Story

• Rescue Story: Meet Tonki👋 In April 2025, a group of small dogs—believed to be victims of an illegal breeding operation—were found abandoned together on the streets of South Korea. Tonki was one of them. Now, he’s ready to leave his difficult past behind and begin a new chapter as a beloved member of a loving family. Having learned how to live happily with humans in his foster home, Tonki is patiently waiting for his forever home—where he’ll be cherished, protected, and loved the way he truly deserves. • Personality: Sweet, Friendly, Bright Tonki is a lovable, easygoing pup with a bright, happy energy. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves showing his humans just how much love he has to give! While he may need a little extra time to warm up to adult men, once he does, he becomes a loyal and devoted furry companion. • Affinity with - Dogs: Wonderful with other dogs! He’d do great as an only dog or as a second dog. - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Good with people, including kids / Needs a bit more time to warm up to adult men. • House Training: Fully housebroken - using pee pads indoors and going potty outside. • Walking Manners: Super gentle on leash and loves going for walks! • Bathing/Brushing: Tolerates both well. • Separation Anxiety: May howl briefly when first left alone, but once he settled, he relaxes and rests peacefully by himself. • Barks/Howls: Occasional barking when a male family member approaches suddenly. • Car Rides: Comfortable and calm • Appetite/Food Allergies: Big eater! / No food allergies found so far. • Likes/Dislikes: Likes to play with toys that make noise. / Not a fan of being lifted suddenly by a male family member • Shedding level (1~10): 1-2 • Health: Currently a healthy pup! He tested positive for heartworm when rescued, completed treatment successfully, and tested negative in Dec 2025. ----------- **Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee. Your support directly helps us continue rescuing and caring for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.

Story

Please contact Robert Badura (robert.badura@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.small sweet mama seeking fresh start and love! NYRA NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Nyra Best Guess for Breed: Maltese mix Best Guess for Age: 6 years as of March 2026 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 11.2 lbs as of 3/30 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: Puerto Rico shelter foster home - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here. Special adoption considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think this pup would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure she can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes. Nyra is Looking For: Nyra is a sato, a dog from Puerto Rico. She raised her baby Nahla well, and Nahla went off to get her own home. Now Nyra - who didn't get to see enough of the world in her previous situation - is ready to get her own humans. For sniffy walks, to see more of the world. And to love and be loved by. She wants to know where she belongs, that she is safe. In exchange, she promises loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say? Are you her fresh start? Is she the one you see by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once she has spent time in foster. care in the DC area 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

Meet Star! This spunky little dog was named Star because she sparkles with light. She will gleefully run up to you for attention even if she doesn’t know you. She’s the first to jump on your lap to kiss you on your cheek. You will often see her dancing on the sofa or in the house, full of happiness. Star is around 6 years old and weighs around 9 pounds. She is not accustomed to being on a leash, so a fenced yard is essential. She goes out for a potty break every few hours, like most small dogs. Star is very gentle and has never growled even once. She is perfect when being groomed and is very easy to care for. She does great around other dogs. Star had a dental and is current on vaccines and heartworm testing. If you would like to meet Star, please fill out her application here:https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index

Story

Meet Benny and Cooper, who came to CHR together. Both boys are sweet and friendly. Cooper likes to greet strangers by crawling on their lap and giving them a kiss on the cheek! Benny the extra tiny one, is a little shyer. They both love food and treats. If you like to relax watching TV, they will sit next to you and often crawl on your lap for cuddles. Because these two brothers came to the rescue together, we are adopting them together at a reduced adoption fee. Both boys have had full dentals, neutering, blood work, grooming services, and fecal tests. They are in great health and at the perfect age of 5. They are not used to going on walks, so a fenced yard would be perfect for them. If you would like to adopt these sweeties, apply here: https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index
