Story
Barbara is an outgoing, low-energy sweet girl. I adopted her 3 years ago and she is an angel. Unfortunately, she doesn't get along well with little dogs and the dogs in my building so I am looking to rehome her. Barbara is great with people but isn't as excited to get along with other pups. She would need to be in a home without other animals.

Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.young girl looking for her forever family! TRINITY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Trinity and other great adoptable dogs this Saturday (April 20th) from 12-2 pm at Dogma Bakery in Arlington (2772 S Arlington Mill Dr, Arlington, VA 22206)!   Name: Trinity       Best Guess for Breed: Australian cattle dog and blue heeler mix     Best Guess for Age:   1 year as of Sept. 2023         SEX:    Female   Approximate Weight:   32 lbs   Gets Along With:    Other dogs! We haven’t seen Trinity with cats, but she can be tested! Due to her shyness, Trinity should not go to a home with kids under 12.   Check out video of Trinity here! https://youtu.be/4f65xnUJE2s and https://youtu.be/0CD-rPXoo6U   Currently Living at:   DC area foster homeSpecial Adoption Considerations: Because Trinity is shy, she needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog. Due to her shy personality, we do not recommend her for a home with children under the age of 12.   All About Trinity:    Meet Trinity, the one-year-old Blue Heeler mix who's ready to become your faithful companion and partner in adventures! With her stunning coat featuring a mix of blue, white, and black, Trinity is not just a sight to behold but also a bundle of intelligence and affection. Trinity is a dynamic and spirited young dog who thrives on both physical activity and mental stimulation. Whether it's a brisk jog, a game of fetch, or a puzzle toy to challenge her intellect, she's always up for the task. Her sharp mind and eagerness to please make her a quick learner, so training and teaching her new tricks will be a joy! But Trinity's true charm lies in her loving nature. She's a sweet and affectionate companion, always ready to shower you with tail wags and cuddles. Whether you're seeking an energetic partner for outdoor adventures or a loving friend to curl up with at the end of the day, Trinity is the perfect mix of enthusiasm and devotion. If you're ready to provide her with a forever home filled with love and activity, come meet Trinity and make her a part of your family today.  What My Foster Says About Me:   Trinity is a very joyful and fun-loving dog. While she can be shy when initially meeting new people it only takes her a few minutes and a couple treats to begin warming up. She obeys the lay down and sit command for treats. Trinity is very loving and affectionate and has been amazing with my kids. She loves to cuddle up with them and get lots of love. She is a herding dog and may playfully nip when overly excited but has been doing very well when redirected to a toy. She loves to be right with her people and will stick by your side. She enjoys playing with her toys in the house, prancing and tossing them in the air, jumping up, and pouncing on them. Outside, Trinity is always up for walks in the neighborhood, chasing balls and sticks in the yard, a good chew toy, sniffing and exploring, and playing in the water! Trinity is very social and loves playing with other dogs. So far, she hasn’t met a dog she doesn’t like and doesn’t want to play with. She has been playing wonderfully with my resident dog and our two other foster puppies. Trinity is still somewhat cautious around new people when out on walks, as well as with lots of street traffic and loud and sudden noises. While these can startle Trinity she settles fairly easily with some reassurance and would do well with continued exposure to new experiences. Trinity has done amazing in her crate sleeping through the night with no noise and no accidents and is becoming a pro with the crate command.  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.

Story
ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/13576Hi! My name is Sparkle of The Farkles litter and I just arrived from Alabama in search of a home of my own. I’m guessed to be an Australian Shepherd mix born around 1/7/24. I currently weigh about 10 pounds so I should be in the 30-40 lb range when full grown.I’m a sweet girl and LOVE to snuggle with my foster mom. She says I have the cutest little wiggly butt and my ears look like they have bronze highlights! See me in action here:Playing with a FrisbeeI'm microchipped, up to date on age appropriate vaccines and monthly preventatives and will be ready to go home with my new adopters.I'm searching for…- Someone who won't leave me home alone for more than 4 hours, at least not until I am older. The older I am, the more I can stay home alone. I just don't want you to get mad at me if I have accidents or chew things I'm not supposed to when you leave me for too long. I'm a puppy, so I get bored quickly and when I'm bored I could get in trouble.- I am looking for my forever home, not my for right now home. So as I get bigger I need someone to teach me how to be the best dog I can be. I am young and still learning. You may want to teach me some new tricks like sit, stay, etc. - I saved the most important for last. I am hoping my new mom or dad will snuggle with me, play with me and love me forever and ever!Please note that because this puppy is so young, it has only received 2 of the required 3 puppy distemper vaccines. This is very IMPORTANT because it means that the immune system will not be fully functioning until about 16 weeks of age. Until then, the puppy MUST stay out of public places where it could be exposed to the germs of other dogs. These no puppy zones include all pet stores, dog parks, and for apartment dwellers, areas used by other dogs. These requirements are strictly for the puppy’s medical safety and longevity.
