Story
To learn more about Hardy, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org. Hardy 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. Meet Hardy, a sweet pup with a big personality, a wag-worthy stub tail, and a heart full of curiosity! Found as a stray, Hardy has made it very clear he’s more than ready to be someone’s best friend. This friendly, social boy brings joyful energy wherever he goes. Hardy may be compact, but he’s sturdy and energetic, with a build very similar to a Jack Russell. He loves toys, playtime, and especially treats. A true smart cookie, he enjoys puzzle toys that let him sniff, think, and put his problem-solving skills to work. He’s doing well with both potty and crate training, and like most puppies, Hardy is still learning his manners. He has some typical puppy mouthiness during play, but with continued training and plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and positive guidance, this boy is going to shine. Hardy would thrive in an active home ready to help him grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, and smart pup who’s equal parts fun and cuddles, Hardy just might be your guy!

Please contact Caitlin Finn (caitlin.finn@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet girl who has beauty AND brains! BEAUTY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!   Name:  Beauty        Best Guess for Breed:  Jack Russell terrier and Lab mix  Best Guess for Age:  11 months as of January 2026       SEX:  Female   Approximate Weight: 24 lbs as of 1/10/26; might have just a bit more to grow   Gets Along With:  Other dogs! She also 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:   DC area foster home   Beauty is Looking For:  Beauty has brains and a heart too and she knows what's most important in life - being safe and loved, knowing where she belongs! She's seeking her own humans for sniffy walks and romps and world exploration - and for all those great snuggles. She'd love to make pup pals along the way, and would like to go to dog school so she can show how super smart she is.    In exchange, she promises so many adoring gazes - and loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say? Is Beauty the one you see by your side? What My Foster Says About Me:   Beauty is the perfect size and is one of those dogs who quietly steals your heart just by being herself. From the moment she arrived, it was clear how special she is. She immediately got along well with our resident dog and has been very respectful of the cats! She is a snuggle bug with both dogs and humans and loves nothing more than curling up in bed and giving sweet kisses. She has done great sleeping through the night in her crate and has been such a respectful house guest so far. She’s the kind of dog who fits right into your life and makes everything a little sweeter. Whoever adopts her is going to be very, very lucky!       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 $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.

Story
Our Popeye may not have superhuman strength (like the cartoon character), but he sure has super canine cuteness! He is basically like a canine toddler, who finds everything you do fascinating, so he wants to be a part of it. He enjoys other dogs to play with, toys to chew on, walks, with you by his side, and any and all attention you offer him. He is a true lap dog and reserves the right to yours every evening. This puppy is crate trained and house trained already. Sleeps through the night. His happy place is by you on the couch or your bed. If you are interested in this most adorable bundle please let us know. Questions About this Animal?

Story
Spot is personality and then some. He is not only adorable, but he is also high energy, loving, and playful. Spot came to us as a stray from PG County. He is engaging, fun, and as cute as a button! Spot gets his name from the spots down his back. He is white with black spots, and he is also marked by his perky ears, his fun-loving nature, and his interest in getting attention from everyone. Spot loves people and other dogs too (we don't know about cats or children yet). He does not seem to know basic commands yet, but he iis treat motivated and will likely learn quickly. Spot is new to PAW, so we will update his profile as we learn more about him. ##2619250##
