Story
Gracie is a one-of-a-kind low-riding, wide eared phenomenon who will stare directly into your eyes as if she has an important communication for you, The right adopter will be able to hear her. Her breed blend is a bit of a mystery. Basset? Dachshund? Who knows? Who cares? Not Gracie. Her legs measure approximately 11 baby carrots in length but she toddles through the room with the confidence of a an Amazon. Her ears are wide enough to pick up satellite signals, ensuring free cable for her new family! Gracie is a genuinely lovely little companion. She adores her people, enjoys a slow, thoughtful stroll {emphasis on slow}, and would happily spend the rest of her days being near you while you do absolutely anything… or nothing at all. She is the perfect home companion. Housetrained, good on the leash, happy to go for car rides, generally sleeps through the night. She is happy to spend all her time with her human and wants to be the one and only pet. Her vision and hearing seem pretty solid. Due to her back pain, she has trouble with stairs and would prefer to be carried up and down, like the queen that she is. Gracie would love for her new home to have a fenced yard where she can amble around, sniff things, and soak up the rays. She'd also love to go for lots of walks, have plenty of snuggle time, and enjoy a calm, quiet routine with her beloved human. She is hoping her human will be home most of the time or take her with wherever they go. She loves to be petted and snoodled and talked to. She will follow you everywhere! Not only will she lie AT your feet, she will lie ON your feet! Gracie has cushing's disease, so she will need to stay on medication to help her manage it for life. She also has some arthritis, including the above-mentioned back pain, which is benefitting from joint supplements like Cosequin and medications like gabapentin. She will also benefit from routing anal expressions (sorry, Gracie!). Gracie is a happy, happy dog, with the waggiest tail you could imagine! Gracie will not be your jogging partner or you agility champion, but she will be your devoted, loving companion. Gracie is approx 11 years old and 35 lbs.

Story
Meet Bob! Bob is a 12-year-old Dachshund with the perfect balance of adventure and snuggles. At just 10 pounds, this handsome little guy is always up for exploring the yard, sniffing out his next great digging spot, or curling up beside his favorite people for some quality cuddle time. Bob is an affectionate, curious boy who loves people, treats, and anything involving attention. He'll happily join you for a leisurely walk before settling in for a cozy nap. His foster says he has *very* selective hearing, especially when he's discovered a new place to dig. If you call his name, he'll pretend not to hear you... but the wagging tail gives him away every time. Bob gets along well with other dogs, though he'd also be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as your one and only pup. Cats, however, are a definite no-thank-you. He would do best in a calm home without young children, ideally with someone who's home much of the time and enjoys a quieter pace of life. A fenced yard where he can safely explore would be a bonus! As a senior, Bob has some vision changes, but he still gets around well, enjoys going up and down stairs, and doesn't let age slow him down. He's still learning the ropes in foster care, so we're continuing to learn more about his medical needs, but what we already know is that he has a huge heart and so much love to give. If you're looking for a loyal little sidekick who will keep you company on your adventures and happily snuggle up afterward, Bob can't wait to meet you. 12 year 10 lb neutered male brown dachshund Bob Fostered in Rockville, MD Please apply at mirishaven.org

Please contact Connie Kiggins (conniek@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.baby girl seeking her family! ETHEL NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!Come meet Ethel and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (8/16) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Falls Church (6100A Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)!     Name:  Ethel           Best Guess for Breed:  Dachshund and retriever mix   Best Guess for Age:  3 months as of 7/15/26         SEX:    Female   Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!):     13.4 lbs as of 7/8/26   Gets Along With:        Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs, cats and kids so long as they receive patience and proper training.   Currently Living at:   DC area foster home   Special Adoption Considerations:       Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy.  Ethel is Looking For:   Hi! The three of us - Emmagene, Ernestine, and Ethel - have loved our time in the puppy pile, but we are each ready to pack our bags and find our very own forever home! I'm looking for a home that will let me play with toys and get my puppy zoomies out and give me snuggles in between playtimes. When I'm a little older, I can't wait to explore my new neighborhood on lots of walks, and I'd really like to make a bunch of doggie friends along the way. Oh, and I should probably take a puppy obedience class or two so I can show you how smart I am.  What do you say? Do I get to go home with you?   What My Foster Says About Me: Ethel has a zest for life. She is a tiny bit timid but also wants so badly to play and explore and be a part of whatever is going on. She is content and loves her crate but is also curious about her surroundings and likes to wrestle and play with her sisters. Puppy bones and lick mats are her specialty. This low rider has a gorgeous shiny brown coat and beautiful eyes. Ethel rides well in the car, sleeps through the night, and loves playing with my resident dog. Ethel is a very special girl and will be a great addition to any family! Puppy Vetting Requirements:        Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be “fully” vaccinated. It is the adopter’s responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog.      Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog!  TO ADOPT:       The adoption fee for this puppy is $485, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter.    If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online bit.ly/adoptaluckydog   Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption.
