Story
Meet Tadhg (pronounced Tige. Think tiger without the R)! This gentle, loving boy found himself in need of a soft place to land when his beloved owner's health declined. Tadhg arrived quietly, unsure of where he belonged, but within moments, we knew: he belongs here, and he belongs to love. Incredibly sweet and very playful, Tadhg is kind to everyone he encounters ~ dogs big and small, cats, kids, you name it. He loves snuggling with his person, going for walks and exploring (he'd love a fenced-in yard!), and playing with toys. Honestly, he's pretty much happy doing anything as long as he's doing it with you. Tadhg is a complete gentleman and ideal companion: housetrained, leash-trained, great in the car, and content to stay home alone as long as he has a soft bed and warm blankets. He sees and hears well, can do stairs like a pro, and would thrive in an apartment or a house. He would love it if his forever family had another canine companion for him to pal around with. Tadhg has so much love and light to give, and he deserves the same in return. We can't wait to see who's lucky enough to call him theirs! Tadhg is approximately 12 years old and 10 lbs. Fostered in Henrdon, VA Please apply at MirisHaven.org

Please contact Diane Pedulla (dianep@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.scruffy baby girl ISO fresh start and love! KAMILA NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Kamila          Best Guess for Breed:   Scnhauzer and terrier mix  Best Guess for Age:  5 months as of December 2025         SEX: Female   Approximate Weight: 14.2 lbs as of 12/1/25 - she is still growing!   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 - 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 Kamila 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.   Kamila is Looking For:   Her forever home! Kamila is a sato - a dog from Puerto Rico. She's basically an older puppy eager to get her own humans and see the world with them. Long sniffy walks, romps in parks, all the adventures they can dream up - yes, please! Making pup pals along the way would be great too.    This baby girl has so much to see, so much to do - and so much love and loyal companionship to give in return. What do you say? Does she get to go home with you? What My Foster Says About Me:  We will update this once she 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 puppy is $485 which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.

The three of us - Chloe, Layka, and Luna - have had a great time growing together in Puerto Rico. We look so alike that we've pulled off the switcheroo trick often!

We think Chloe 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. Heartworm information: Chloe is a truly Lucky Dog. She 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!
