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.

To learn more about Bert, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org. Meet Bert, your new snuggly adventure buddy! Bert is an energetic 3-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with the heart of a giant marshmallow. He’s a friendly, people-loving goofball who thinks life is best lived at full speed—unless it’s couch-snuggle time, in which case he melts into you like warm butter. He loves meeting new humans and bonds with his people quickly. This handsome guy is an adventurer at heart. He’s thoroughly enjoyed park strolls, backyard zoomies, fetch marathons, and sniffing every interesting smell within a 5-mile radius. He’s also impressively smart—he already knows “sit,” “heel,” “lie down,” and “come,” and will stop what he’s doing with just a clap (basically dog magic). Bert can get a bit overexcited around some dogs and when he spots squirrels or birds, so walks with him are never boring. Because of his abundant zest for life, a home with adults or older teens is ideal. Once he burns off his energy, he settles into a calm, easygoing companion who loves napping nearby and checking in for the occasional dose of affection. At his core, Bert is a sweet, affectionate, hilarious pup who wants a home where he can run, play, explore, and then flop dramatically onto you for love. Loyal, cuddly, and full of personality, he’ll bring tons of joy—and plenty of funny stories—to whoever adopts him. Come meet Bert today and get ready to fall in love with this fun-loving guy!

Story
Meet April, a charming 3-year-old Australian Shepherd mix who is ready to steal your heart! 🐶😍 With her beautiful coat and bright, expressive eyes, April is not just a pretty face; she’s a bundle of love and affection. Her favorite pastime? Giving warm, heartfelt hugs that will make you feel cherished and adored. April is full of playful energy, making her an ideal companion for an active family or another lively dog. She loves to engage in fun activities, whether it’s chasing after a ball in the backyard, going for long walks, or simply enjoying playtime with her furry friends. Her intelligence shines through as she quickly adapts and learns, and she’s already house trained, which means she’ll settle into her new home with ease. This sweet girl has a special affinity for male dogs, and she enjoys their company immensely, and she does great with children. However, she would thrive best in a feline-free environment, allowing her to focus on forming strong bonds with her human and canine companions. April is spayed and up-to-date on all her vaccinations, ensuring she’s healthy and ready to embark on her new journey with a loving family. April is not just looking for a place to stay; she’s searching for a forever home where she can truly belong. If you’re an active household ready to provide a nurturing environment filled with love, adventure, and plenty of cuddles, April would be the perfect addition to your family ❤️ RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such. Please visit us on Facebook: Rebecca's Paws and Claws in Remlap and our website: www.rpacirescue.org. All dogs from this rescue are transported from Alabama to the Pennsylvania/ New England/ Virginia area and delivered in Pennsylvania, Virginia and RI. Each dog will come fully vetted. Price also includes transportation and a Health Certificate as required by law. There is a 100.00 deposit required at the time of adoption to secure the transport crate. The remainder of the fee will be paid once you pick up the dog. Naturally the 100.00 comes off the total owed at pick up. It will be refunded if for any reason you decide you do not want to adopt, unless the transport has already left.with the dog.

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   !
