Story
Introducing Julia! Julia is a gorgeous 2-year-old shepherd mix with a sleek coat, graceful build, and soulful eyes that draw you right in. She carries herself with grace, almost like a little deer, and her tall, expressive ears show exactly what’s on her mind. Julia is gentle, sweet, and very loyal—just like a true shepherd, she chooses her person and sticks by their side through thick and thin. She’s pretty low energy and would be perfectly content with the occasional stroll, followed by plenty of cuddle time. Her affectionate, easygoing nature makes her a joy to be around. She does well with kids, cats, and other dogs, and she’s food-motivated, crate trained, and housebroken. Julia is spayed, fully vaccinated, and ready to devote all her love and loyalty to her forever family

Story
Junebug & Basil came into Rescue 12/26/24 after spending a month living outside in their fenced yard after their mom was taken away in an ambulance and hospitalized long term. This duo is completely devoted to their person and wants nothing more than to be by their side, getting petting, giving kisses, and endlessly wagging their tails. Junebug is the social butterfly of the two and does wonderfully in any type of setting such as walking busy streets, going into Coffee houses, sitting beside you at restaurants, or even participating in local races and obstacle course events. Basil is more about being on guard and letting you know when things are going on in the yard or passing by the house. They are the perfect pair completely taking care of you and whatever your needs are. Bonded pairs are like adopting one really great dog… they complement each other and keep each other secure and happy making your job as a dog owner so much easier. These girls walk wonderfully on a leash and love a daily walk. They do not pull. They currently live in a large foster home with many other dogs and they enjoy playing with the other dogs, but at the end of the day, they snuggle up with the Foster mom and sleep next to her. Bonded dogs are harder to get adopted… when everybody meets these two, they can’t believe they are still in Rescue, including the vet that does their exams. She said they would be the best Dogs for anybody to adopt. They are the perfect size at 35 pounds each and they love to go for car rides and just be part of whatever you do. Fenced yard required so they do not adventure around. If you would like a fun pair that make you feel like the most loved person ever, contact irondawgs13@gmail.com for adoption application.

Please contact Chandler Jaffe (chandler.jaffe@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.beautiful boy looking for his forever home!MUFASA NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Mufasa        Best Guess for Breed:   German Shepherd mix   Best Guess for Age:  2 years as of Oct 2025        SEX:   Male   Approximate Weight:  60 lbs    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! Mufasa currently lives with other dogs and is doing well, but will need guidance on polite play. He is still learning appropriate social boundaries!   Currently Living at:  DC area foster home. Watch him be a goofy goober on his foster's Instagram: @thefosteringcrew   Watch this video of Mufasa getting some love from his foster parents! Watch this video of Mufasa being such a gentleman while being offered some water.     Mufasa is Looking For:    A loving home where he can be part of the family. He’s ready to give his love in exchange for long sniffy walks, frequent dog park visits, and belly rubs. Oh - and doggy school too so he can show you how smart he is! Can’t you see this handsome guy snuggling by your side?   What My Foster Says About Me: Mufasa is such a fun, sweet boy! He is doing great in his crate as well as house training. He's incredibly smart and is picking up 'sit', 'place', 'down', 'in (crate)', 'here', and 'touch' already! He's very responsive to corrections and is easily handled (did well in the bath too). He's a big, goofy sweetheart who wants to be near his people. He loves belly rubs, ear scratches, and sniffy walks. I bet he would love scent training! Mufasa is a typical GSD in that he loves attention and will let you know when he wants it. He will benefit from someone committed to providing him positive social interactions with other dogs and continuous training. He is a sweet boy with a lot of feelings and just needs a structured routine and committed family who is willing to work through some of these behaviors with him! Heartworm information: Mufasa is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but has been treated! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment.   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!  Please visit us online at    www.luckydoganimalrescue.org   .    BE A FOSTER!!!    Fosters make it possible for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to save and care for homeless and abandoned dogs!  To learn about fostering, please contact    fostering@luckydoganimalrescue.org   !

Having their own humans! Sarge is looking for his own humans to trot alongside on those sniffy walks and all the adventures they can dream up!

In exchange, he promises loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say?  Can you see him by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: Sarge is doing great! He has an incredibly calm demeanor, loves to play outside, and is eager to sniff all the sniffs. Sarge is also a natural velcro dog.
