Size

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
I got her 5ish years ago from Lancaster puppies in Pennsylvania. She is a great dog and is very loving and funny. She loves to play with balloons and she loves to watch tv. She is great with any age kids or babies. She has never met a cat so if you have a cat I’m not sure how she will be but she is great with other dogs. She never bit anyone or any animal. She has a big personality. She loves to run and play. We have a 1 year old and I’m pregnant, my husband works 6 days a week almost all day and it’s very hard to make sure she gets the play time she deserves. I love her but she deserves someone who can take her on long walks and play with her and cuddle her. I want her to enjoy the rest of her long life with someone who has the energy. We also live in an apartment and it’s just a bit cramped with our family and the dog. She did nothing wrong I just want the best for her and right now I can’t give that to her. She has nicknames lol ( Lou leena, Lou Lou, klo Lena) she is a beautiful dog

Story
To learn more about Kai, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Kai is a bright, energetic little pup who is already learning all her basics. She’s working on sit, stay, and down, and she learns quickly—especially when treats are involved. Like any young puppy, she’s still mastering potty training, but she’s doing great with both the puppy pad and going outside. Every time she uses the pad or potties on her walks, she gets a treat and lots of praise. Kai has a playful spirit and loves to bounce around with her toys. She isn’t a big barker, but she’ll happily bark at her brother when she wants to start a game. She’s affectionate, loves attention, and will thrive in a home that gives her consistency and structure as she grows.

Story
To learn more about Avery, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Avery is the calmer of the two, a sweet, gentle pup who loves his naps. He’s also doing well with potty training—going both outside and on the puppy pad—and he knows there’s a yummy treat waiting for him when he gets it right. He’s learning the same commands as his sister: sit, stay, and down, and he’s making steady progress. While Avery is quiet and relaxed indoors, he recently started giving a little bark at strangers when they’re outside the yard—he’s finding his voice, but in a thoughtful, gentle way. He’s affectionate, smart, and enjoys playtime, even if he’s not quite as energetic as his sister.

Size

Story
We adopted Oscar at 11 weeks from a breeder in Virginia. He is now 4.5 years old and has been with us the entire time. He’s a great family dog - very affectionate, smart, likes to cuddle, good with little kids, can be active, but can also just chill (if allowed, he'll sleep all day). He is protective, however, when it comes to unfamiliar adults and since we live in the city, it is hard to keep him separated from new people arriving at our small home or even walking on the sidewalk. He would do well outside the city with a family or just anyone who needs a funny, affectionate dog, but lives somewhere where he doesn’t need to interact with new people.

Story
Please contact Kady Hammer (KadyH@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet girl ISO fresh start and love!GABY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!   Name: Gaby    Best Guess for Breed:  Australian shepherd and retriever mix Best Guess for Age:  3 years as of November 2025       SEX:  Female  Approximate Weight:   45 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs!  We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!  Currently Living at:   South Carolina shelter - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here! Special adoption considerations: Gaby is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment.We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left! Gaby is Looking For:   Her forever home! Gaby landed in the shelter through no fault of her own and is eager to once again have her own humans for long sniffy walks, romps in parks, and all the adventures they can dream up. Quality kibble and a cushy dog bed are also on her wish list but you know what? She's out of the puppy yips and knows what's most important in life: Being safe and loved and under her own roof. In exchange, she promises adoring gazes and love and loyal companionship for all her days.  What do you say? Is Gaby the one for your home and your heart?  What My Foster Says About Me:   We will update this once she has spent time in foster care.  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.  If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.  Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!  Please visit us online at    www.luckydoganimalrescue.org   .  BE A FOSTER!!!    Fosters make it possible for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to save and care for homeless and abandoned dogs!  To learn about fostering, please contact    fostering@luckydoganimalrescue.org   !

Manny came from a high-kill shelter in Georgia and has been in his foster home for about a month. He is very sweet and affectionate, but unfortunately his foster's dog has not welcomed him into their home so he needs another foster, or preferably an adopter.
