Story
Please contact Nancy Anderson (nancya@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet girl seeking fresh start and love! RISE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Rise Best Guess for Breed: Dachshund and terrier mix Best Guess for Age: 5 years as of December 2024 Gender: Female Approximate Weight: 23 lbs Gets Along With: Rise does well with other dogs! We do not recommend her for a home with cats. Currently Living At: DC area foster home Special Adoption Considerations: Rise is shy - she came from Puerto Rico and this environment is very new to her! In certain home settings - where the environment might be louder or more intense - she would do better with another dog in the home to give her confidence. Rise is Looking For: Her forever family! She was very relieved to be rescued off the streets in Puerto Rico and is eagerly awaiting her forever home. Sniffy walks, romps in parks, all the adventures her new family can dream up - yes please! And in exchange, she promises all the love in her little body, all the adoring gazes and kisses she can muster, and loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say? Can you see her trotting along on her little legs by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: This sweet soul is the perfect blend of calm and affectionate, winning hearts with her endearing habits of gently nuzzling into her humans, greeting you at the door with her wiggle-butt, and rolling over for belly rubs. She walks well on a leash, though she occasionally needs a moment to adjust to loud noises and may be a little shy at first with strangers approaching her on the street. She lives peacefully with a resident dog, although they both prefer to mind her own business rather than engage in play so far. She is even perfect at getting her nails trimmed and getting a bath! When left alone, she's content and quiet. She does love her food and treats which is always a great incentive for training purposes. At the end of the day, Rise loves nothing more than curling up and relaxing in her cozy dog bed with plush blankets, where her adorable quiet snores will melt your heart. If you're looking for a peaceful, well-adjusted companion who brings both joy and tranquility to the home, Rise might be your perfect match! Medical: Rise was heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs. All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care. After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months. Rise has completed the treatment and activity restriction phase and is awaiting her six month follow up test. 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!
