Please contact Destiny Sibert (DestinyS@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet scruffy girl ISO fresh start and love! JACKIE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Jackie       Best Guess for Breed:  Wire haired terrier mix   Best Guess for Age:  4.5 years as of January 2026   SEX:   Female   Approximate Weight:  43 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:   South Carolina shelter - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here!   Special adoption considerations: Jackie 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!   Jackie is Looking For:  Her forever home! This sweet girl landed in the shelter through no fault of her own. At a bit under five years old, she's past her puppy days but is up for adventure - she's eager for sniffy walks and world exploration with her humans! A cushy dog bed, quality kibble, and lots of snuggles round out her wish list.What do you say? Do you have space in your home and your heart for Jackie? 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, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.  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   !

Barney is a man of many names. He goes by Barney but he’s not purple dinosaur. He will also answer to Barnacle, Barnaby, or Barnabus. He will sit pretty for a treat and is learning not to mark his territory, which should improve since he’s been neutered. He gets along with all sized dogs and cats and does very well in the kennel. He loves going for a walk or for a ride in the car. He is a perfect companion! Adopt him soon!! Local adoption fee is $350 Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Aero really shines when he is outside of his kennel. He has shown a friendly side and enjoys being leashed up and taken outside for walks and play time. The shelter is a bit overwhelming and stressful for him. Aero is looking for a calm place to land and in a home that will give him the tender and loving care he deserves. This little guy weighs in at only 13 pounds and hopes that this is the perfect fit for you!This pet is available at:Brandywine Valley SPCA4 DC Village Lane SWWashington, DC 20032
