Story
I adopted Mojo and his sister, Maggie, from Howard County Animal Shelter in 2020. They were a bonded pair, Akbash breed, and the shelter was having trouble finding a home for them together, so I adopted them. Maggie was ill with hypothyroidism and epilepsy and died in November 2024. Mojo is a wonderful dog with all humans and other dogs, but he is a livestock protector and will kill cats. I live in an area with stray cat colonies, and he has gotten away from me several times when he sees a cat. I love cats and it is hard for me to live with a dog that kills cats. I love Mojo but he is so hard for me to manage. He weighs130 pounds and can get away from me easily. I did have a dog walker, but he is unable to walk Mojo anymore. It's also hard to afford the daily cost of a dog walker. I am looking for a home with someone who has a large fenced in yard and who can walk him every day. He is old and easy to walk unless he sees an animal he perceives as prey.

Please contact Kady Hammer (KadyH@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Big fluffy boy! BIG BOY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Big Boy        Best Guess for Breed:   Great Pyrenees/Shepherd mix     Best Guess for Age:  3 years as of August 2026       Gender:   male Approximate Weight:   90lbs  Gets Along With: Other dogs and kids! We have not seen Big Boy with cats but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any interested adopters.  Currently Living At: DC area home What My Foster Says About Me: This is Big Boy, he's a 3 year old, 90lbs, Great Pyrenees mix. He is handsome, friendly, and unfortunately looking for a new home! Like most dogs his breed, he feels cooped up in a smaller yard and would prefer his humans be home more often. We try very hard to not unnecessarily place barriers to adopt such as requiring a yard or working from home - Big Boy just happens to be an exception, needing a more specific type of home where he can spend most of his day outside, running around in a large yard, under the supervision of someone who's usually always home.Why Big Boy? He LOVES other dogs and gets along with all of them. He's quite the gentleman at the dog park. He's lived with children including a baby through toddler life. He's very patient with kids and on occasion let's them get away with hiding their toys in his fur. 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, 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.

Please contact Chandler Jaffe (chandler.jaffe@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Sweet girl ISO bright future! MAISIE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:   MAISIE          Best Guess for Breed:   Great Pyrenees/Collie Mix   Best Guess for Age:   1 year as of Oct. 2026          SEX:    female   Approximate Weight:   35 lbs   Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Because Maisie can be shy, we think she might do OK with kids but they would need to be dog-savvy.   Currently Living at:   SHELTER. Maisie needs a foster or forever home to come to the DC area!   Special adoption considerations:    Because Maisie is shy she is required to go to a home with a resident dog who will help show her the ropes!   MAISIE is Looking For:   Hi. I am Maisie! Lucky Dog helped me escape Florida when it was hit by a hurricane recently and I am safe thank you!!! You might be able to tell from my picture that I am sweet and a little shy. See, my breed mix is really cool-smart, loyal, and if I may humbly say so, pretty too! With that can also come some independence so while I look forward to bond deeply with my people I’ll be shy with new people at first. In fact, it’d be great and best for me to go to a kind home with a resident dog who can show me the ropes! We could all exercise/play and snuggle together, and my mind will likely do well with toys and games and dog school as well! I know I have it in me to be my forever family’s precious pearl-to be their resilient, wise, best friend. I know you are out there, forever family, come meet me and take me home! Love, Maisie.  What My Foster Says About Me:   We will update when Maisie has spent time in foster!

Story
To learn more about Duchess please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Meet Duchess — Her Royal Fluffiness Beautiful 7-year-old Duchess is looking for a new kingdom to call her own. This stunning Great Pyrenees mix has that signature milky-white coat and looks remarkably like a giant fluffy cloud that has decided to grow four legs and move into your house. Duchess is a natural guardian, as you’d expect from her Pyrenees heritage. She gets along with other dogs and, like any proper lady, appreciates a courteous introduction first and isn’t particularly impressed by excessive shenanigans. She’s also an excellent traveling companion. Open the car door and Duchess happily hops right in, ready to be chauffeured to her next engagement. 🚗👑 At seven, Duchess has moved beyond the puppy nonsense and knows and would love a home that appreciates her guardian nature, respects her dignified approach to canine friendships, and has plenty of room for one very large white cloud. If you’ve been looking for a loyal companion with beauty, brains, excellent manners and just the right amount of royal attitude, Duchess may be ready to grant you an audience. 👑🤍🐾
