Story
Current Location: Mechanicsville, VA I'm Taco and here is a little bit about me. I'm a sweet boy of about 40lbs and almost 6 months old. I love to sleep in my crate and to play outside with my foster siblings. I walk well on the leash and am very good about doing my business outside. I am a very playful boy and like to explore all that I can but my favorite thing to do is to find shoes and bring them to my spot on the couch. I don't like to chew them, I'm just a collector. My second favorite thing is to give out kisses and try and sit on your lap. But most of all, I would love to go on walks, runs or any outdoor adventure. I would love my home to be in a urban setting with a big backyard so I can run and play. I’ve been looking for my forever family, so if that Is with you, please click “apply for adoption” or submit an application through the Adopt tab.

Story
Please contact Chandler Jaffe (chandler.jaffe@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.is not pre-Olympian giant! Is sweet puppers! TITAN NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!   Name:    Titan          Best Guess for Breed:    Golden retriever and shepherd mix    Best Guess for Age:    15 weeks as of 11/22/25        SEX:   Male   Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!):    22 lbs as of 11/21/25   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:   Puerto Rico shelter - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here!   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.    See this sweetie in this video! - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/13DD8QGWxQw Titan is Looking For:   Hi! I'm Titan. My sister Tilly and I are satos, from Puerto Rico. It's been great growing up with her but we're ready to split up and get our own human families. I'm looking for long sniffy walks, romps in parks, and all the adventures my new humans can dream up! I definitely want to make pup pals along the way and go to puppy school so I can show how super smart I am.    I also have a whole bunch of kisses and tail wags to give my new humans, and I have so much love and loyalty for them. What do you say? Is that what you want? Do I get to go home with you? What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once this pup has spent time in foster care. 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. 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! BE A SPONSOR!!!!       Sponsors help Lucky Dog support the many dogs we save. To learn more about sponsorship, please contact       info@luckydoganimalrescue.org       .   &#226&#128&#139November 24, 2025, 8:41 am

Story
 &#226&#156&#168 Meet Jasper – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Perfect Home &#226&#156&#168 Handsome, happy, and oh-so-lovable, Jasper is a 2 ½-year-old Goldendoodle (born 1/25/22) who weighs about 50 pounds. Raised from a puppy by his current family, Jasper has been deeply loved, but as life has grown busier and noisier around him, he’s shown us that what he truly craves is peace, calm, and a more serene environment. Jasper is a wonderful boy who loves the simple joys of life—long walks on leash, fun play sessions at the dog park, and spending time with his people. He’s great with other dogs, both at home and out in social settings, and would likely thrive with a friendly canine companion to share his days with.   What Jasper needs most is a quieter household, ideally an adult home or one with older teens, where he can relax without constant sudden noises or stress. Inside, he’s housetrained, well-mannered, and happiest in a calm space where he can simply enjoy being with his humans. Outside, he’s active, playful, and always ready for a little adventure. Jasper is already an exceptional dog—he just needs the right home to let his gentle, loving nature shine.   If you think you can give Jasper the peaceful life he deserves, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. He’s ready to become someone’s loyal, loving best friend.   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comNovember 15, 2025, 8:28 pm
