Lucky Dog Animal Rescue

Lucky Dog Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing homeless and abandoned animals, primarily dogs from high-kill shelters and owners who can no longer care for them. By working with committed volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians, trainers, and boarding facilities, we are able to rescue hundreds of animals every year, provide them with loving temporary care, and find them well-matched, carefully screened forever homes. We also serve as a resource to our community and all pet owners by providing education and information on responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and good nutrition.

THEA NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!   Name:   Thea       Best Guess for Breed:    Retriever mix   Best Guess for Age:  6 months as of February 2025          SEX:    Female   Estimated Weight:   27 lbs as of 2/7/25; she is still growing!   Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We haven't seen her with kids or cats but she can be tested if you have them.   Currently Living at:    Shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get her freedom ride up here! Thea is Looking For:  This sweetie is out of the tiny squishy puppy stage but she's still a bigger old puppy and she wants what all puppies want - lots of play time and lots of love! She has so much to see and do. She'd love to do it all by the side of her humans. Long sniffy walks, romps in parks, all the adventures her new family can dream up - yes, please! And she'd love to go to dog school to continue the training she began in the shelter.What she wants most of all is to know where she belongs, that she's safe and loved for all her days. In exchange, she promises to always make you smile, to give you adoring gazes - and loyal companionship. What do you say? Is Thea the one for your home and your heart?  What Shelter Staff Say About Thea: Thea spent some time on the Dogs Playing For Life Canine Center campus in Florida. There, she received basic training and enrichment, and socialized with other dogs. Thea worked on the Sit and Place commands there. She also worked on loose leash walking and sitting at open doors, waiting to be released to go out. Boo also learned to play with enrichment toys such as food-filled Kongs and food puzzles. She became comfortable socializing with other dogs in playgroup; her play style is described as gentle and dainty. She could make a great doggy sibling for another gentle pup!
