Please contact Destiny Sibert (DestinyS@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.small sweetie ISO fresh start and love! FREEDOM NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Freedom       Best Guess for Breed:  Wheaten terrier mix Best Guess for Age:  5 years as of October 2025       SEX:  Male   Approximate Weight:  22 lbs   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:   DC area foster home   Special adoption considerations:   Freedom recently had a biopsy that revealed a subcutaneous mast cell tumor, which was found to be less aggressive. The mass has been successfully removed; however, due to its deep attachment to the muscle and ribs, there is a possibility that small remnants may remain. This means there is an estimated 30-50% chance that the tumor could return over time.   The oncologist has recommended a treatment plan of steroid therapy (1 mg/kg/day) combined with chemotherapy or local electrochemotherapy to target any remaining tumor cells. Alternatively, a more budget-conscious approach would be to monitor Freedom closely and begin prednisone treatment only if there are signs of recurrence or spread. We are happy to discuss Freedom’s medical needs in more detail with potential adopters. 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 Freedom 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.   Freedom is Looking For: Freedom is a sato - a dog from Puerto Rico. He's a sweet, shy boy that opens up quickly and who wants nothing more than to love and be loved. Sniffy walks, romps in parks, all the adventures his new humans can dream up - oh yes, those too! But most of all, he wants to know where he belongs, to always be safe and loved. In exchange, he has so many adoring gazes, so much loyalty to offer. What do you say? Is Freedom who you have been looking for? 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.   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!!!

Story
Can only be adopted in Texas Looking for a trusty sidekick to go on adventures with? A shaggy dog who'll never leave your side and will cuddle up with you to get through the long night? Well, look no further than Maya! This sandy, shaggy, terrier will sweep you off your feet and will make everyday feel like an adventure! Her honey eyes will always be sparkling to see you wherever you go and whenever you get back home! Maya is going to thrive as an only dog and would do best in a home that does not have a lot of doggie traffic coming and going. She likes her quiet life and she loves her person. Like most diva's she is not one to share her toys, people or space! Maya is the type of girl who would love the simply country lifestyle. Sitting on the porch with her person, afternoon strolls on the backyard. Really the quiet, relaxed, laidback kinda gal. Maya is a medium-sized dog (20-59#). Local adoption fee $200 (in TX)

These pups are in Washington, District of Columbia too!

Story
** Current location: at a private shelter in South Korea ** Meet Hudson👋🏻 This gentle, handsome boy was rescued as a puppy in 2021 from a small village in South Korea, along with his five siblings. While they’ve all found their forever families, Hudson is still waiting patiently at the shelter he’s called home ever since. It's hard to believe a dog as sweet, playful, and good-looking as Hudson hasn’t received more attention! We’re hopeful that the right family is out there—one that will give him the love and sense of belonging he truly deserves. • Personality: Gentle, Friendly, Goofy Hudson can be a little reserved at first, but once he feels comfortable, he becomes curious, friendly, and affectionate. He loves to greet people with a wag and a smile! / His energy level is moderate. • Affinity with - Dogs: Hudson is social and playful with other dogs, especially those around his size. He loves to run and play! - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Great with adults / Not tested with kids • Walking Manners: Hudson’s leash-walking skills are still developing—he’s used to roaming freely in the outdoor shelter. He follows along during walks with volunteers, though he can get a little nervous in unfamiliar places or when cars go by. • Housetrained: Hudson will need some time and guidance with house training as he adjusts to a home environment. He will probably prefer the outdoors once he has regular walks. • Bathing/Brushing: He’s a champ! He enjoys baths, brushing, and even trimming. • Car Sickness: Not tested • Separation Anxiety: Zero. • Barks/Howls: Not much • Appetite/Food Allergies: Eats well. No food allergies found so far. • Shedding level (1~10): 6 • Likes/Dislikes: Hudson loves being petted and soaking up affection. • Health: A healthy pup!
