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! We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: Vieques, PR shelter; needs an ADOPTER to get her freedom flight to the DC area! See this awesome girl in this video! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vL7fwj9OKGQ Special adoption considerations: Have you been to Vieques, a small island off Puerto Rico? It is such a different environment from the DC area. 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 the Vieques 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 Vieques 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! Lara is storing up all those adoring gazes - which you might get at close to eye level if you're sitting down! - and happy tail wags for her new humans. And she promises loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say? Can you see Lara 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!
