Story
https://foha.org/pet/alaska2026/ Hello, I'm Alaska! I'm ready to be your one and only! Fun fact about my Australian Shepherd breed! One-in-five of my breed is born with a naturally bobbed tail! So I'm kinda of a big deal with my super cute short tail! I love to play and romp and entertain you with my playfulness! Afterward, we could go on long walks and you could help me learn how to walk better on the leash. I'll point out all the unfamiliar smells on our walks and help you get your steps in each day! It's a win for us both! I'd much prefer walking on trails than in a neighborhood where I might come across other canines. My social skills are rusty so I could really benefit from an adopter with experience training me how to walk better on a leash. I love walks oh so much! Once I get my wiggles out, I'd be happy to snuggle in your lap for cuddles! I know sit and down and paw! I do love people and can be very affectionate, but at home I would thrive with having you all to myself! When it's time for bed, I'm okay sleeping in a crate. Or if you have to leave me during the day, I can handle that too. I'll be fine until it's time to head outside and do my business! Oh and I really hope you have one of those soft brushes to keep me handsome! My fluffy fur changes twice a year and I could really use your help making sure I look my best! My last parents said I got upset around food or toys. I hope you don't mind letting me dine alone. I'd do best without canine or feline siblings so I don't have to share toys or treats. I'd really like a second chance and with the right home, I know I can be a good boy! Won't you give me a chance to show my best qualities and be patient to help me improve in other areas?

Story
Current Location: Manassas, VA I'm Blue, a striking 2-year-old Tricolor Australian Shepherd ready for my next adventure! 🐕 At 65 pounds, I'm a solid, energetic guy with the smarts and drive that come with my breed. If you're looking for a loyal companion who's ready to bond with you, I'd love to meet you — come visit and let's see if we're a perfect match! 🤝 I just arrived, but here is what my foster mom has to say about me so far: - I am very friendly and outgoing. I love to be pet and sit right in your lap. - I love other dogs. I want to play with them all the time! I'd love to go to a home with another dog, or to an adopter that has friends/neighbors dogs I can play with! - I like to play fetch, and I bring the ball right back to you! - I like the bath! - I like riding in the car (though I'm not exactly sure how to get in on my own yet). - I didn't love the crate last night, but i only barked for about 5 minutes before i went to sleep. - I am a little chubby- i go stand to lose a few pounds. -I know sit! and I am very photogenic! Foster mom says im pretty awesome! Check back for more updates soon!

Story
If you're looking for a loyal, active & loving companion who will be your constant sidekick, Thor might be your perfect match. He loves to cuddle up next to you on the couch for some quality time at the end of an active day. He's great with kids & does well with other dogs. He can live with cats, though he tends to be a bit too interested in them, so a dog savvy cat or a cat-free home may be best. Thor is fully crate trained & has excellent house manners. he thrives in a structured environment and would do best with a very active individual or family who can give him the exercise he needs. Because he has high energy and some anxiety, he'll do best with someone experienced or committed to continuing his routine. Thor is being rehomed due to a family deployment. This difficult decision comes from a place of wanting the very best life for him. One filled with activity, engagement & companionship.

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!!!!   Come meet Issa and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (9/6) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Alexandria (3351 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, VA 22305)!   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       . 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       .   ​September 5, 2026, 12:46 pm

Story
Meet Luna! Luna is a high-energy Border Collie mix with two speeds: GO and Why Aren't We Going Yet? She's super smart, athletic, curious, and always ready for her next assignment. Luna firmly believes that every household needs a full-time supervisor, personal fitness coach, ball-retrieval specialist, and neighborhood security consultant—and she is available for all positions. When she's not zooming around, Luna would love to have a job to do: learning tricks, playing fetch, working on puzzles, practicing agility, or helping you with absolutely anything that involves movement and attention. She's not looking for a couch-potato lifestyle. Luna needs a mission, a purpose, and preferably a ball. She would also do well with a canine playmate. If you're looking for a fun, clever, energetic companion who will keep you laughing (and moving!), Luna is ready to report for duty!
