To learn more about Grumpy, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Grumpy will be at one of our adoption events this weekend! Visit our event page (https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/) to see which one—event listings are usually updated on Fridays with attending dogs. 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. He loves getting out for long walks and hikes, where he enjoys sniffing, exploring, and spending time with his people. Cars can make him anxious, but with patience and calm guidance (and some tasty treats) he is making progress, and once he settles he often leans in close for reassurance and affection. Grumpy can't wait to meet his new people and maybe even find a new name that reflects his joyful spirit.

Story
Mallory is a sweet, affectionate 10 yo German Shorthaired Pointer looking for a loving forever home in Prince George's County MD. She is spayed, 57 lbs., moderately active, and well socialized with children and other dogs. She is house trained, crate trained and command trained. She can stay home alone without separation anxiety or destructive behavior. Mallory would thrive with a securely fenced yard or two daily walks. Due to her prey drive, a home without pet birds or rodents is best; cat compatibility is unknown. She is sensitive to thunderstorms and fireworks, dislikes baths and nail trims, and occasionally urinates in her sleep so a bedtime potty break is important. She is very food motivated and will scavenge for unattended foods or trash that can lead to upset stomach. She is current on major vaccinations and microchipped. Veterinary records will be provided. I'm seeking a responsible, patient adopter who can offer Mallory a safe stable home for her senior years.

She’s sensitive to storms and loud noises and does best with a quiet space of her own when things feel overwhelming. Calla takes time to warm up and needs patience, reassurance, and a calm environment to feel safe. Calla’s ideal home would be one where she can be the only dog, allowing her to have her people all to herself and enjoy a peaceful, predictable environment.

Please contact Lowell Nelson (lowelln@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.happy boy looking for fresh start and love! RANDY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Randy      Best Guess for Breed: Pointer and shepherd mix     Best Guess for Age:   5 years as of July 2026       SEX:    Male   Approximate Weight:   42 lbs   Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats  but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!  We do not recommend Randy for a home with children under the age of 12.     Currently Living at:   DC area foster home.  Get to know Randy! Randy is Looking For:  This handsome guy landed in the shelter through no fault of his own. He is eagerly looking ahead to his new one. The one where he gets his own humans for long sniffy walks and romps and all the adventures they can dream up. He's well out of the puppy yips and is in his prime as an adult dog, so he knows what's most important in life: being safe and loved and under his own roof. In exchange, he promises loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Can you see him by your side?   What My Foster Says About Me:  Randy is a wonderful house guest!  His house training and crate training are excellent, he doesn’t bark in the apartment, sleeps through the night, and loves all people!  He entertains himself by playing with dog toys, sniffing under the couch, or putting himself in his crate to get in some chill time. When he wants some attention, he will gently offer to place his head in your lap for some ear scratches and when he’s gotten his fill, return to sniffing or snoozing, but he also loves to snuggle!  Randy enjoys his walks (did I mention one of his hobbies is sniffing?) and observing birds. He especially enjoys walks where he gets pets from kind neighbors and strangers.  When he’s settled in and knows he’s safe and loved, he will show you his most joyous zoomies. Overall, he’s a quirky lovable dog who would be a loyal companion     Heartworm information: Randy is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but has been treated! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. Randy has completed this activity restriction period   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 $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.  If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog   Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.   Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!  Please visit us online at    www.luckydoganimalrescue.org   .    BE A FOSTER!!!    Fosters make it possible for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to save and care for homeless and abandoned dogs!  To learn about fostering, please contact    fostering@luckydoganimalrescue.org   !

Please contact Caitlin Finn (caitlin.finn@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.baby pup needs a home!STEWART NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!   Name:       Stewart           Best Guess for Breed:        Pointer/Lab mix   Best Guess for Age:        4 mos as of October 2026          SEX:       Female   Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!):     19 lbs as of October 13, 2026   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:       Shelter. This pup needs a DC-area foster or an adopter to make their way out of the shelter.   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.  Stewart is Looking For:        Hiya! I've loved my time in the puppy pile, but we are each ready to pack our bags and find our very own forever home! I'm looking for a home that will let me play with toys and get my puppy zoomies out and give me snuggles in between playtimes. When I'm a little older, I can't wait to explore my new neighborhood on lots of walks, and I'd really like to make a bunch of doggie friends along the way. Oh, and I should probably take a puppy obedience class or two so I can show you how smart I am. What do you say? Do you have room in your heart for me?   What My Foster Says About Me: Coming soon! 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.      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.

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!
