Story
Please contact Lowell Nelson (lowelln@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.happy boy looking for fresh start and love! RANDY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Randy      Best Guess for Breed: Pointer and shepherd mix     Best Guess for Age:   4.5 years as of February 2026       SEX:    Male   Approximate Weight:   42 lbs   Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:   Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus- needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here.   Special adoption considerations: Randy is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! 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 discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!   Randy is Looking For:  This handsome guy landed in the shelter through no fault of his own. He is eagerly looking ahead to his new one. The one where he gets his own humans for long sniffy walks and romps and all the adventures they can dream up. He's well out of the puppy yips and is in his prime as an adult dog, so he knows what's most important in life: being safe and loved and under his own roof. In exchange, he promises loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Can you see him by your side?   What My Foster Says About Me:   We will update this once he has spent time in foster care.    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. 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   ! BE A SPONSOR!!!!    Sponsors help Lucky Dog support the many dogs we save.  To learn more about sponsorship, please contact   info@luckydoganimalrescue.org   .  March 7, 2026, 8:18 am

Pointer

Female, 8 mos

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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

Story
LOCATION: Montgomery Village, MD Chip's adoption fee is fully sponsored by Merry D'Ambrisi - lucky pup! 🐶 Meet Chip! Chip is a fun-loving, energetic pup with a big heart and an impressive affinity for fetch 🎾—he’s truly a natural athlete! Whether he’s chasing a ball or entertaining himself with his toys, Chip brings a playful spirit and joy to everyday life. Since entering foster care, Chip has made incredible progress 🌟 and continues to grow more confident every day. With consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement, he’s really blossoming into a wonderful companion. 💛 Personality & Home Life Chip may take a little time to warm up to new people, but once he feels comfortable, his affectionate and loyal personality shines. He forms strong bonds and loves being close to his people—whether that’s relaxing on the couch 🛋️ or leaning in for a head scratch. He thrives in a home that offers structure, encouragement, and a calmer environment where he can continue building confidence. • Fenced yard preferred: Chip loves having space to run and play freely. • Exercise: He’s an active pup who benefits from regular playtime and walks (and he’s improving on leash every day!). • Dog companion: A confident, friendly dog sibling who likes to play could be a wonderful influence and help him continue to come out of his shell. • Kids: He does well with children and would do best with older kids who respect his space. 🎓 Training & Progress Chip has come a long way in foster care and is eager to keep learning: • Potty trained and even rings bells to go outside • Crate trained—calm, quiet, and sleeps through the night • Doing great being left alone during the day with no accidents • Knows commands like “sit” and responds well to guidance • Making steady progress on leash walking and building confidence outdoors Like many young dogs, he still has a few puppy habits, but he is very responsive and continues to improve with consistency. And so stinking cute! Chip is looking for a committed, loving home that will continue to nurture his growth, confidence, and love for goofing around 🤪. He has already shown how much he can achieve in the right environment, and his best is still ahead of him. For someone willing to invest a little time and love, Chip will reward you with loyalty, companionship, and plenty of fun ❤️🐾
