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! I'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.

Story
Please contact Kady Hammer (KadyH@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.energetic young floof seeking active home! RED NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Red          Best Guess for Breed:  Australian shepherd and border collie mix  Best Guess for Age:   10 months as of April 2024       SEX: Male   Approximate Weight:  48 lbs as of 3/11/24; he is still growing!   Gets Along With:   Other dogs! We haven't seen him with kids or cats but he can be tested   Currently Living at:  South Carolina shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get his freedom ride up here   Red is Looking For:   His forever family!  Red's beautiful, fluffy coat covers a high-octane, high-energy body! Going by appearances alone, we think this dog is a herding breed mix, and those dogs can run all day. Red might need a lot of  just that - activity. Mere daily walks and/or time in the yard won't be enough. Red is looking for daily opportunities to run and play with other dogs and lots of additional mental stimulation / enrichment. He would likely benefit from being one of those sporty dogs who does advanced obedience training, agility, or nose work! Dogs who don't get all the physical activity and mental enrichment they need will find a way to release their energy in undesirable ways (think chewing on that new couch or pair of shoes you just bought). If Red is indeed the breeds he appears to be, he will need an adopter who loves being active as much as he does and wants a buddy for fun adventures.       What he wants as much as he wants to be active is to know he is safe and loved. What do you say? Can you see yourself stroking his fluffy coat while you chill with him after a long fun day together?   What My Foster Says About Me:   We will update this once he has arrived in the DC area and spent some time with his foster 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. 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! BE A SPONSOR!!!!     Sponsors help Lucky Dog support the many dogs we save. To learn more about sponsorship, please contact     info@luckydoganimalrescue.org   ! April 24, 2024, 10:33 pm

Story
We are trying to help this sweet girl called Bonnie Belle to find a home since her elderly parents are in failing health and cannot care for their five dogs.  Bonnie Belle is a mix of some interesting breeds.  We think she has some Aussie and maybe Boxer in her.  The Australian Shepherd trait is what makes her a protector of the yard and home when strangers approach.  She is the home security dog officer!   This girl is losing her home because her elderly parents have fallen into bad health.  Bonnie Belle is 4 years old and weighs a little over 40 pounds.  She adores people and is good with the other dogs that she spends time with in the fenced yard.  She is housebroken, affectionate and a devoted girl to her family.  If you would like to give Bonnie her next forever home, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue who is helping her 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 23, 2024, 4:30 pm

Story
Lora Lee is a very sweet dog that is just 2 years old and weighs 35 pounds.  She is said to be an Aussie mix with some Terrier.  Whatever the mix is we think she is a most unusual and truly a beautiful girl who well with other dogs in her foster home.  She is a friend to all and apparently she is house trained as long as taken out regular. Lola Lee is crate trained but cannot be left for long hours in the crate.  She is not leash trained  but is trying to improve.   We are requesting that applicants have a fenced yard for her because she is an active girl that needs to run and play with freedom and not at the end of a leash only. This beauty loves to cuddle and be by your side like your BFF and shadow. If you have another dog that would be great for her to have a playmate that can help her wear out her energy every day.  Lola Lee is a great girl and she is going to need an active family that can challenge and meet her need for exercise and be able to keep up with her.   She is really not a dog for a retirement couple that are ready to have a more laidback dog with fewer exercise demands.  If you are interested in this girl please email 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 23, 2024, 4:30 pm

Story
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. For more information, contact Dana Melvin at 703-624-8823 or at danamelvin9385@gmail.com.
