Polo looks like a mix but take it from us - that dog is a prime example of the sporting breed - German Shorthaired Pointers. Keen nose, high intelligence, and boundless energy - check, check, and check! He's up for plenty of mental and physical enrichment - advanced agility training, nosework, lots of running in parks, or lots of of long excursions out in nature or any combination thereof will make Polo a happy, tired dog. AND all those will help bond Polo and his humans intensely while having so much fun. He and his forever family will be very lucky to have each other!  What My Foster Says About Me:  He is a happy and fun dog who needs lots of mental and physical enrichment!  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.

Story
Meet Manchester City! Looking for her forever home! This sweet 4.5-month-old girl is searching for the perfect family to call her own! Loves being outdoors and would happily spend hours exploring and playing. Full of puppy energy and loves her toys. Gets along great with our resident dogs and would thrive in a home with another playful pup, though she could also do well as an only dog with plenty of attention and exercise. Does well with cats. Great with kids. Sleeps quietly in her crate at night. Currently working on potty training and making great progress! She would do best with an active family that can give her plenty of exercise, love, and room to run and play. A home with a fenced yard or plenty of space to run would be ideal. If you're looking for a fun, affectionate, and adventurous companion, this girl might be your perfect match! Adoption Day: July 11th 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! ##2763067##

Story
Meet Preamble! If you're looking for a best friend who will fill your days with laughter, love, and endless puppy kisses, I'd love to introduce myself. Hi, I'm Preamble, a 10-week-old puppy! I'm the perfect blend of playful and cuddly. I love exploring the world, discovering new toys, and turning everyday moments into little adventures. Whether it's chasing a squeaky toy, investigating something new, or happily entertaining myself, I always find a way to have fun. But my favorite place of all is wherever my people are. I'm a pretty smart little guy, too! I've already learned how to sit, know how to go potty outside and will use a pee pad inside, and I love learning new things. Everyone says I'm a quick study, and I'm excited to keep growing with a family who will teach me all about the world. Even with my puppy energy, I also know how to relax. I have a wonderful off-switch and enjoy lots of cozy naps throughout the day. My absolute favorite time? Morning snuggles. There's nothing better than curling up beside you to start the day with a little extra love before we're off on our next adventure. I also love to sunbathe.  At bedtime, I'm an easy roommate—I sleep soundly through the night, whether it's in my crate or on a comfy dog bed, so everyone wakes up rested and ready for another fun day together. More than anything, I'm hoping to find a forever family who will love me as much as I'll love them. I'll bring you loyal companionship, happy tail wags, gentle cuddles, and a lifetime of unconditional love. All I ask in return is a little patience, lots of affection, and a home where I can grow into the incredible dog I'm meant to be. If you're ready for a best friend who will greet every day with joy, melt your heart with sweet puppy eyes, and remind you that life's greatest moments are often the simplest ones, I think we might be the perfect match. I can't wait to meet my forever family. Maybe it's you. Adoption Day: July 11th 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!      ##2768040##
