Story
Astro came to rescue under sad circumstances with a torn ACL, although you'd never known the little guy was in pain. He is loving, friendly and playful. He has recovered from surgery, x-rays revealed he is completely healed. and now loves to run. He likes toys, balls especially. He'll play by himself if he has to, but prefers to play with other furry friends or human friends. He loves everyone but is cat-reactive. Astro is a high energy dog so he'll need daily walks and something like a Kong to keep him busy while in his kennel. He is very good on a leash, so much so that his 6-year-old foster sister can walk him without issues. He deserves a loving and caring home he can call his own and get lots of love and attention. Like all our dogs, Astro is neutered, up to date on all his vaccines, micro chipped and had extensive bloodwork done due to his surgery. Astro's adoption fee is $350. If you are interested in meeting him, please fill out an application located under his bio on our homepage www.luckydogrescue.org

Story
Meet Sonia - once fearful and shy but now spunky and full of life! Sonia has gone from scared in the shelter to safe in a foster home. She has been settling into the home where she is learning life has so much to offer her. Sonia is doggy-door trained and non-destructive in the home. She walks well on leash and responds well to corrections. Sonia likes to be sneaky and try to see what is going on in the neighborhood, door-dashing occasionally but recalls easily back to your home. She knows basic commands and would enjoy someone who can continue her training. She has done well with the resident dog in the home but would require slow, proper introductions. Sonia has done well with the children in her foster home, but any potential human siblings need to understand and respect her boundaries. Sonia is weary of new people so she will need time to decompress and build trust with you. Once she does she's a playful, loving girl. Sonia is a herding mixed breed dog and would do best with an owner experienced with herding breeds and their behaviors. She would thrive in a home that can be active with her, as well as provide structure and routine.

Jack has come a very long way! He loves life and has made so many friends. He takes treats gently and loves to run and play hard!

Apartment life is not appropriate for him as he likes to share his space with a human who he knows well.

Story
Hi, I'm Layla! I've spent many joyful years perfecting the art of making humans smile. I love gentle strolls, cozy naps, and being brushed; seriously, it's my spa day. My heart is big, and I’m always ready to share it. I’ve mastered the art of companionship, knowing just when to offer a comforting nuzzle or a soulful look. I do ask for one thing: I’d like to be your one and only dog. I’m not into canine roommates; I prefer to keep all the love (and brushes) to myself. If you're looking for a wise, affectionate friend who cherishes quiet moments and gives world-class snuggles, I’m your girl. Come meet me and let’s turn your house into a home. I must be the only dog in my new home My adoption fee is $350 and includes the following: -Spay/neuter surgery -All current vaccinations -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at My Pet Market For more information about me or to schedule a meet and greet appointment, please complete an adoption questionnaire.
