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

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! Jack continues to look for his "one and only" as he is very definitely a one-person dog. Jack requires a large private, fenced yard to enjoy off-leash play. Apartment life is not appropriate for him as he likes to share his space with a human who he knows well. If you believe you're a possible match for Jack based on the detailed profile posted on our website, please complete our online adoption application. Discussion about a dog - including scheduling a home check - cannot occur until we have received your completed adoption application.
