We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:  South Carolina shelter - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here.    Special adoption considerations:   Johnny is shy and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog who will show him the ropes.    Johnny is Looking For:  This sweet little pup wants nothing more than to trot through the world with all the confidence of a well-loved dog. To get there , he needs extra loving and patient adopters who understand he needs support in new environments and when meeting new people - and a friendly resident dog who will show him how to dog! Training will help him build his braves as well.    He has so much to offer in return, so much love and loyalty. What do you say? Are you the one to help Johnny live his best life - and get all those adoring gazes, so much devotion, in return?

Please contact Diane Pedulla (dianep@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.elongated sweetie ISO fresh start and love! MARLOWE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Marlowe       Best Guess for Breed:   Dachshund and terrier mix     Best Guess for Age: 4 years as of December 2025        SEX:  Male   Approximate Weight: 15 lbs as of 12/2/25 -he is emaciated at this weight.    Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:  Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here!   Special adoption considerations: Marlowe is a truly Lucky Dog. He 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!   Marlowe is Looking For:  His forever family, with humans who love him and care for him properly. He was emaciated when he came in, had whipworms, and was heartworm positive. Despite that he has been nothing but friendly and open and loving. He's in his prime as a young adult dog and has so much to see and do. Sniffy walks, romps in parks, all the adventures his family can dream up - yes, please! Making pup and people pals along the way would be great too.   But - what he wants most of all is to be safe and loved, to know where he belongs. What do you say? Is that with you?   What My Foster Says About Me:   We will update this once he has spent time in foster care.    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.

Story
❗ Current Location: in a foster home in South Korea❗ Meet Lylla :) • She rides so well that if you open the car door she gets in by herself, and she doesn't get car sick at all. If you like traveling she would make a really good buddy! • She loves playing with other dogs, running in the park, cuddles, kisses, sleeping with you, walks, hikes, and delicious food (fruit, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, cheese, meat) and treats! • Personality: She is affectionate, full of energy, loves to have fun, and adapts well to new things. She likes both people and dogs and cats (she'll play with them). She also loves to play in the park or the mountains. When she's excited, she'll purr to show her excitement. She loves to be held - she wants to fall asleep with you in your arms. She's the best dog ever!
