she’s just as content relaxing by your side as she is joining in the fun.  We estimate her to be about 8 years old.  One of Duchess’s favorite things is food! She has an excellent appetite, eats enthusiastically, and seems to have a very high metabolism. Mealtime is definitely one of the highlights of her day. When she’s with other dogs, Duchess enjoys running and playing. Most of the time she’s calm and mellow, but every so often she’ll surprise you by springing into the air with all four feet off the ground before taking off in pursuit of her playmates. That playful burst of excitement is always fun to watch and perfectly complements her otherwise easygoing personality. Duchess takes cues from the other dogs around her but also has an independent streak. Sometimes she’ll head outside the moment you ask, while other times she’ll decide she’d rather stay put. However, once you clip on a leash, she walks gently and compliantly wherever you lead her—even if it wasn’t the direction she originally wanted to go. Thunderstorms can still make Duchess a little uneasy, but she’s making steady progress and continues to gain confidence. She’s also a dream to groom. Duchess patiently sits while being brushed and seems to enjoy the attention, making grooming sessions easy and relaxing for everyone involved. Overall, Duchess is a loving, adaptable dog who would fit well with a family looking for a companion that can switch effortlessly between playful adventures and quiet cuddle time. Her sweet nature, gentle manners, and affectionate personality make her a joy to have around.If you are interested in rescuing a collie, please complete this short adoption questionnaire.

Story
Shae is a sweet young lass. She's a big more tentative around new things than her brother, Simon, but warms up quickly. She likes to sit on your lap, in fact, she'd like nothing better than to cuddle on your lap while watching TV.  Shae would like to be your new BFF. As she did not learn about sharing in school, she would do best as an only dog in the household.  Shae comes to us from a shelter in rural southwestern Virginia. Shae and her brother, Simon, as well as their father, were seized from their owner for neglect (starvation). An anonymous donor has become Shae's Guardian Angel, in memory of her wonderful Bosnian street dog, Chloe.
