Story
🐾💛 Meet Lucky 💛🐾 Female | 10 Months Old | 20 lbs | Terrier / American Pit Bull Mix Lucky truly lives up to her name. This sweet girl has that perfect mix of playful puppy energy and calm, well-mannered behavior that makes her such a joy to be around. She can romp and play with her doggie friends one minute and then happily settle in by her human’s side the next. 🐶✨ She loves other dogs and, with the right introductions, we’re confident she could learn to love cats too. Even though she enjoys canine company, Lucky’s heart belongs to her people. She follows her humans everywhere and wants nothing more than to be part of the family! The kind of dog who sticks close without needing a leash because being near you is all she wants. 💛 Lucky is quiet, not a big barker or whiner, and incredibly smart. She’s already excelling at potty training and has learned how to use the doggie door at her foster mama’s house, proof of just how eager she is to learn and please. 🏡🐾 🐶 Lucky at a Glance: • Terrier / American Pit Bull mix • Female • 10 months old • 20 lbs • Playful yet calm and well-behaved • Loves other dogs • Human-focused and family-oriented • Quiet and gentle • Potty trained & doggie-door savvy Lucky is going to make an amazing family dog for someone ready to love her as much as she’ll love them. 🐾💛 📧 officeteam@alohailiorescue.com 📞 (808) 960-1704 🌐 www.alohailiorescue.com

Ruby enjoys playtime too and loves her toys, but her true love language is treats, that’s the quickest way straight to her heart. 🍪💕 Ruby can be a bit of a barker when she feels ignored, but honestly… one look at her sweet face and you’ll understand why giving her attention feels pretty effortless. 💗 🐶 Ruby at a Glance: • Jack Russell Terrier mix • Female • 3 years old • 10 lbs • Loves laps, cuddles, and belly rubs • Calm, clean, and well-mannered • Toy lover & treat motivated • Big personality in a tiny package If you’re looking for a loyal lap companion who brings sweetness, spunk, and endless affection, Ruby might just be your perfect match. 🐾💖 📧 officeteam@alohailiorescue.com 📞 (808) 960-1704 🌐 www.alohailiorescue.com
