Story
Please contact Sophie Pinkston (sophie.pinkston@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Adorable girl looking for her forever home!DENALI NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:    Denali        Best Guess for Breed:    Whippet and lab mix      Best Guess for Age:    5 years as of December 2025        SEX: Female   Approximate Weight:    27 pounds   Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We haven't seen them 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: In certain home settings -- where the environment might be loud or more intense -- Denali would do better with another dog in the home to give her confidence.Denali 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!   Denali is Looking For:    A loving home where she can enjoy her next chapter. This 5-year-old, small black-and-white girl is past the puppy stage and ready to be someone’s companion. With her striking looks and grown-up charm, Denali is hoping to find a forever home to share everyday moments together.   What My Foster Says About Me:    We will update once Denali has spent some time in her foster home.   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   !
