Story
Please contact Jodi Rosenberg (jodi.rosenberg@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.scruffy sweetie seeking fresh start and love! CHLOE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:   Chloe         Best Guess for Breed: Schnauzer mix Best Guess for Age:  1 year as of November 2025         SEX:   Female   Approximate Weight:  28 lbs   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 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! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!   See this sweetie and her sisters in this video! -  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_KbHsEMh7DI   Chloe is Looking For: Hi! 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! But now we're ready to split up and get our own humans in the DC area. This is what we are looking for: Sniffy walks, romps, all the adventures our families can dream up, and lots of snuggles! Coat maintenance is important to us too - daily brushing, please, to make sure we don't get all matted.    But you know what I want most of all? To be safe and loved, to know where I belong. In exchange I promise so many adoring gazes and love and loyal companionship for all my days. What do you say? Do I 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 dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, heartworm information, 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.   Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!  Please visit us online at      www.luckydoganimalrescue.org   .    BE A FOSTER!!! Fosters make it possible for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to save and care for homeless and abandoned dogs! To learn about fostering, please contact fostering@luckydoganimalrescue.org! BE A SPONSOR!!!!
