Story
Please contact Kady Hammer (KadyH@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Handsome boy needs his fur-ever family! BUCK NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Buck and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (April 21st) from 12-3 pm at the Petsmart in Falls Church (6100A Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)! Name: Buck Best Guess for Breed: Collie and shepherd mix Best Guess for Age: 1 year as of Jan 2024 SEX: male Approximate Weight: 57lbs as of Feb 2024 Gets Along With: Other dogs! We think Buck would do best in a home that either has a resident dog or who can make sure Buck has lots of opportunities to go on walks regularly with other dogs or visit dog parks and/or doggie daycare with other dogs to build confidence. We have not seen Buck with kids but he can be tested! We have tested Buck with some of the cats at our adoption event, and he did not seem particularly interested in chasing or pouncing on the cat. While this is a positive sign that Buck could live with a cat, he has not done so to our knowledge. If you have cats in your home, we are happy to discuss with you how to best introduce a new pup to your pack. Currently Living at: DC area foster home Special adoption considerations: Buck 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 adoption counseling process. Buck is Looking For: Some snuggles with his new best friend! Buck is a very sweet and handsome boy who is currently living at a shelter. He has a very soft, silky coat and the most adorable puppy face ever - he may be young but he's just a little baby!!! Buck is looking to start his new life in the DC area and can't wait to explore his new home with you. He is looking forward to plenty of walks, playing with new toys, and cuddling up on the couch for some movies! He is just past his youngest puppy days, but he still has plenty of energy for whatever adventures you want to take him on. Could this little love bug be the newest member of your family? What My Foster Says About Me: Buck is a really sweet and great dog. He loves playing with other dogs and is getting more friendly with people. He can be a little shy at first but is learning to quickly open up to his surroundings. He's opening up at home and is very sweet and affectionate! Buck is also a great passenger for car rides! 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.
