Story

Please contact Connie Kiggins (conniek@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.squish baby ISO forever family! BLAKE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Blake Best Guess for Breed: Shih tzu and Havanese mix Best Guess for Age: 3 months as of 11/1/25 SEX: Male Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!): 3.8 lbs as of 11/9/25 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: South Carolina shelter- needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here! 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. Blake is Looking For: Shih tzu and Havanese? No, this pup gotta have Ewok somewhere in its ancestry. This super cute baby wants what all puppies want - lots of snuggles and play time and cuddles. And then to explore the neighborhood and the world! He definitely wants to go to puppy school to learn to be the bestest boy - small dogs often get picked up or pulled along rather than trained appropriately just because it's easier to pick them up and that's not awesome. Look at this boy's coat too. That's a lifetime of daily brushing and regular grooming -otherwise it can get matted. Mats hurt. Blake does not want to get matted. If you're up for an Ewok dog with a high maintenance coat, apply for Blake - and get the cutest little fluff ever, along with all the love in his little body and the loyal companionship he promises for all his days. What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once he 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 February 1, 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 contact Diane Pedulla (dianep@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.A Gentle Soul with a Heart of GoldRAMBO NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Rambo Best Guess for Breed: Shih-Tzu mix Best Guess for Age: 11 years as of November 2025 SEX: male Approximate Weight: 9 lbs. Gets Along With: other dogs and lives with a cat. We haven't seen him with kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: DC area foster home Rambo is Looking For: At 11 years young, Rambo is a mellow gentleman who’s mastered the art of companionship. With his soft, expressive eyes and small dog charm, Rambo brings a quiet joy to any room he enters. Though he has lost most of his hearing, Rambo navigates the world with grace and curiosity. He responds beautifully to gentle touch, routine, and visual cues, making him an ideal match for someone who appreciates a slower pace and thoughtful connection. Rambo still has plenty of spirit but will likely thrive in a calm, predictable environment where love speaks louder than words. Rambo enjoys short strolls, cozy naps, and being near his favorite humans. He’s past the puppy chaos and prefers peaceful moments—perfect for retirees, homebodies, or anyone seeking a loyal, low-maintenance companion. He’s also a great candidate for households with older kids and gentle pets. If you’re looking for a sweet, soulful friend who will adore you quietly and completely, Rambo might just be your perfect match. What My Foster Says About Me: Rambo is equal parts playful, cuddly, and chill. He can no longer jump up on furniture or manage stairs but he still has energy and pep in his step. He loves going for walks and playing gentle fetch with his toys. Nothing phases him. At his first adoption event Rambo pranced right past all the big energetic dogs. He lives with my chihuahua and my 16-pound cat, who he is completely unbothered by. He rarely barks and sounds very cute when he does. 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 $375, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.

Story

Meet Hip Hop – The Sweetest Senior Shih Tzu Around! Hip Hop is a Shih Tzu weighing about 10 lbs, and she’s ready to find her forever family! This little lady has come a long way—from being found roaming the streets and ending up in a crowded shelter, to now living her best life in a loving foster home. When she first arrived, Hip Hop was matted and had some hair loss from a flea allergy, but with a little TLC (and some cozy sweaters), she’s blossomed into the adorable, happy pup she was always meant to be. Hip Hop is the definition of an easygoing companion. She loves lounging around the house and soaking up the comforts of home, but she also enjoys short backyard adventures with her dog friends. She’s been around dogs of all shapes and sizes—from a calm 5-year-old Jack Russell mix to an energetic 8-month-old Great Pyrenees mix—and she gets along with everyone. She’s even polite with cats! Her true love, though, is people. Hip Hop adores being near her humans and will happily follow her chosen person from room to room, just to be part of the action. She’s wonderfully respectful—never underfoot or demanding attention—and she’s especially sweet with kids. In her foster home, she enjoys spending time with her 4- and 10-year-old human foster siblings, often curling up at their feet or patiently waiting for someone to lift her onto the couch for a snuggle. Hip Hop has impeccable manners, is completely potty trained, and is as polite as they come. She’s the perfect companion for anyone looking to share their days with a gentle, loving senior who appreciates the finer things in life—lazy Sunday mornings, quiet companionship, and unconditional love. If you’re looking for a loyal little friend to share your home and heart, come meet Hip Hop. We promise you’ll fall in love, just like we have. Day: November 29th at PetSmart Tysons Corner from 10:00–11:00 AM, an approved adopter must be present to adopt. Some pups may stick around until 11:00 AM for the public event—check our Facebook page closer to the date to see if this pup will be attending the extra fun! ##2573718##
