Story
Please contact Jodi Rosenberg (jodi.rosenberg@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.young boy ready to play! PORKY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!   Come meet Porky and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (1/11) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Kensington (5154 Nicholson Ln, Kensington, MD 20895)!   Name:  Porky         Best Guess for Breed:  Pointer and Boston terrier mix Best Guess for Age:  5 months as of December 2025       SEX:   Male   Approximate Weight - he is still growing!:  15 lbs as of 12/23/25   Gets Along With:  Porky spent his first night in D.C. foster care with a dog and cat and loved them both!! We haven't seen them kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:  DC area foster home   Watch this video of Porky playing ball!   Special adoption considerations:  Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy.  Porky is Looking For:  His forever home! He's at the tail end of puppyhood and has got all that awesome young-dog energy. He's eager for romps and playtime and all the adventures his new humans can dream up. Quality kibble and a cushy dog bed - yes, those too! But you know what he wants most of all? To know where he belongs, to be safe and loved. Porky has so much to give to his humans - adoring gazes, love, and loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Can you see him trotting down there by your side? (He says a name change would be just peachy too!) What My Foster Says About Me: Porky is pure happiness wrapped up in a puppy.  From the moment he stepped off the transport van, he was all tail wags and joy, thrilled to meet every single dog and person, as if he’d been waiting his whole life to make new friends. His first night in foster care went great! He met our large resident dog and immediately showed off his excellent manners with happy wiggles, playful bows, and sweet little requests to play—then promptly decided she was his new best friend. He happily followed her around everywhere, bouncing along behind her and occasionally popping up to jump on her like the most adorable little brother, clearly convinced she was put here just for him to play with. He also met our cat (the unquestioned boss of the house) and handled it like a pro, curious and interested, but gentle, respectful, and polite. With people, Porky is an absolute cuddle bug. He loves being close, soaking up attention, and receiving endless scratches. He’s doing surprisingly well on leash considering it's brand new to him, though he will occasionally request to be picked up—because he knows he’s cute, and yes, it usually works.He also traveled in the car like a pro!

Story
Toffee is a 3.5–4-month-old, 20lb puppy, who’s all legs, sweetness, and curiosity. She’s a fun, gentle girl with a naturally shy side, but her confidence grows more each day as she learns about the world around her. She’s currently thriving in a busy foster home with two female resident dogs, three cats, and two teenagers ... she’s handling the everyday chaos beautifully. Toffee is doing great with both house-training and crate-training, and she absolutely loves playing with other dogs. Because Toffee takes cues from confident pups, she will do best in a home with a friendly, well-adjusted dog companion who can help show her the ropes. She’s still learning polite manners with cats (she’s more playful than they prefer), but she’s eager to please and making steady progress with guidance. Toffee is a loving, thoughtful puppy who will blossom in a patient home that can continue building her confidence and helping her shine. Fostered in Evans, GA Available for adoption throughout much of the U.S. via our transport program Adoption Inquiry Form (copy and paste into browser) https://form.jotform.com/211295763938164
