Story
URGENT FOSTER NEED!  Dobby is a big hunk of love looking for his people!   This guy is sweet and friendly to everyone, kids included. He wants to give kisses to every person he meets, and be snuggled close to you at home.  Dobby is SO EASY in the home!  He is polite, housebroken, and is a very smart boy - happy to promptly show you his "sit", "stay", and "down" commands.  He will relax most of the day and is accustomed to being in a crate.  When you come to let him out he smiles and wags his tail.  As an "older" fella at about 6 years, he does not need much exercise and is happy to get walked or play in the yard.  He’s 66 pounds of pure love. We suspect he is a Great Dane / terrier mix.    Dobby enjoys playing. He especially loves tug of war and fetch - he'll bring the toy back to you and expect you to tug on it for a couple of seconds, but once you tell him "leave it" he’ll let go and start the game again. When playtime is over he has no problem calming down.  He is very treat motivated, but he has no food aggression, so he will take any size treat from your hand gently.  He would love to sleep at the foot of your bed but he's perfectly happy in his own bed, especially if it’s placed in front of a door or window.  He can be dog selective so he is better as an only dog. PAW will support an adopter with training to ensure Dobby gets off to a good start in their home.  Check out what a good boy he is on his appearance on ABC This Morning - https://wjla.com/good-morning-washington/great-daneterrier-mix-dobby-steals-the-spotlight-looking-for-his-forever-home# PAW places animals in the MD, DC, northern VA, and southern PA area. ##1127125##

Story
At 63 pounds, Lacey is large and lovely, and her size is matched by her loving heart and desire to please. She is a sweet and loving young girl who is still getting used to her long legs and generous size. Her long legs make her a great runner, and she would make a perfect hiking, walking, or running partner.  "Sweet and beautiful" is how Lacey's foster describes her. Lacey loves people and other dogs and her youthful energy makes her a perfect playmate for both. Lacey enjoys walks and is learning to walk on leash. She is curious and enjoys being exposed to new and different environments. She is engaged and happy to go wherever her person wants, be it on leash or in the car, just to be nearby. At just one year old, everything is still new and fun for Lacey! Lacey is crate trained and housetrained. Once Lacey is exhausted, she loves to find a rug or warm spot on the floor or in her crate to curl up for a nap. She does not realize how large she is and because she loves her people, she tries to snuggle up very close! She loves being cuddled and pet. Lacey is looking for a home where she can be loved and engaged, and where she will continue to have adventures and learn about the fun and interesting world around her. ##2333555##

Story
Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.gorgeous Dane ISO fresh start and love! LARA NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Lara      Best Guess for Breed:  Great Dane mix    Best Guess for Age: 2.5 years as of May 2025      SEX:  Female   Approximate Weight:    85 lbs   Gets Along With: Lara gets along with other dogs and has lived with cats!  We haven't seen her with kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:  Puerto Rico shelter foster home; needs an adopter or foster in the DC area to get her freedom flight here!    See this awesome girl in this video! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vL7fwj9OKGQ   Special adoption considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are committed to helping them acclimate to a completely new environment. Giving Lara opportunities to interact with other dogs here (doggie playdates, welcoming resident dog in the home, doggie daycare, etc.) will help her so much - they will show her the ropes!    Lara is Looking For:  Lara is a pretty awesome dog who ended up in a Puerto Rico shelter through no fault of her own and is eager to once again have her own family. She's super sweet, loves humans, is dog-friendly and gentle with other dogs (see the video linked above) - she's got it all! Danes can be quite affectionate with their people and Lara would love humans who are eager for snugs. There just aren't enough homes on Puerto Rico for all the dogs in need, which is why Lara is hoping for an adopter here so she can get on a freedom flight up here!   She lives in a foster home down there right now with cats - she may chase in play, but mostly ignores them. Her foster, recorded a video of the cat bopping Lara in the nose and she just walked away. So with the proper approach to integration, she may do well with cats! Everyone there loves her and says she's a great, active dog.   What do you say? Is Lara the one you see by your side?     Heartworm information: Lara is a truly Lucky Dog! She tested positive for Heartworm disease but has already 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. We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the adoption counseling process.   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   !

Story
If you are interested in adopting this dog,  please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire at  https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic.  You can learn about the adoption process by visiting: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.  Dog's Name:   Bogey  (BOG0523OWSMN)Estimated Breed:   Pointer / Great Dane MIXApproximate Age:   7 yearsApproximate Weight:  94 lbsCurrently Living at:   BoardingAdoption Fee:   $400DOG'S DESCRIPTION:  Bogie was adopted from us as a puppy. His owner had to move and could not take him with her. He lived a lot of his life in Florida but is now back in the DMV. Bogie can by quite the character! He loves toys and people but would prefer to be your one and only. Meaning, he wants to be your only furry friend. Bogie will keep you lauging with his antics and would love for you to be his forever home. Bogie is very large and would do best with someone who is familiar with his breed or large breeds. Please consider bringing Bogie into your home!Given his size and energy level, we reccomend a home without small children. A nice yard is a must. This will provide him with the space he needs to romp and play to his heart's content. Bogey needs to learn boundaries and personal space with other dogs and he would really benefit from a home that can provide him with training and guidance in socializing with his canine friends.Bogey's affectionate nature and goofball personality makes him a wonderful potential family member for the right household. It's clear that he just needs someone who understands his needs and breed, and is willing to provide the necessary guidance and training to ensure he thrives in a new home. If someone is willing to give him a chance, they will be rewarded with a loyal and entertaining companion.Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.    Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.       Foster Program:    Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.  For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/ or email our Foster Coordinator at foster@k-9lifesavers.orgSPONSOR ME! Help Save Lives!    Make a tax-deductible donation today and help save a life.
