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!!!!    This dog/cat has a pending adoption but please check out our other great dogs/cats at www.luckydoganimalrescue.org. If you see someone you are interested in, please email adoptionhelp@luckydoganimalrescue.org so we can update your adoption questionnaire.     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!

Name:  Fido        Best Guess for Breed:  Australian shepherd/shepherd type mix Best Guess for Age:  9 months as of Oct. 2026         SEX:  Male   Approximate Weight: 53 lbs as of 10/5/26; he is still growing!   Gets Along With:  Fido does well with other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:  DC area foster home   Special adoption considerations: Fido is shy and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog who will show him the ropes.   Fido is Looking For:   Hi! My brother Flarry and i have enjoyed growing up together but now we're ready to split up and get our own homes. I'm looking for one where I get to go on lots of adventures with my new humans - long sniffy walks, romps in parks, world exploration! To get there, I need humans who understand I haven't seen enough of the world and am shy right now -  I need some extra help getting used to new places! A welcoming resident dog who shows me how to dog will help me build my braves too. Most of all I want to always be safe and loved, to know where I belong. I have so much love and loyalty to give. What do you say? Does that sound like a fair trade to you?What My Foster Says About Me:   Fido is incredibly sweet! We joke that he's like a baby giraffe with wobbly legs that can't quite keep up with his body. He loves the fosters resident dog and often looks to him for comfort/confidence. He is making good progress with house training. He is doing well with the fosters kids as he warms up to them - his favorite thing is waking them up by jumping on their bed :) He has been a great house guest!! Fido even got to spend a day at doggy daycare and had a BLAST - staff said he loved his packmates and was curious! Fido is also super food motivated which is great for training purposes!   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 pup is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.

Please contact Robert Badura (robert.badura@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.happy young girl ready to play! BONNIE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!   Come meet Bonnie and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (8/23) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Silver Spring (12020 Cherry Hill Rd, Silver Spring, MD 20904)!   Name: Bonnie       Best Guess for Breed:  Australian shepherd mix, maybe with some other type of shepherd Best Guess for Age:  9 months as of August 2026         SEX:  Female   Approximate Weight: 41 lbs as of 8/2/26 - is still growing!   Gets Along With:  Other dogs, cats, and kids! Has lived with cats and kids in South Carolina.   Currently Living at:  DC area foster home   Bonnie is Looking For:  Her forever home! Shelter staff say Bonnie has so much awesome young-dog energy and she's eager to get her own humans to burn it all off with - long sniffy walks, lots of romps, lots of adventures - yes, please! Mental and physical enrichment like advanced agility training would be terrific too!  Most of all, though, she wants to know she's safe and loved. In exchange she promises all the adoring gazes and happy tail wags and crazy expressions of love she's storing up, and loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say? Is Bonnie the active companion you see by your side on all your fun excursions?What My Foster Says About Me:  Bonnie is a rambunctious girl - playful and full of puppy energy!  She is learning her manners when she meets new people so she doesn't jump but she does it because she is so excited to say hello.  She loves meeting other dogs and people, including kids.  She takes treats very gently and is learning to walk nicely on a leash.  She is mostly potty trained and has had very few accidents. She does have that puppy energy and is curious about everything and wants to give things a little chew but when you tell her to drop it, she listens well. She is incredibly soft and loves a good snuggle. She is highly trainable.

Story
Meet Piper — A Beautiful Blue-Eyed Aussie Looking for a Loving Home  Beautiful Piper is an Australian Shepherd with gorgeous blue eyes and a gentle, sweet personality. She may be a little shy when you first meet her, but give her some time and patience, and you'll see her wonderful personality begin to shine. Piper and her sister, Phoebe, found themselves in a kill shelter after their unspayed mother had an unwanted litter. Sadly, this is something that happens far too often, and these beautiful girls had no say in how their lives began. Now Piper is ready for a family who will give her the love, security, and patience she deserves. Piper enjoys going for walks and being brushed—she especially loves the one-on-one attention that comes with a good brushing session. She's perfectly comfortable with her sister Phoebe and could potentially live with another dog, provided they are a good match. However, Piper becomes frightened and overwhelmed when surrounded by large numbers of dogs, so dog parks and busy dog-filled environments would not be a good fit for her. Because Piper is still building her confidence, she would do best in a calmer home with older children who can give her the time and space she needs to feel comfortable. She could be happy as your only dog or with a compatible canine companion. Piper is a special girl who doesn't need a chaotic life—she needs a patient person who will let her blossom at her own pace. Once she trusts you, you'll discover what a sweet and loving companion she can be. Adoption fee includes: first 2 DAPP, bordetella, deworming, flea preventative, sterilized, heartworm test, microchip Adoption fee: $525.00   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have. The adoption policies and applications can be found at the following links: https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-cat and https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-dog. Email us at  adoption@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued cats. Email us at dogadoptions@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued dogs. See our calendar of adoption events at https://fancycats.org/(scroll towards bottom) You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like bridges between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats and dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters.

Story
Baxter came to us at 5 months old, originally from a reputable breeder before spending a few months with another family. He is now 2 years old and his birthday is August 17th! We are placing him for adoption as he and our other male dog do not get along and vie for dominance. When alone or with our female dog Baxter is lovely and we will miss him. It is with a heavy heart we are putting him up for adoption by another loving and caring hooman who he can love and be loved! Baxter takes time to warm up to people but once he does he is cuddly, often docile with his human and will shadow you around the house. He has boundless energy and needs regular exercise daily and mentally stimulating play to occupy his mind. A new home for him would ideally have no other pets and a patient parent to see his potential and sweetness beyond any initial fear he may experience after being rehomed. If his new home does not work out we would want him back avoiding any unnecessary shelter stay.

Story
Meet Millie, a gorgeous puppy! Check out that sweet little face! She prefers to give whole-body hugs, even to strangers! She knows "sit" and is working on "shake'. She is good on a leash. She loves playing with toys. I gave her a ball that squeaks when she moves it and she plays and plays with it. She takes treats very easily from my hand. She's a great puppy and will make a wonderful addition to a family. She will be good in a home with kids as she loves everyone. HART Homepage: https://hart90.org/ Questions About this Animal?

Story
Meet Tally! Tally is a sweet, affectionate, playful girl who we think is a young adult Border Collie mix. At 34 pounds, she’s a great size, with a soft, silky coat and a happy, bouncy personality. Tally absolutely loves people and wants to be wherever her humans are. She’s incredibly affectionate, loves to cuddle, follows her people around the house, and makes friends easily. She’s the kind of dog who will happily curl up next to you on the couch or climb into your lap if you let her. She’s also smart, playful, and energetic. She’s joyful and like a “jumping bean,” always bouncing, hopping, and looking for something fun to do. After she has time to settle in, she has a more moderate energy level because she settles quickly once she’s had some activity. We think she’d have a lot of fun with obedience training, agility, hiking, or other activities that give her both physical exercise and something to think about. Tally has done well with other dogs and was described by her foster mom as very dog-friendly. She particularly enjoys playing and cuddling with other dogs. She can still be a little unsure about social cues with more assertive dogs, so continued work on boundaries and appropriate dog interactions will be important. She loves her toys and attention, and is learning to be patient and share with her pack. She responds well to correction and has never shown any aggression.  She has lived successfully with cats. She may chase a cat that runs, but she redirects easily, so we think she could do well with a confident cat and appropriate introductions. Tally is doing well with her house manners and is crate trained and potty trained. She settles quietly in her crate when left alone and overnight. Like most young dogs, she does need an outlet for her energy and appropriate toys and chews to keep her entertained. Her leash skills are still a work in progress. She pulls and would benefit from continued training and possibly a harness. She also has a curiosity and can be a flight risk if a door if left open, so her new family will need to be diligent about doors and entrances while she settles in. She’s not looking for an escape opportunity, but if given the chance, she may take a joy ride to explore. Tally is a wonderful combination of affectionate, fun, and smart. She is eager to please, listens well, and has already made a lot of progress in a short time. She’s looking for an active family who will continue her training, give her plenty of exercise and enrichment, and appreciate a very loving dog who wants to be part of everything they do. Apply today! BREED ESTIMATE: Border Collie Mix GENDER: Female APPROXIMATE WEIGHT: 34 lbs APPROXIMATE AGE: ~ 2 years old COAT TYPE: Wavy, soft coat ADOPTION FEE: $425 OTHER INFO: UTD on shots/spayed/microchipped LOCATION: Charlotte, NC   FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application. You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to https://foster.worthydog.org and fill out an application. Worthy Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue that primarily adopts to families in the DC Metro area. October 15, 2026, 1:14 pm
