Marbles is the sweetest girl at 7 months old and ~30lbs fully grown. She knows how to have fun and loves playing with her dog buddies. Bitey face, wrestling, tug of war? She’s down for it all! Whenever she’s out in public, she is an absolute delight. Marbles will sit and calmly observe everything going on around her without a care in the world which is very rare for a puppy! Her foster mom taught her “sit” in one day and she keeps proving to be a smart pup! Marbles would be the perfect addition to any family!

Story

young boy seeking fresh start and love! CHUCHO NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Chucho Best Guess for Breed: Rat terrier mix Best Guess for Age: 1 year as of December 2025 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 20 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: Puerto Rico shelter - needs a foster or forever home upon arrival in DC on 12/25/25 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 he would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure he can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes. Chucho is Looking For: Chucho is a sato - a dog from Puerto Rico. He's eager to get his own humans in the DC area - he's a young boy and has so much to see and do. Long sniffy walks, romps with pup pals, and all the adventures his new family can dream up - yes, please! Dog school would be great, too, so he can show how super smart he is.Most of all, though, he wants to know he's safe and under his own roof for all his days. In exchange, he promises to always put a smile on your face - and to give so much love and loyalty. What do you say? Is Chucho the one you see 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 $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. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.

Moses

Rat Terrier Jack Russell Terrier

Male, Adult

Washington, DC

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Moses! He's a 35 pound Jack Russell/Rat Terrier Mix and is about 6 years old. My ex-husband and I adopted him from a rescue organization about 2 years ago. I'm now in sole possesion of Moses. For a few reasons, I've made the difficult decision to rehome Moses, as I think it would be better for him and myself. Once he gets to know you, Moses is such a sweet, cuddly, protective, loyal lap dog and loves to play and burrow under blankets. He does have stranger danger though. While it will take him a little bit (shouldn't last more than a day) to warm up to someone new, once he does he will love you forever. He has a lot of energy and loves being outside. I live in the city. I think he would do best in the suburbs or somewhere rural, with a fenced in yard to run around, and less stimuli for anxiety. I think he would do well with older kids. Make Moses part of your family!
