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.

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   !

Mirana is at the tail end of puppyhood and has all that awesome young-dog energy. She is eagerly looking forward to having her own humans for sniffy walks and romps with pup pals and all the adventures they can dream up. And dog school so she can show how super smart she is. And then pets and cuddles and belly scritches at the end of a fun day together. Most of all, though, she wants to know she is safe and loved. In exchange she promises all the adoring gazes and happy tail wags she has, and loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say? Is Mirana the one you have been seeking?   What My Foster Says About Me: Mirana is the most affectionate dog we’ve had. She always wants to be with her people for pets and belly rubs. She has a charming puppy playfulness about her and is full of curiosity about her new life.

Corey

Australian Shepherd

Male, 8 yrs 7 mos
Washington, DC
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
House-trained,
Story
Male, 8.5 years old, 60 pounds Personality: good running partner, snuggler, playful, smart, adaptable, goofy/funny, outgoing, independent, energetic, and affectionate. Corey is an easygoing, goofy boy who’s the perfect mix of affectionate and independent. He loves cuddles and belly rubs but is also happy to relax on the couch or in his crate when you’re busy. This smart pup is house trained and crate trained, though he’s trusted home alone uncrated. Corey enjoys walks with plenty of sniffing and will keep a good pace if you are up for a run, but he really thrives on mental stimulation. He is incredibly smart and trainable — he has a long repertoire of words (including “stay,” “go to your crate,” “bring it,” and “give kisses”) and is quick to pick up new ones. He is also a "talker": If he needs to go out, thinks it’s dinner time, or wants his ball, he will let you know. And when he gets his favorite ball, he might even let out a happy little growl of satisfaction. If you are looking for a loving, clever dog who will make you laugh and be a great adventure buddy, Corey could be your perfect match. Apply today to meet Corey! ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC.
