Story
Meet Kona, the 11 months old, 70lbs pony!!! My best guess is that she is a Great dane/ Gsp mix. Her size, structure, drinking, slobbering and passing wind behaviour equals that of a GD, her agility, brightness and spotty chest indicate GSP. But who knows? We do know though that she will be XL, as she still has half a year to grow into her ginormous paws . Kona's ears are floppy and do their own thing when she runs, zooms and jumps If you like active, young, large dogs, but want to add an already trained one to your family, Kona is your babe! - potty, crate, house trained - great in the car and off leash - loves, loves, loves kids, but due to her size & bounciness, I would recommend ages 8+ - adores other dogs, but would be ok as the only dog in a VERY ACTIVE HOUSEHOLD  - can be a little timid at first, but warms up quickly - wants & needs all the toys (bones, stuffies, squeakers, you name it) - highly treat/ food motivated  - super snuggly once settled Kona is the full package In foster care in Vienna, 22182 and ready to meet approved applicants! Kona is a beautiful, sweet-natured girl with a big heart and an even bigger love for her people. She is affectionate & enjoys attention . Kona is an intelligent, high-energy dog who needs both physical activity and mental stimulation to thrive. She is not a couch-potato pup and will do best in a very active home—one that enjoys walks, playtime, training, enrichment, or has a large fenced yard where she can burn energy in healthy ways.  This sweet girl is looking for adopters who understand that smart dogs need engagement and consistency. With the right environment, structure, and commitment, Kona will make an incredibly loyal and rewarding companion.   In foster care in Vienna! Adoption Day: February 14th at PetSmart Tysons Corner from 10:00–11:00 AM, an approved adopter must be present to adopt. Some pups may stick around until 11:00 AM for the public event—check our Facebook page closer to the date to see if this pup will be attending the extra fun!  ##2357322##

Story
We acquired Kola in the heart of the COVID pandemic in 2020. She captured our hearts with her energy, personality, and gentle yet protective nature. We purchased Kola from a family from North Carolina and she was born at the end of January. So, she is coming up her birthday soon. Her birthday is January 22nd. She will be 6 years old next week. We are looking for a new home for Kola because we recently had our son (15 months). Although she’s really good with the baby, we are unable to keep up with her daily needs (walking and playing). She gave our family some great years and we want to ensure we find a good home for her years to come. If you are passionate about animals and family oriented, please give her profile a look. Thank you!

These pups are in Washington, District of Columbia too!

Story
Toffee is a 3.5–4-month-old, 20lb puppy, who’s all legs, sweetness, and curiosity. She’s a fun, gentle girl with a naturally shy side, but her confidence grows more each day as she learns about the world around her. She’s currently thriving in a busy foster home with two female resident dogs, three cats, and two teenagers ... she’s handling the everyday chaos beautifully. Toffee is doing great with both house-training and crate-training, and she absolutely loves playing with other dogs. Because Toffee takes cues from confident pups, she will do best in a home with a friendly, well-adjusted dog companion who can help show her the ropes. She’s still learning polite manners with cats (she’s more playful than they prefer), but she’s eager to please and making steady progress with guidance. Toffee is a loving, thoughtful puppy who will blossom in a patient home that can continue building her confidence and helping her shine.

Story
handsome young boy ISO happily ever after! HT NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!   Come meet HT and other great adoptable dogs this Saturday (1/31) from 11 am -2 pm at the PetSmart in Alexandria (3351 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305)!   Name:  HT       Best Guess for Breed:   Pointer mix  Best Guess for Age:  6 years as of January 2026         SEX:   Male   Approximate Weight:  67 lbs   Gets Along With:  HT likes other dogs and needs to go to a home with a friendly resident dog. We haven't seen him with cats but are happy to discuss integration techniques with any interested adopters. HT should not go to a home with children under the age of 12.   Currently Living at:  DC area home   Special adoption considerations:    HT can be a little nervous and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog who will show him that all is well!   All about HT:   HT arrived into our care back in 2020 and was adopted out to a loving home. He has been very well taken care of! His previous humans say he's a sweetie who really likes being around his people. In the home, he's a good boy whose crate is his safe space. He returns to his crate on command with 'Time for bed,' and sleeps there overnight. He also stayed in his crate when his humans were out of the house.   He loves his walkies! Likes to pull a bit ahead, taking in all the scenery. He doesn't react to other dogs or people - maybe a quick sniff but that's it. Off leash with other dogs, he likes playing chase and running. Wrestling and roughhousing isn't his thing - he prefers open play. (He would not be the best fit for a home with a resident dog who likes rough play.)   He is long out of the puppy yips and knows what he loves - walks, adventures, his people, a chill home, a friendly resident dog who will show him the ropes, his people. And don't forget his people. He is eager to once again love and be loved, to bestow upon his people all those adoring gazes he's stockpiling. What do you say? Is HT the one you see by your side? 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.
