Story
Meet Schmoop! This 9 week old spunky little fluff is a sweet, energetic guy who will make the best addition to any family! He is currently being fostered with his sister, “Sugar Booger”, and they spend their days wrestling and running around in the backyard and once their energy runs out, they love to cuddle up together in the dog bed. Schmoop would certainly love having a canine playmate in his forever home or an active family! He is catching on quickly to potty training and is very good about going on pee pads AND he sleeps through the night like a champ! We have no idea what their parents were as these guys were dumped in a yard in Mississippi so we cannot guarantee breed mix or adult size. Based off their looks, we are saying they are Aussie mixes and based off their current size and paws I would say they would be in the 50 to 60 pound range full grown! But don’t just take my word for it, apply to come see him today and meet your new best friend!! Adoption Day: February 14th at PetSmart Tysons Corner from 10:00–11:00 AM, an approved adopter must be present to adopt. *How it Works* Pups are in foster care for at least 3 weeks. Once on the website, they are available for adopters to apply for a Meet & Greet. Applicants will then talk and meet with the foster after being connected via our Adoption Coordinator, this only happens if you apply! If you are chosen by the foster to adopt the puppy and you want to move forward in adopting, there is a deadline to submit your adoption application in order to adopt the puppy on February 14th. If you are a chosen adopter, you would go to whats called the "private adoption" on said date. Public adoptions are for selected animals that did not get adopted yet and it is a first come first serve basis and adopting on the spot that day. Some pups may be part of the public event—check our Facebook page closer to the date to see if this pup will be attending the extra fun! ##2639042##

When she’s awake, she’s playful and curious, happily entertaining herself with her toys and showing off her fun, puppy energy. She’s also very smart and already paper trained, which makes her an impressive little learner.

Story
Meet Sugar Booger! This 9 week old sweet girl with the dreamiest puppy dog eyes and gorgeous coat will make the best addition to any family! She is currently being fostered with her brother, “Schmoop”, and they spend their days wrestling and running around in the backyard and once their energy runs out, they love to cuddle up together in the dog bed. While her brother is more on the energetic side, sweet Sugar Booger has a calmer demeanor and will come up for cuddles once she is done playing. She is catching on quickly to potty training and is very good about going on pee pads AND he sleeps through the night like a champ! We have no idea what their parents were as these guys were dumped in a yard in Mississippi so we cannot guarantee breed mix or adult size. Based off their looks, we are saying they are Aussie mixes (Sugar Booger seems to have a thicker double coat though) and based off their current size and paws I would say they would be in the 50 to 60 pound range full grown! But don’t just take my word for it, apply to come see him today and meet your new best friend!!

Please contact Chandler Jaffe (chandler.jaffe@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.small pup, huge heart!KORN NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Korn and other great adoptable dogs this Saturday (1/31) from 11 am -2 pm at the PetSmart in Alexandria (3351 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305)!   Name:    Korn       Best Guess for Breed:    Australian shepherd/terrier mix    Best Guess for Age:   11 weeks as of 1/14/26           SEX:  male   Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!):   5lbs as of 12/29/25   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.  Korn is Looking For:    Hiya! I'm Korn! Me and my littermates, Kadence, Kellie, Korey, Kelp, Kelsey, and Khalid 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: Korn is very sweet and gentle. He's happy to let his brother run the show. He can be a little timid, but he very obviously loves people, he just needs a bit more of a gentle hand. And there's nothing he loves more than wrestling a stuffed animal that's about 3x his size! 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.      Due to this puppy’s young age, she/he has not yet been spayed or neutered.  As part of the adoption contract, it will be your responsibility, as the adopter, to ensure that this is done no later than 4/23/2026. There are NO EXCEPTIONS and NO EXTENSIONS to this date. A non-refundable spay/neuter deposit will be collected if you would like Lucky Dog to pay for this animal to be spayed/neutered at one of our low cost partner vets.   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       . 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       .   &#226&#128&#139January 30, 2026, 9:28 am
