Story
Meet Shaw! Shaw is an energetic, playful, and super sweet boy who is fully potty trained and very well-behaved in the house. He doesn’t need to be crated when you leave, rarely barks, and loves to curl up on the couch with soft blankets. He knows sit, shake, and wait, and sleeps in his crate at night. Shaw LOVES toys, especially balls, and is great at fetch and jumping to catch. He’ll bring toys to you when he wants to play or entertain himself pushing them around. He’s a cuddly guy who loves to rest his head on you… but he’s also a big licker! Giving him a toy helps redirect his excitement so he can enjoy calm snuggles. Shaw can be nervous with new people and needs slow introductions, especially inside the home. He currently lives with kids 10 and 14, but can be anxious around younger or unfamiliar children. Treats, toys, and being ignored at first help him warm up. He’s much more comfortable meeting new people out and about and at our adoption center and meets new dogs easily. Speaking of dogs, Shaw loves them. A playful dog companion would be ideal to help build his confidence and keep him busy. He enjoys walks, has lots of energy, and would do great with an active family. A fenced yard is a bonus, but he also does well on a tie-out. Shaw is goofy, affectionate, athletic, and so much fun. He just needs a patient, understanding home with older kids and a playful dog friend. Once he trusts you, he’ll be your loyal, loving, cuddly buddy.

Story
Meet Teddy, the adorable dude with a heart as big as his love for tennis balls! He’s a tidy little guy who keeps his space neat and loves snuggling up with his likimat, toys, blankets, and of coursehis favorite people! Teddy is a total goofball who enjoys a good game of fetch and a puzzle feeder challenge. He’s a quick learner, always happy to please, and easy to correct when needed (because he’s got a good head on those shoulders!). While Teddy is mostly quiet in his room, he’ll let you know if he needs a potty break or spots a fellow dog friend (he's a bit dog-selective, especially through fences). But he’s quick to get back on track with a little guidance. This playful, affectionate boy just wants to be loved and is ready to shower you with all his goofy, cuddly energy. He’s a pro at sitting, staying, and heeling and he’ll happily show off his skills. If you’re looking for a fun, loyal, and loveable companion, Teddy’s your guy!

Story
Draco is a very good boy with a wonderful, easygoing personality. He does great in a crate when you need to step out and is well-mannered on walks. He understands commands and is overall a well-behaved, eager-to-please companion. He’s done well with teenagers and shows no concerning behaviors around people, strangers included. At the Sanctuary, Draco has been around dogs of all sizes and ages and has done wonderfully with everyone. Cats are still an unknown for Draco and would likely require some guidance and training, so a cat-free home would be ideal for him. When it’s time to relax, Draco is all about the cuddles, especially during TV time. He enjoys toys, though he’s perfectly happy to skip them if something more interesting is going on. He has a medium-to-low energy level, making him adaptable to many home environments. Handsome, loving, playful, and gentle, Draco has a beautiful soul and an excellent demeanor. He’s truly an all-around great dog who’s ready to make someone very happy.

Story
Meet Donnie! Donnie is a happy, lovable guy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He’s always in a good mood and truly loves life; his outgoing, sweet nature will have you smiling every single day. He hasn’t met a person or dog he didn’t want to be friends with! Donnie is well-trained and eager to please. He knows commands like sit, stay, lay down, and “settle,” and he’s both leash and crate trained, though he does just fine without a crate as well. He walks well on a leash and enjoys getting out for adventures. This boy loves attention and is a total cuddle bug at heart. He enjoys leaning into his people for affection and will happily soak up belly rubs for as long as you’re willing to give them. He’s well-mannered when meeting new people, no jumping, just lots of love. Donnie is great with other dogs and currently lives with a smaller dog, doing very well. He has also been around a 2-year-old child and did great, though due to his energy level, he may be best suited for kids who are comfortable around larger, active dogs. He has also been around a cat and respectfully gives space when needed. He is definitely on the higher-energy side and loves to play, fetch is one of his favorites, and he can happily go all day! He also gets the occasional zoomies, but once he’s had his exercise, he settles down nicely and enjoys relaxing. Donnie would thrive in an active home that can provide regular exercise, playtime, and structure to help him manage his excitement. He would make an amazing companion for someone who enjoys walks, playtime, and an affectionate, fun-loving dog by their side. If you’re looking for a joyful, energetic, and incredibly loving companion, Donnie might just be your perfect match!

Story
Meet Katie B! This adorable girl has already come such a long way and continues to make progress every single day. While she may be shy at first, underneath that timid exterior is a sweet dog who truly wants to please and is learning how wonderful life with people can be. Katie B settles down nicely in her kennel or will quietly find a cozy place to relax. She is still learning how to walk on a leash and doesn’t fully understand commands yet, but her house manners are coming along very well. She’s the kind of dog who learns best with patience, consistency, and gentle encouragement. Katie B gets along well with other dogs and has shown no negative reactions to cats. Children should be fine for her as long as they understand to give her space and allow her to come to them on her own terms. She can be nervous about cuddling at first, but she has made incredible progress. Once she settles onto your lap, she relaxes and truly enjoys attention and gentle petting. She does tend to “start over” with new people and needs a little time to feel safe again, but she warms up faster as her confidence grows. Right now, Katie B is still learning how to play and discover what it means to simply be a dog. Watching her progress has been incredibly rewarding, and her little victories make her even more special. She came to us on the higher end of the semi-feral scale, but with patience and love she has already made tremendous strides and is now much more comfortable with people. Katie B will thrive in a calm, low-energy home with a patient, dog-savvy family willing to continue helping her build confidence. The family lucky enough to earn her trust will gain an incredibly rewarding companion and watch a beautiful transformation unfold.

Story
Smokey Boy is the champion of chill. He sleeps overnight in his crate and lays down in the car and enjoys the ride. His leash manners are flawless and once he has found the door he will let you know when he needs to go out for a potty break. He listens up to no or stop and loves snuggles. A trip to the pet store for his very own doggie bed and maybe a new bowtie or two are on his to do list. All these things combine to make him the perfect addition to any family. If you think he might be the one for you, please apply below to meet this pint size gentleman. www.lucky7dogrescue.com/applynow
