Story
Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Sweet girl looking for her forever home! JENNIE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Jennie and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (12/15) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Falls Church, VA (6100A Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)! Name: Jennie Best Guess for Breed: Red Heeler/Australian Cattle Dog mix Best Guess for Age: 5 years as of June 2024 Gender: Female Approximate Weight: 40 lbs as of Nov 2024 - she probably needs to lose few pounds Gets Along With: Other dogs, and lives with a cat! We haven’t seen Jennie with kids, but we can find out. Currently Living At: DC area foster home Special Adoption Considerations: Jennie is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs. All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care. After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months. We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!Jennie arrived at the shelter with a badly injured right front leg. It has been amputated. She does require medication to alleviate some of the symptoms of what we think is some arthritis. Jennie is Looking For: Meet Jennie, a spirited and resilient 5-year-old female Red Heeler with a heart full of love and a spirit that refuses to be dampened by adversity. Despite having a partially amputated front leg, Jennie’s zest for life is unmistakable. She navigates her world with remarkable agility and joy, always eager for new adventures and opportunities to explore. Her stunning red coat and expressive eyes are just the beginning of her charm – Jennie’s affectionate nature and playful personality make her a delightful companion for anyone looking to add a touch of joy to their lives. What My Foster Says About Me: Sweet, sweet Jennie despite everything she has been through is the sweetest dog we’ve ever cared for. She looks at you with these sweet, innocent puppy dog eyes that melt your soul. She deserves nothing more than a soft girl life, filled with endless love, blankets, and healthy treats. She’s settles into her crate effortlessly, gets along with all dogs (also loves our cat), and is the goodest girl! She’s amazing on leash and is very responsive to any redirections you may give. All she wants to do is please you and be your loving companion, with hopes you’ll love her in return. 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.
