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 visit us online at        www.luckydoganimalrescue.org       .

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.

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.

Story
To learn more about Wurlitzer, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Wurlitzer will be at one of our adoption events this weekend! Visit our event page (https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/) to see which one—event listings are usually updated on Fridays with attending dogs. Do you like long walks and cuddles? Generous with belly scratches for super-handsome and friendly dogs? Wurlitzer is playing your favorite tune! Wurlitzer has charmed everyone he’s met at Lost Dog! Fun, friendly, and a little goofy, he’s a joy to be with and brings his uplifting vibes everywhere he goes. Not only does Wurlitzer have a magnetic personality, but he has also shown that he is intelligent, knows some basic commands, and is not much of a barker. He loves making new friends, too – human and canine. This affectionate and bouncy young dog would be a great take-everywhere companion!
