Story
Herman is a rescue dog that is approximately 6 years old. He's a great dog, and we're sad to have to part with him. We recently had kids and can't keep up with the demands of kids, jobs and a dog. Herman doesn't need much, just an hour or two of attention and good window to look out. He likes walks but doesn't need one. He likes to play ball or chase, a car ride with open windows, but what he really likes is to sit and watch people, cars, nature or anything out a window. He gets a little nervous around strangers at first and sometimes stray dogs, but he is not aggressive and has never bit anyone. He can be independent, a lap dog or anywhere in between. He's mostly lived in an apartment, but has also lived in a house with a yard. He's house broken, trained to sit and has all his shots up to date. He typically goes out three times a day, and routinely goes 10 hours alone in the house during tHerman is a rescue dog that is approximately 6 years old. He's a great dog, and he day.

Story
Please contact Chandler Jaffe (chandler.jaffe@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.utterly adorable floofy puppy! JERSEY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!   Come meet Jersey and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (Jan. 25th) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Silver Spring, MD (12020 Cherry Hill Rd, Silver Spring, MD 20904)!     Name:    Jersey       Best Guess for Breed:   Sheltie and terrier mix    Best Guess for Age:    2 months as of 1/21/26          SEX:    Female   Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!):    6.2 bs as of 1/21/26   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:   DC 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.  Jersey is Looking For:   Hiya! I'm Jersey! I'm ready to pack my bags and find my 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 home and your heart for me?What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once she has spent time in foster care. 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 May 21, 2026. 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. 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       .
