LARA NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Lara      Best Guess for Breed:  Great Dane mix    Best Guess for Age: 2.5 years as of May 2025      SEX:  Female   Approximate Weight:    85 lbs   Gets Along With:Lara gets along with other dogs!  We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:  Vieques, PR shelter; needs an ADOPTER to get her freedom flight to the DC area! Next transport leaves May 2; get busy and apply now if you're interested!    See this awesome girl in this video! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vL7fwj9OKGQ   Special adoption considerations: Lara is a truly Lucky Dog! She tested positive for Heartworm disease but has already been treated! 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. We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the adoption counseling process.   Additionally, dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think Lara would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure she can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes. Lara is Looking For:  Her forever family! How does a GREAT DANE, of all breeds, become homeless on Vieques, a small island off Puerto Rico? We don't know! The most important thing to know is that we are committed to connecting her with her humans. She's seeking her forever family for sniffy walks (can you just imagine? Her head next to your waist) and all the adventures they can dream up.    But you know what she wants most of all? To know she's safe and loved for all her days, to know where she belongs. What do you say? Is this amazing girl the one you see trotting by your side?   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.
