Meet Aquarius (Aqua)

Aquarius (Aqua) is a 5-year-old Chihuahua mix weighing around 13 pounds. She is a well-behaved happy dog and is both people-friendly and dog-friendly. Aqua’s dream home would be to live with another companion dog. She has always been with another older dog so is used to following a dog around or sleeping next to one. She likes to play with a dog no matter the size or breed. Walking…walking…walking – Aqua is accustomed to walking on a leash and asks for her daily walks. She gets so excited when a leash is picked up and runs toward the front door. Even when her foster mother is putting on tennis shoes or a jacket to go somewhere Aqua thinks it means she gets to go on an adventure walk. She tends to bark at dogs along the way but warms up once she meets them. Running or exploring in the backyard is her next favorite thing to do. She will look longingly out the porch door when she wants to go out. She also enjoys riding car knowing she is going somewhere fun (she will even jump in the car when doors are open such as unloading groceries). Aqua is an “everyone” type of dog equally compatible with and equally loving all members of her foster family (woman, man, older child, friends). She gives huge greetings when a foster family member arrives home and even to any guest that comes in the front door when just meeting him/her. If Aqua sees a dog bed she immediately takes possession of it. And if there is another dog bed in the area, she goes from one to another. She likes to be covered up by a blanket so will bury herself inside of one. The sofa is also something she considers hers wanting to lay on it when possible.  If a person sits down, she will jump on his/her lap or snuggle beside until he/she gets up. Aqua’s goal is to be where the action is whether it is in a specific room in the foster home or the kitchen where food is prepared. An active family would be ideal for Aqua since she has a lot of energy. She loves people so would be thrilled if someone is usually home to keep her company and if not, she would like another dog to be around. She is fully potty trained and does not need a crate – when humans leave Aqua will curl up to take a nap. She came into the 4LD rescue due to a change in the owner’s health that caused her to not be able to care for her dogs anymore. They had Aqua since she was a puppy and took excellent care of her. The average lifespan for this breed of dog is 15 years; therefore, Aqua’s adopter will need to be prepared to keep her for around 9 more years so she will not have to move to a different home again. Aqua’s adoption fee is $515. This dog comes microchipped, spayed, up to date on all necessary vaccines/rabies shots, and heartworm tested being negative. She is currently being fostered in the Plant City/Valrico Florida area. ***We are a foster-based rescue with no shelter or facility to view our dogs, and our address is a mailing address only. Please be patient as we are an all-volunteer rescue, and our rescue dogs are in various loving foster homes throughout West-Central Florida. As a general rule we try to limit our adoptions to within the state of FL. If interested in one of our dogs, please fill out a foster or adopt application at www.4luckydogs.org, and we will contact you by phone/text if we feel your application is the best fit out of the ones received.***
