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:  We will update this once he has spent time in foster care 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
Chip is practically a pro at fetch already and he is going to be OBSESSED when he grows up. He’s an active little guy who loves his toys. He’s quite good at keeping himself entertained. If you’d rather throw the ball in the yard or go to agility class instead of walks, he’s the pup for you! His favorite place to be is on top of you. Napping on the couch next to you is an acceptable alternative in his opinion. He hasn’t met many people or dogs so he’s still a little shy but he’s getting braver every day. Especially if that new friend happens to have a tennis ball or frisbee! He cries a little bit when he goes into the crate but quickly settles down and is comfortable hanging out by himself in there. He learned to go potty outside in just 2 days and will throw himself at the door to let you know he wants out. He would probably learn to ring a bell to go out just as fast. His only accidents now are if you don’t make it to the door in time.

Story
Current Location: Front Royal, VA Meet Lady Lady is a 2 year old, 40 lb girl with the softest long ears, a cool character spot on her back, and a heart that is slowly but surely opening up to the world. She is sweet, curious, and happy in her own quiet way, and the dog she is becoming with every passing day is something truly worth waiting for. The world feels like a big and sometimes scary place for Lady right now. Loud noises send her to her crate, her safe draped den where she can breathe and reset. Sudden movements or a leash catching unexpectedly can startle her into wanting to hide. She needs patience, gentleness, and an adopter who understands that trust is something Lady gives carefully and on her own terms. She has been in her foster home for a short time and she is already wagging her tail when she sees her foster mom and coming forward for pets. That is not a small thing for a girl like Lady. That is everything. The clearest window into who Lady really is comes in the quiet moments when she thinks no one is watching. Given free roam of the living room she bounces around playing with toys, gleefully destroying squeakers, and having the absolute time of her life. She beams when her foster mom checks on her in the middle of the night, tail wagging, ready for pets, completely herself. That joy is in there. It just needs the right environment to come out and stay out. Lady absolutely lights up around other dogs. She has found real comfort in the presence of a foster sister and chooses to lay nearby, watches carefully when the other dog gets treats, and is now starting to edge over for her fair share. A confident, friendly dog in her new home would make an enormous difference for Lady, giving her a guide and a buddy while she finds her footing. She is working on potty training and is making steady progress. She should be double leashed for now given how easily she can startle, but she is already beginning to look to her person to check that everything is okay before moving forward. That is trust being built in real time and it is a beautiful thing to see. Lady needs a very quiet home, ideally with a calm neighborhood and a confident dog friend to show her the ropes. She needs someone who will let her come forward at her own pace and who will find joy in every small moment of progress. In return she will give that person something extraordinary. A dog who chose them, fully and completely, because they were patient enough to let her. She is already precious. She is just getting started.
