Story
Please contact Destiny Sibert (DestinyS@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet scruffy boy ISO love! IGGY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Iggy and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (03/30) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Falls Church, VA (6100A Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)! Name: Iggy Best Guess for Breed: Cairn terrier mix Best Guess for Age: 5 years as of February 2025 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 24 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with kids or cats, but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here after completing heartworm treatment. Special adoption considerations: Iggy is a truly Lucky Dog. Although he has tested positive for heartworms, treatment has been scheduled! 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 talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process. Additionally, Iggy is from Puerto Rico. 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 Iggy would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure he can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes. Iggy is Looking For: Woof! I'm a sato - a street dog from Puerto Rico. I'd like to say I *was* a sato - I would like to be known as a beloved family dog. I'm seeking my own humans for long sniffy walks - the smells in the DC area are going to be so different! - romps in parks - and all the adventures they can dream up. Most of all, I want to know I'm safe and loved and where I belong. To bestow upon my new family adoring gazes, happy tail wags, and loyal companionship. What do you say? Can you see me by your side? What the Rescue Campus Staff Says About Me: Iggy has a gentle and respectful playstyle with short spurts of zoomies. He's a curious boy that's always ready for a good time. What My Foster Says About Me: Iggy needs a foster! 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.
