Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.joyful boy ready to play! HARRIS NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:   Harris          Best Guess for Breed:  Pointer and hound mix  Best Guess for Age: 1.5 years as of July 2024         SEX:  Male   Approximate Weight: 44 lbs   Gets Along With:  Other dogs! He has been seen with children but hasn't . He lives with cats, but might try to chase them playfully, so he would be best with dog-savvy cats.   Currently Living at:  Georgia shelter foster home   All about Harris: Harris is a joyful boy full of all that awesome young-dog energy! Shelter staff said this: 'Give him a ball and a friend, whether 4-legged or 2-, and his joy is contagious. He will literally bound 4 feet off the ground next to you with happiness!'   He landed in an overcrowded Georgia shelter through no fault of his own and was scheduled for euthanasia. Just in time, he was pulled and sent to a foster home. In that foster home he has shown to be a wonderful family pet! He's good in the crate, hasn't had accidents in the home, is great with other dogs, and has been great with all the people he's met. He's met kids as young as three years old - but shelter staff caution that he might be too bouncy for very young children. He lives with cats and is good with them but might run after them in play - so he'd be better with dog-savvy cats.    He doesn't have much chance of landing a forever home in his area. There are just too many dogs and not enough homes. Harris is truly a great hound and wants nothing more than to have his own humans, to be safe and loved and under his own roof. In exchange he promises adoring gazes and happy tail wags and to make you laugh - and always be by your side, through thick and thin, on all your adventures.    What do you say? Is this young boy the companion you have been seeking?   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. 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.

We haven’t seen Ally with cats or kids, but she can be tested! Currently Living At: South Carolina shelter -- Ally needs a foster or adopter to make her way to the DC area Special Adoption Considerations: Ally  is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs.  All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care.  After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months.  We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left! Ally is Looking For:  Meet Ally, a charming and spirited female Pointer and Beagle mix who is ready to bring joy and adventure into your life! With her sleek black and white coat, Ally is a true beauty, turning heads wherever she goes. Her energetic personality and curious nature make her the perfect companion for an active family who loves the outdoors. Whether it’s exploring new trails, playing fetch in the yard, or simply enjoying a cozy evening by your side, Ally is always eager to be part of the action.   Despite her playful spirit, Ally has a heart full of love and loyalty. She thrives on human companionship and enjoys nothing more than cuddling up with her favorite people after a day of fun.

Please contact Ann Marie Burns (AnnMarieB@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Being this cute sure is ruff!ZEPLIN NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!   Name:    Zeplin            Best Guess for Breed: Pointer/Lab     Best Guess for Age:  11 weeks as of September 10, 2024           SEX: male   Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!):  8 pounds as of August 28, 2024   Gets Along With:        Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs, cats and kids so long as they receive patience and proper training.   Currently Living at:  D.C. area foster home!   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.  Zeplin is Looking For: Hiya! I'm Zeplin! Me and my littermates, Zeta, Zaylee, Zaiden and Zakia were rescued by some really nice people from the flooding in Marion County. While we.have loved our time in the puppy pile, we are each ready to pack our bags and find our very own forever home! I'm looking for a home that will let me play with toys and get my puppy zoomies out and give me snuggles in between playtimes. When I'm a little older, I can't wait to explore my new neighborhood on lots of walks, and I'd really like to make a bunch of doggie friends along the way. Oh, and I should probably take a puppy obedience class or two so I can show you how smart I am. What do you say? Do you have room in your heart for me? What My Foster Says About Me: Zeplin is SO sweet and has a special fondness for cuddly, cozy little snuggle beds. With his adorable spotted noise  and affectionate nature, he’s the epitome of puppy love.  Puppy Vetting Requirements:        Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be “fully” vaccinated. It is the adopter’s responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog.      Due to this puppy’s young age, she/he has not yet been spayed or neutered.  As part of the adoption contract, it will be your responsibility, as the adopter, to ensure that this is done no later than December 25, 2024. There are NO EXCEPTIONS and NO EXTENSIONS to this date. A non-refundable spay/neuter deposit will be collected if you would like Lucky Dog to pay for this animal to be spayed/neutered at one of our low cost partner vets.   Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog!  TO ADOPT:       The adoption fee for this puppy is $485, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter.    If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online bit.ly/adoptaluckydog   Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption.

Story
Our pretty little girl is called Cora and what a loving and sweet little Pointer mix girl she truly is.  She loves playing with other dogs and sleeping in the bed with her foster mom.  This little girl was one of 8 puppies left in an outdoor pen and basically abandoned by the former owner when they loved.  Neighbors stopped by for 3 months to feed and water the puppies and sadly that was all.  They grew and grew and eventually started fighting over the little food they had and the small pen was just so confining. One of the great Critter Cavalry Rescue foster moms heard of their plight and went to get them out of their hot, and confining pen that offered no exercise and not enough food daily…and NO HUMAN LOVE.  Now Cora and her siblings are seeking homes where they can spread their wings and bask in the love and care of their new families.  Cora is remarkably loving and fun and seems to not have been emotionally stunted by their early months of growing up abandoned.  We know that she loves other dogs!  She plays with a 45 pound black lab male that is a year old and “Her and Bo are like two peas in a pod”.  They absolutely love playing together, tug of war, chasing each other in the yard, or just sleeping in the dog bed together.  Cora is good with cats and loves the young children that are in the home, even with all their noise and high energy play.  She is almost there with her potty training and she is good with being in the crate at times needed.  Cora relates to people and loves them.  She always needs to be right by someone and loves to lay on your feet. She has learned not to be possessive of her good or toys as she first started out being.  We totally understood the possessiveness and now she is relaxed and eager to share.  This pretty girl and her siblings have come such a long way.  We are so happy for them to be in out foster care and receiving the love that they so readily deserve.  If you really want to adopt a “rescued dog” then Cora is the total definition of a rescued puppy! If you are interested in making her your own please email us at 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.September 16, 2024, 7:14 am

Story
Hi y’all, my name is Dory, I'm a 1 year old, 50 lbs., German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) mix and I’m looking for a loving place to call my forever home. You see, the first few months of my life weren’t easy. My first human was young when she got me and brought me home to live with her, her grandmother, and another dog. I later found out that she never asked her grandmother’s permission to bring me home. Although I felt like an outcast, I stayed close to my first human to feel safe until she stopped coming around--- I guess I stopped being the new and shiny thing in her life. With her gone, tension built up at home. Her grandmother resented me, and her dog really disliked me. In fact, the other dog bullied and hurt me a few times.  For some dogs, losing their home is traumatic. However, I felt a huge sense of relief when I was surrendered because I was no longer walking on eggshells. The wonderful South Carolina animal shelter welcomed me in and showed me that the world isn’t scary. With their care and love, I blossomed! I love the outdoors and I love playing with other playful pups. After some waiting, the shelter transferred me to A Home of Their Own Animal Rescue to increase my chances of finding my forever home as they are overwhelmed with the number of dogs being surrendered and abandoned. A Home of Their Own assured me that I’d find a forever home here. They’ll continue to update my bio as they get to know me, so stay tuned!  ##2143152##
