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.

Mojo was found as a stray and we made every effort to find his owners but to no avail. He is an Aussie mix and of course with the breed comes high activity. I will say that he loves his down time though! He is NOT an apartment dog. He needs a good sized fenced yard. He is not great in a crowd of dogs but will do well with a sister or brother to play with. He hasn't been tested with cats so we don't know about that. The vet believes his age to be about 6 years. He's neutered, vaccinated, crate trained and heart worm negative. He is more than ready for his forever home! ADOPTION FEE $400 PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION!

Story
This precious girl came from one of the worst hoarding situations that we have ever dealt with. there were over 100 dogs on the property, none of them spayed or neutered. Finally, the authorities went in and they managed to get ALL of the dogs out of there. Filthy dirty situation, sick puppies, you name it. We choose to take Blossom home to our rescue because her eyes were begging us for love and attention. She was very pregnant and two weeks after arriving, she gave birth to 7 heathy puppies! Every single puppy was different, every singe puppy had a different daddy! We think that Blossom had never been paid any attention to because she was so shy. Once we weaned her babies we took her out of the nursery and into the house where she just blossomed! That's how she got her name! Her puppies have long since been adopted and now it's her turn. We actually did a DNA on her and it came back with 4 different breeds, which we kind of figured from the beginning. Australian Cattle Dog, Labrador Retriever, Pit Bull, Boxer. Yes, she is truly a "Mutt!: She is extremely smart and will do anything for a treat. I want her to have a nice fenced yard with lots of room to run. Cattle dogs are working dogs and they need lots of exercise! She is spayed, crate trained, fully vaccinated, microchipped and house broken, truly a gem! Ready for immediate transport.

J J was found as a stray and was brought to the rescue by the people who found him. We tried to locate his owner but to no avail. We were pretty stumped as to what his breed mix was so we did a DNA on him. Turns out he is a mix of Brittany Spaniel, Australian Cattle Dog, Australian Shepherd, Chihuahua, Yorkie and a whole bunch more! In other words, he's a mutt but he's got some petty good genes in his little self! He's smart, he's high energy and he's absolutely adorable! He's crate trained, fully vaccinated, heart worm negative and microchipped. Ready for immediate transport.

Story
Blue Tellico is a lively 15-month-old Blue Heeler boy that is smart and everything you expect in a Blue Heeler/Cattle Dog. Trained by professionals, Blue Tellico showcases impressive agility and quickness with a strong passion to spend lots of time outdoors looking for adventures and romping in the local creek and looking for squirrels to chase. Despite his energetic nature, Tellico is incredibly affectionate and adores cuddle sessions. The ideal home is a setting with space to run and explore in the woods, a creek or water source nearby for him to play in, too.  BlueTellico gets along well with other animals but isn't suited for households with young children because he tries to herd them and the current children are scared of him and his desire to round them up.  He would truly be good on a horse farm or someplace that caters to his outdoor need. We do encourage anyone interested, to be sure you understand the Blue Heeler breed and are willing to be his leader.  Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.April 19, 2024, 8:26 am

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.
