Story

Please contact Caitlin Finn (caitlin.finn@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Cutie pup looking for a home ISSA NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Issa Best Guess for Breed: Aussie/Cattle Dog Mix Best Guess for Age: 4 months as of August 2026 SEX: Female Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!): 20 lbs as of 8/16/26 Gets Along With: Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs, cats and kids so long as they receive patience and proper training. Currently Living at: DC area foster home Special Adoption Considerations: Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy. Issa is Looking For: Hiya! I'm Issa! Me and my littermates have loved our time in the puppy pile, but we are each ready to pack our bags and find our very own forever home! I'm looking for a home that will let me play with toys and get my puppy zoomies out and give me snuggles in between playtimes. When I'm a little older, I can't wait to explore my new neighborhood on lots of walks, and I'd really like to make a bunch of doggie friends along the way. Oh, and I should probably take a puppy obedience class or two so I can show you how smart I am. What do you say? Do you have room in your heart for me? What My Foster Says About Me: Issa LOVES to play! She's always down to chase, or be chased, by her siblings in the yard and loves to start sibling wrestling sessions. She's an enthusiastic puppy who's always eager for new toys, treats, and experiences. She loves to get her feet in her water bowl so I bet would make a great buddy for beach or lake adventures with her future family! She does well in her crate overnight and is quickly picking up training. Puppy Vetting Requirements: Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be “fully” vaccinated. It is the adopter’s responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog. Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog! TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this puppy is $485, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online 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 contact Lowell Nelson (lowelln@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.young boy seeking fresh start and love! FIDO NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Fido Best Guess for Breed: Australian shepherd/shepherd type mix Best Guess for Age: 8 months as of Sep 2026 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 48 lbs as of 9/6/26; he is still growing! Gets Along With: Fido does well with other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: DC area foster home Special adoption considerations: Fido is shy and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog who will show him the ropes. Fido is Looking For: Hi! My brother Flarry and i have enjoyed growing up together but now we're ready to split up and get our own homes. I'm looking for one where I get to go on lots of adventures with my new humans - long sniffy walks, romps in parks, world exploration! To get there, I need humans who understand I haven't seen enough of the world and am shy right now - I need some extra help getting used to new places! A welcoming resident dog who shows me how to dog will help me build my braves too. Most of all I want to always be safe and loved, to know where I belong. I have so much love and loyalty to give. What do you say? Does that sound like a fair trade to you?What My Foster Says About Me: Fido is incredibly sweet! We joke that he's like a baby giraffe with wobbly legs that can't quite keep up with his body. He loves the fosters resident dog and often looks to him for comfort/confidence. He is making good progress with house training. He is doing well with the fosters kids as he warms up to them - his favorite thing is waking them up by jumping on their bed :) He has been a great house guest!! Fido even got to spend a day at doggy daycare and had a BLAST - staff said he loved his packmates and was curious! Fido is also super food motivated which is great for training purposes! 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 pup is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.

Please contact Robert Badura (robert.badura@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.happy young girl ready to play! BONNIE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Bonnie and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (8/23) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Silver Spring (12020 Cherry Hill Rd, Silver Spring, MD 20904)! Name: Bonnie Best Guess for Breed: Australian shepherd mix, maybe with some other type of shepherd Best Guess for Age: 9 months as of August 2026 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 41 lbs as of 8/2/26 - is still growing! Gets Along With: Other dogs, cats, and kids! Has lived with cats and kids in South Carolina. Currently Living at: DC area foster home Bonnie is Looking For: Her forever home! Shelter staff say Bonnie has so much awesome young-dog energy and she's eager to get her own humans to burn it all off with - long sniffy walks, lots of romps, lots of adventures - yes, please! Mental and physical enrichment like advanced agility training would be terrific too! Most of all, though, she wants to know she's safe and loved. In exchange she promises all the adoring gazes and happy tail wags and crazy expressions of love she's storing up, and loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say? Is Bonnie the active companion you see by your side on all your fun excursions?What My Foster Says About Me: Bonnie is a rambunctious girl - playful and full of puppy energy! She is learning her manners when she meets new people so she doesn't jump but she does it because she is so excited to say hello. She loves meeting other dogs and people, including kids. She takes treats very gently and is learning to walk nicely on a leash. She is mostly potty trained and has had very few accidents. She does have that puppy energy and is curious about everything and wants to give things a little chew but when you tell her to drop it, she listens well. She is incredibly soft and loves a good snuggle. She is highly trainable. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.

Story

10 months old, 23 lbs Personality: energetic, playful, affectionate, snuggly, curious, shy, smart. Meet Noah, a playful pup with endless curiosity, an adventurous spirit, and a loving personality. This affectionate boy is super sweet, and he has really come out of his shell, growing more confident every day! Noah gets along wonderfully with the other dogs in his foster home, always ready for the next game or backyard adventure. While he can be a little shy when meeting new people, he warms up quickly and greets visitors with enthusiasm. His foster describes him as "not having a mean bone in his body," and his gentle nature shines through in every interaction. After playtime, Noah is a true snuggler who enjoys staying close to his people. He loves curling up beside you and even likes maintaining physical contact while he sleeps. He is crate-trained and doing very well with house training. He's highly food motivated, making him eager to learn, and he already has great recall when called. He’ll thrive with an adopter who can provide encouragement and plenty of opportunities for play and exploration.

Shae

Border Collie

Arlington, VA

Size

Story

Shae is a sweet young lass. She's a big more tentative around new things than her brother, Simon, but warms up quickly. She likes to sit on your lap, in fact, she'd like nothing better than to cuddle on your lap while watching TV. Shae would like to be your new BFF. As she did not learn about sharing in school, she would do best as an only dog in the household. Shae comes to us from a shelter in rural southwestern Virginia. Shae and her brother, Simon, as well as their father, were seized from their owner for neglect (starvation). An anonymous donor has become Shae's Guardian Angel, in memory of her wonderful Bosnian street dog, Chloe. Gender: Female DOB: Approx. 12/1/2023 Current size; 30 pounds PLEASE NOTE: we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA.
