Story

*SENIOR* Barry is a snuggle bug who will make you smile every day. He is a super sweet guy who loves nothing more than to be with his humans. Barry also loves toys. His foster tells us that every day he picks a different toy to take on his walk. Barry is about 32 pounds, 8 years old, and we think a Shih Tzu mix. Barry is happy, funny and very easy going! He is inquisitive, eager to be with people, and comfortable in many different environments and situations (he doesn't even mind baths). He loves other dogs (we aren't sure about cats yet...) and loves to play. He also loves his walks, and his foster tells us that when they get back from a walk, if he’s seen one of his doggie friends, he’s so happy he does zoomies in the back yard. He is easy to walk on leash, good in the car, and an all-around happy guy! Barry is fully vetted, housetrained, and ready to move to his forever home to be the best buddy you've ever had! If you are looking for a sweet buddy to add to your family, Barry is your guy! PAW adopts in the MD, nothern VA, southern PA, and DC region ##2483025##

Story

Benji Magoo – Inspiration to all Underdogs, Snack Enthusiasts, and Dogs Who Are Just Trying Their BestOccupation(s): Professional Shadow • Shower Lifeguard • Neighborhood Watch InternAge: Young enough to cause chaos, old enough to know he shouldn’t, and bold enough to do it anyway.Equal parts fuzzy charm and feral goblin energy, this spicy Shih Tzu operates on pure vibes, endless shenanigans, and zero regrets. He has a Tough Guy exterior, but a soft, snuggly center reserved for his chosen people. His attitude is as big as he is small, and his circle of trust is modest, but growing every day. Magoo’s hobbies include acting as Resident Bouncer when visitors are at the door, supervising all bathroom activities, and learning from the resident dogs how to bark at pedestrians who have the audacity to mind their own business.Magoo has also done wonderfully with his foster’s five-year-old niece, proving that while he may be a tiny bouncer at heart, he has a soft spot for gentle kiddos who offer good vibes and better treats.Fun Fact: He was recently interviewed by a Newsweek reporter, so please address him with the respect befitting a media personality. He’s basically a celebrity now. Autographs available between 11:00am - 11:09am every other Thursday. Personality: 10/10Penchant for Criminal Activity: 7/10Commitment to being adorable chaos: 100/10Ego after the Newsweek interview: Off the chartsIf you have experience with short kings who have big personalities and loud opinions, we welcome you to submit an inquiry to become Benji’s new sidekick by emailing his foster mom at maureen1188@gmail.com. Benji Magoo is a special adoption; his new family will meet with a member of HRA’s behavior team to go over his unique personality, needs, and how to best support a tiny king with a limited field of vision but an unlimited capacity for love, snacks, and chaos.To see more of his antics (and his good side), check him out on Instagram @Barks_and_Wreck

Story

Hi, I'm Katie Shih Tzu | Senior | Female | Small About Me Katie is a 14 yr old shih tzu mix that was rescued from the PG County animal shelter on 09/08/25. Sadly, her previous owner had taken her there for euthanasia but thankfully the shelter sent out a rescue plea instead. She is very low-maintenance – pretty much the only time you hear her is when it’s time for breakfast or dinner and even then, it’s just a low grumbling sound to let you know you aren’t moving fast enough! She’s like Mikey – she eats everything!! (If you know, you know..lol) Due to her limited vision, she will do best in a home with not many or no steps (unless they can be blocked off) and no young children as she is easily startled. She currently lives in a home with four small dogs and gets along with all of them but she will be fine as an only dog. As an older lady, she will probably do best with a family that is home most of the time to let her out for potty breaks. She will also require regular grooming. Katie will lay in your lap while you work or curl up next to you while you watch TV. She is such a sweet girl that will make you smile just from looking at her adorable little face and watching her tail wag when you say her name. Her appreciation for being given this second chance is coming through in her personality more and more each day. Come meet her, you will love her immediately! My Profile Age: 14 Weight: 9 Good with kids: Unknown Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: Unknown Fenced yard: No Suitable for townhouse and/or apartment: Yes House trained: Mostly Crate trained: No Chews inappropriate items: No Activity level: Low Special needs: Yes Meet Me If you are interested in Katie, consider letting us know by filling out a (no-obligation) adoption application at pgspca.org/adopt. Please consult our Adoption FAQ before contacting us. Please check the adoption-show-attendees page to see if Katie will be attending the next adoption show. NOTE: We are an all volunteer group and do not operate a shelter. All of our animals are in foster homes. We are unable to place our animals outside of the Baltimore/DC area.

Story

Please contact Diane Pedulla (dianep@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.fluffy young boy ready to play!MILO NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Milo Best Guess for Breed: Shih tzu and dachshund mix Best Guess for Age: 8 months as of December 2025 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 18 lbs as of 11/22/25 - he still has a bit more to grow! 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 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 Milo 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. Milo is Looking For: His forever home! Milo is a sato, from Puerto Rico. He had an owner and was surrendered through no fault of his own. He's fine with that though - shelter staff told him he was coming to the DC area and would get his own humans here! He's a young boy, hasn't seen nearly enough of the world, and is eager to burn all that awesome young-dog energy on sniffy walks and romps and all the adventures his family can dream up. Making pup pals would be great too. But you know what he wants most of all? To be safe and loved, to know where he belongs. What do you say? Is that 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.
