Story
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!!!

I got my dog koa right before COVID. She is a good girl, she loves people and loves making human friends. She doesn't like other dogs she was picked on to much at dog parks, but she loves kids and people. I have to gove her up do to living arrangements and I'm to busy now at work and it's just not fair for her. I could never expect payment for her she's my baby not an object. I really need a good family to take her. She tinkles a little when she gets excited but other then that she's a perfect fur baby.. please help

Story
McGraw (aka “The Audacity in a Fur Coat” 🙄) McGraw is a 6-month-old Schnauzer mix who radiates confidence, charm, and pure audacity. He’s cute — offensively cute — which is fortunate, because he’s also a bit of a menace. Honestly, he’s lucky he’s handsome. It’s the only reason we haven’t sent him packing for his unapologetic antics. 😏 He’s brilliant, but not in a helpful way. You can expect a constant stream of feedback—he’s nothing if not expressive. He’ll let you know exactly how he feels about everything— sometimes through barking, sometimes through grumbling, and occasionally through what we’ll call “constructive growling.” 🙃 Don’t worry, it’s mostly just his way of expressing that you’ve mildly inconvenienced him. He’s the type of dog who’ll steal your heart ❤️ and your spot on the couch, then growl when you try to take it back. He does well with kids, cats, and other dogs — assuming everyone understands who’s in charge here (hint: it’s McGraw 😤). He’s crate trained, picking up house training, neutered, vaccinated, and running entirely on confidence and misplaced self-importance. He’ll make you laugh, cry, and question your life choices 🤔, often in the same hour. McGraw will require an adopter with either a lot of experience or the patience of a saint 😇 — preferably both. You’ll need a sense of humor, low blood pressure, and a good understanding of irony. If you enjoy sarcastic commentary, mildly toxic relationships, and being bossed around by someone under two feet tall, McGraw is your guy. Apply now, or don’t— his self esteem will remain unaffected. 💅🏻 RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such. Please visit us on Facebook: Rebecca's Paws and Claws in Remlap and our website: www.rpacirescue.org. All dogs from this rescue are transported from Alabama to the Pennsylvania/ New England/ Virginia area and delivered in Pennsylvania, Virginia and RI. Each dog will come fully vetted. Price also includes transportation and a Health Certificate as required by law. There is a 100.00 deposit required at the time of adoption to secure the transport crate. The remainder of the fee will be paid once you pick up the dog. Naturally the 100.00 comes off the total owed at pick up. It will be refunded if for any reason you decide you do not want to adopt, unless the transport has already left.with the dog. To get a application please email: saveapreciouspaw@gmail.com You can also visit our website Rpacirescue.org to fill out an adoption application
