Story
To learn more about Grumpy, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Much like Snow White’s dwarf, the name Grumpy doesn’t describe his true nature. He is a high-energy, strong, extroverted, playful pup who is bursting with enthusiasm and ready to share it with anyone willing to keep up. Grumpy also enjoys group play, getting along with other dogs and enjoying some rough-housing. He likes toys too, especially if a human is playing with him. Grumpy loves getting out for long walks and hikes, where he enjoys sniffing, exploring, and spending time with his people. Grumpy has got a good snoot on him, and sometimes catches a scent that he so much wants to follow, but with some direction from his partner and some tasty snacks, he will continue on his hike with you. He can be a little skittish in new surroundings, and would love a family that can slowly introduce him to all the great things life has in store. When Grumpy realizes you are the leader and he can take his cues from you, he shows his loyalty by leaning in to you. Grumpy can't wait to meet his new people and maybe even find a new name that reflects his joyful spirit.

Morag is a sweet, spunky gal that loves to play and check out everything this world has to offer. She is in foster with her brother Mapinguari and both are doing very well with house and crate training. Morag is great with children and animals and is so eager to meet people and explore.

Story
Meet Mokele-Mbembe, aka Kele! Kele may have a big name, but she's a tiny girl with a very laid-back approach to life. At just 6 weeks old, she's already mastered the art of minding her own business, finding a cozy spot, and taking a really good nap. She's currently living with two dogs and two kids, and so far, she's completely unbothered by the action around her. If the dogs want to cuddle, great! If not, she's perfectly happy doing her own thing. As for humans? Pick her up, give her a warm hug, and congratulations—you've officially become her favorite nap spot. Her hobbies include sleeping, making the cutest little noises as she drifts off, and attempting to carry sticks that are clearly above her weight class. Oh, and she lets out the tiniest burp after meals, which is just as adorable as you'd imagine! She's off to a great start with potty training! No accidents in her first couple of days with us, thanks to frequent potty breaks. She still wakes up every few hours overnight, but after a quick potty trip, she's right back to sleep. Kele is currently a mellow little cuddle bug, but she's still a baby, and there's plenty more personality waiting to emerge! If you're looking for a sweet little companion to grow with, Kele might just be your girl! Adoption Day: November 14th at PetSmart Tysons Corner from 10:00–10:30 AM, an approved adopter must be present to adopt.

Story
Mapinguari is a sweet, gentle little fella. He is in foster with his sister, Morag, and both are doing quite well with house and crate training. Like most puppies, he loves to eat, play, and explore but most of all he loves a good cuddle. He will ask to be picked up for a good nuzzle and some love. He’s learning his voice and has the cutest little bark that gives his floppy ears a bounce. The best attribute to Mapinguari is how gentle and loving he is, even at such a young age. Adoption Day: November 21st at PetSmart Tysons Corner from 10:00–10:30 AM, an approved adopter must be present to adopt.

Please contact Jodi Rosenberg (jodi.rosenberg@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Puppy who is Sweet as SugarSweet Sugar NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:     Sweet Sugar          Best Guess for Breed:      Pointer/Terrier mix Best Guess for Age:        14 weeks as of October 23, 26         SEX:       Female Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!):   15 pounds as of October 23, 26  Gets Along With:        Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs, cats and kids so long as they receive patience and proper training. Currently Living at:       DC area FOSTER HOME Special Adoption Considerations:        Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy. Sweet Sugar is recovering from surgery for a broken leg, we would be happy to talk to you about her recovery.  Sweet Sugar is Looking For:   Hiya, I’m Sweet Sugar and I can’t wait to join your family. I’d love to go on long sniffy walks and go play with other dogs at the dog park. Puppy school sounds like a great idea so I can show you what a smart girl I am. Can’t you find a place in your heart for me. What My Foster Says About Me: Sweet Sugar was found with a broken leg in SC and came up to DC for surgery. Not to brag but everyone at the animal hospital is in love and says she’s so happy and licky despite all she’s been through. She is ready to wow her forever family. She already knows sit and is quickly learning a place command. She eats her pills with no fuss and is great at going potty where she’s supposed.   Sweet Sugar is so playful, loves to give kisses, receive ear and neck scratches and makes the cutest piggy snorts when sniffing new smells. This gal can’t wait to get out of her cast so she can play outside, pounce on and shake her toys, and have free rein to jump into laps for cuddles.   Puppy Vetting Requirements:        Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be “fully” vaccinated. It is the adopter’s responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog. Due to this puppy’s young age, she/he has not yet been spayed or neutered.  As part of the adoption contract, it will be your responsibility, as the adopter, to ensure that this is done no later than 1/14/27. There are NO EXCEPTIONS and NO EXTENSIONS to this date. A non-refundable spay/neuter deposit will be collected if you would like Lucky Dog to pay for this animal to be spayed/neutered at one of our low cost partner vets. Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog!  TO ADOPT:        The adoption fee for this puppy is $485, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter.    If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online bit.ly/adoptaluckydog Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption.

Please contact Bita Mansouri (bita.mansouri@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Freckles! DANISH NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Danish          Best Guess for Breed:  Pointer/Lab mix    Best Guess for Age:   3 years as of Oct. 2026         SEX:  Female   Approximate Weight:  41.3lbs   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!   Currently Living at: Shelter in Puerto Rico---needs DC area foster or forever home!    Special adoption considerations:  Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think this pup would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure they can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes.   Danish is Looking For:  This young sato - a dog from Puerto Rico - is eager to get her own humans in the DC area for sniffy walks and romps and world exploration! Making pup pals along the way would be great, and she'd like to go to dog school, too, so she can show how super smart she is.  Most of all, though, she wants to know where she belongs, to be safe and loved. In exchange, she promises loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say? Can you see Danish by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: Coming soon! 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.
