Story
Freddy is an 8-month-old puppy who’s incredibly friendly with both people and dogs. He loves cuddling, fetch, tug-of-war, and trips to the dog park.As part GSP, Freddy is a high-energy pup who needs an active home with 60–90 minutes of daily exercise, including at least 30 minutes of higher-energy activity like running, fetch, or dog park time. Ideally, he’d have access to a backyard or nearby dog park.He’s mostly potty trained and does well on a consistent schedule, though he may have accidents if left too long between potty breaks or when he gets overly excited meeting new people or dogs.Freddy currently needs to be crated when left alone and would do best in a home where he isn’t left alone for long periods. He’d likely thrive with another friendly dog around.He’s affectionate, playful, and would make an amazing companion for an active family.

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.

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.

LOCATION: Linden, VA Chip's adoption fee is fully sponsored — lucky pup! 🐶 Meet Chip! Chip is a fun-loving, energetic pup with a big heart and an impressive affinity for fetch – he’s truly a natural athlete! Whether he’s chasing a ball or entertaining himself with his toys, Chip brings a playful spirit and joy to everyday life. He also loves baths! Chip may take a little time to warm up to new people, but once he feels comfortable, his affectionate and loyal personality shines. He forms strong bonds and loves being close to his people—whether that’s relaxing on the couch or lying at your feet while you work. He’s still a puppy, though, and can get a little mouthy or overly excited during play but redirects well when given cues and boundaries. He will thrive in a home that offers structure and encouragement where he can continue building confidence. • Secure yard: Chip loves having space to run and play freely. • Exercise: He’s an active pup who benefits from regular playtime. He’s improving on leash walks but can still be a little fearful in new environments. • Companions: Chip has done well with other dogs, from calm companions to rough-and-rowdy playmates. He is also good with cats! • Crate trained: Chip does well in his crate and settles nicely, sometimes putting himself in for naps or chew toy time. He sleeps through the night and does not have crate accidents. • Potty training: Chip is still working on potty training and will need continued consistency and routine. • Toys: Chip has experienced a lot of change in his short life so far and can sometimes be protective of toys or high-value items, but he responds well to trades and positive reinforcement. • Kids: Chip does well with older children who can respect his space and help him continue building confidence. Are you Chip's hero? If so, apply to adopt today!
