Story
My name is Astra and my sister and I, both landed in a shelter that is run by some very nice people.  They have reached out to Critter Cavalry Rescue to ask for help getting us out and in to a foster or forever home.  We do not have to go together but we are both very sweet 5 month old, 19 pound Husky/Aussie mix girls who are very happy and loving.  We need a nice active life with a couple, a single athletic person, or a family with children would be great too!  My coat of fur is super soft like an Aussie and my pretty ears stand up like the Husky breed.  I am going to be a 50-55 pound girl when I grow up and I bet I get lots of attention when you take me on walks.  I am ready for a new life with a fenced yard and lots of people for me to love!  Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested and please tell them where you live…city and state.  ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.March 26, 2024, 11:20 pm

Story
Please contact Kady Hammer (KadyH@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Beautiful, fluffy, and adoptable!LOTUS NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Lotus         Best Guess for Breed:  Husky/Sheltie mix Best Guess for Age: 2 years old as of Match 2024       SEX:   female   Approximate Weight:  35lbs   Gets Along With:   Other dogs! We have not seen Paris with cats but she can be tested. Because Lotus is shy, she needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog. Due to her shy personality, we do not recommend her for a home with children under the age of 12.   Currently Living at:   South Carolina shelter - needs a foster!   Special adoption considerations: Lotus is a truly Lucky Dog. Although she has tested positive for heartworms, treatment has been scheduled! 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.  We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process.   Lotus is Looking For:    Her forever home! This young girl is eagerly looking forward to her new one. The one where she gets her own humans for long sniffy walks, romps in parks, and all the adventures her family can dream up. She hasn't seen nearly enough of the world yet and is looking forward to making new pup and people pals along the way. Exploring all the toys to see what she likes best, quality kibble, and a cushy dog bed are on her wish list as well. Lotus has been shy since arriving to the shelter and because of this, she is looking for a home with another dog to show her the ropes.   She's up for snuggling too - and promises lots of adoring gazes and love and loyalty for all her days. What do you say? Is this sweetie the one you can see 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 $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter. 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!

Name:   Sitka       Best Guess for Breed:   Husky      Best Guess for Age:  2 years as of March 2024        SEX:    male   Approximate Weight:   56lbs   Gets Along With:   Other dogs! We have not seen Sitka with children but he can be tested. Sitka is not recommended for a home with cats due to his breed.   Currently Living at:   South Carolina shelter - Sitka needs a foster home to make his way to DC!   Special adoption considerations: Sitka is a truly Lucky Dog.

Huskies are smart and need plenty of mental and physical enrichment - they were bred for all-day activity! If you don't provide them with that enrichment, they WILL make their own in the home and you'll be doing repairs or replacing items. But if you get their needs and meet them, oh, they are just awesome, amazing dogs full of personality.    Sitka is gonna be such a fun companion. He's offering lots of laughs and opportunities for you to stay active in exchange for a home with central air conditioning and humans who appreciate his smarts and keep him challenged.

Story
Male, 3 years old, 55 lbs Freezie has had a rough year. He was completely abandoned in someone's yard. We don't get it b/c he's just the sweetest, gentlest guy. He likes to impress and giving him treats is easy; he'll just open his mouth and you can drop all the goodies right in! Freezie is new to the rescue. We will add more information as we get to know him better. Freezie is generously sponsored by John Halter in memory of friend and colleague, Gail Lipton. If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application. If the animal has "HAS APPLICATION" listed, they are still available to receive additional applications but also may be in the process of being adopted soon. Apply for a DOG: http://www.citydogsrescuedc.org/adoptable-dogs.html Interested in saving more lives? Foster a dog today! Learn more, see our list of dogs needing foster, and apply, https://www.citydogsrescuedc.org/foster-a-city-dog.html City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC. We do not have a shelter. CDCK has a thorough adoption process to find the best possible fit for each of our dogs and cats (we do not operate under a first-come, first-served model). Upon accepting a new cat or dog into the organization, we provide a basic vet visit that includes necessary vaccinations, disease screenings, deworming, microchips, and spay/neuter for dogs six months and older. We do not provide a comprehensive medical exam before adoption. As a result, sickness, injury, and disability may exist unbeknownst to CDCK. City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is not responsible for payment of any vet care, including known and unknown medical conditions once a cat or dog is adopted from us. Dog specific: Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines. They are tested for HW, Lyme, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis. Most cats and dogs will have a house-training accident in the initial days in their new home and we cannot guarantee any pet is housebroken or crate trained. We also update our Facebook page daily with new cats and dogs.

Name: Miles       Best Guess for Breed:  Husky mix   Best Guess for Age:  1 year as of February 2024     SEX:   Male   Approximate Weight:   40 lbs   Gets Along With: Miles does well with other dogs! We haven't seen him with kids but he can be tested. Due to his breed, he is not recommended for a home with cats.    Currently Living at:  DC area foster home!   Special adoption considerations: Miles is a truly Lucky Dog. Although he has tested positive for heartworms, treatment has been scheduled! 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.  We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process.    Miles is Looking For:  Miles is a pretty awesome representative of his breed (if you know, you know!). This is what the shelter says about him:'Miles is affectionate, playful, intelligent ...and we don't even need to say - handsome! That is so obvious. He has a fairly good recall - for a young husky. When Miles wants something - he is vocal. (His sounds make you feel like you are in the Call of the Wild story / movie.) Miles has played well with both male and female dogs. For the few times that Miles has been on a leash, he walked fine. He also does fine in cars.'   The most important thing you need to know is that adopting Miles for his looks alone is a bad idea. Huskies are smart and need plenty of mental and physical enrichment - they were bred for all-day activity! If you don't provide them with that enrichment, they WILL make their own in the home and you'll be doing repairs or replacing items.

What do you say? Is he the boy you want by your side for all those miles you have to cover before you sleep?   What My Foster Says About Me:   Miles is such a sweet boy. He loves to play - more with people than toys.  Always playful and happy, loves to cuddle on the couch or on the floor at our feet. He is very exuberant and a little hard to walk, but with some training, he will be the best companion! He is good with our dog as well. He loves to cuddle next to us on the couch and he loves car rides. Miles is such a sweet dog! He is so handsome, and hardly sheds. A great companion!!   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.
