Story
Current location: Chester, VA Hi, I'm Jean! Let me start by saying that first impressions aren't exactly my strong suit. I'm a little like that person who seems awkward at a party but turns out to be the funniest, most lovable one in the room once you get to know them. When I meet new people, I can be a little shy, and when I meet new dogs, I sometimes get a bit snappy. I know, I know. Not exactly the best way to make friends! But here's the thing: give me a day to settle in, and I'll be everyone's new bestie. Seriously. Once I realize we're friends, we're FRIENDS. Underneath my slightly awkward introduction is an incredibly loving, cuddly, playful girl with a whole lot of personality. I absolutely adore affection and snuggling up with my favorite humans. But don't let my cuddly side fool you. I've also got plenty of energy for playtime. I'm looking for someone who understands that the best friendships aren't always instant. Sometimes a girl just needs a little time to feel comfortable enough to show her true colors. And trust me, once you get past my awkward introduction, you'll discover a sweet, silly, affectionate best friend who will keep you laughing and shower you with love. So what do you say? Give me a chance to make a second impression. I promise it's a whole lot better than my first! Love, Jean

Story
To learn more about Ozzie, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org. Meet Ozzie, a spunky Feist mix with a shiny black coat, a playful spirit, and enough enthusiasm to turn every day into an adventure! This handsome youngster is always ready for fun, whether he's zooming around the yard, chasing his dog buddies, or engaging in a friendly wrestling match. If you've been looking for a dog who can keep up with an active lifestyle, Ozzie may be your perfect match. Ozzie is more than just a bundle of energy—he's also a smart boy with great house manners. He appears to be both house-trained and crate-trained (though we can’t guarantee it), rides quietly in a crate during car trips, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He even shares space peacefully with cats, preferring to mind his own business rather than stir up trouble. Ozzie can be a little cautious when meeting new people and may announce their arrival with a bark, but once he realizes there's nothing to worry about, he's quick to settle down. Because he's still a young dog with plenty of puppy energy, Ozzie would thrive in a home that can give him lots of opportunities to play, exercise, and explore. An energetic canine companion would be a huge bonus—he absolutely loves having a four-legged friend to romp around with. If you're looking for a cheerful sidekick who will keep you smiling and make every day a little more exciting, Ozzie is ready to meet you!

Pretty Girl! ANGELINA NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Angelina          Best Guess for Breed:  Feist/Terrier mix    Best Guess for Age:  10 months as of Nov. 2026          SEX:  Male   Approximate Weight:  16.6lbs as of 11/4   Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:  Shelter in Puerto Rico---needs DC area foster or forever home   Special adoption considerations:  Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think this pup would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure they can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes.   Angelina is Looking For:  Her forever home! This little lady can't wait to be the apple of your eye, the Pitt to your peach, and the love of your life! She can't wait to explore her new neighborhood, make new doggie friends, and spend time snuggling with you after a long day of adventures. What My Foster Says About Me:   Coming soon! 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 $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter. 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!  Please visit us online at      www.luckydoganimalrescue.org   .    BE A FOSTER!!!

Story
Meet Susye — A Young Girl Ready for a Home of Her Own Sometimes the best dogs have the hardest beginnings. Susye’s second chance began when a Nashville Fire Department EMT realized that the homeless woman caring for her would not be leaving the hospital. He could not bear the thought of this young dog being left with nowhere to go, so he brought Susye home and made sure she was safe. For the past three months, Susye has been living with her firefighter foster dad and his four dogs. She has been a happy, peaceful addition to the family and has settled into home life beautifully. She is crate trained when needed, loves using the dog door, and enjoys spending time in the fenced backyard. Now fully vetted and spayed, Susye is turning 8 months old this month and is ready for a forever home with the stability she deserves. She weighs 43 pounds. We believe Susye may be a Feist, Rat Terrier, or Jack Russell Terrier mix, possibly with some herding breed influence. She is bright, active, affectionate, and eager to be part of whatever is happening. Like many young herding and terrier mixes, she will do best with regular exercise, engagement, and continued training. Although Susye adores her foster dog siblings, they are all older. Her foster dad cannot help but think she would especially love a home with a younger, playful dog companion who can match her energy and enjoy growing up alongside her. Her firefighter foster dad also works 12-hour shifts, and caring for five dogs has become more than he can reasonably maintain long-term. Susye is loved and safe, but this was always meant to be her stepping stone—not her final destination. She would thrive with a family that can give her companionship, consistency, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to use her smart young mind. A securely fenced yard would be wonderful, and another playful dog would be a big bonus. Susye has already experienced more uncertainty than any puppy should. Now she is ready for the part of her story where she belongs somewhere for good. ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.November 9, 2026, 6:50 pm

Story
We have had Bailey since her birth in February 2021. She is about 12 lbs. and has a very pleasant disposition. She is low maintenance and her favorite thing to do is lay down and have her belly rubbed. Her favorite games are to run around in circles and she also loves to play fetch. She is great with kids and is not aggressive. When scared or intimidated, she is likely to run and hide or curl up next to you for a hug. She may bark when around unfamiliar people, but calms down within a few minutes. She is used to being the only pet at home, but loves to play with other dogs.

Story
🧡 Meet Rusty 🧡 At 10 years young, Rusty is ready to spend his golden years surrounded by the love, comfort, and kindness every senior pup deserves. 🐾 This handsome long-haired Chihuahua mix may be a little shy when you first meet him, but give him a little time to feel safe, and you'll discover his favorite thing… getting all the scratches and affection his little heart desires! ❤️ Rusty isn't looking for a life full of adventure and excitement. He's much more interested in the simple things — a cozy place to lounge during the day, a peaceful home, and people who understand that the best friendships sometimes take a little time to bloom. 🌻 He's also good with other dogs, so he may enjoy having a furry friend around! Rusty does have a few special care needs, including daily thyroid medication and regular ear cleanings, but those are just little parts of loving a senior boy like him. All Rusty wants is a soft place to land and someone who will give him the time he needs to feel at home. After 10 years of life, we hope his next chapter is filled with all the comfort, gentle affection, and unconditional love he deserves. 🏡💕 🐾 Rusty is located in Texas. His adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport and includes current shots, microchip, neuter and heart worm test and current on prevention. If you are interested in adopting Rusty please complete the adoption application at the link below.
