Story
Jetty is a two-year old Portuguese Water Dog that we rescued at 16 weeks in NJ. We've raised him in our townhouse in Northern Virginia where we have worked hard to train and acclimate him to our lifestyle. Jetty is an incredible dog who is smart, loyal, obedient, an absolute sweetheart to our immediate and extended family. He is high energy and loves walks, training, mental games, hiking, and swimming. He will follow you from room to room and want to be involved in whatever youre doing. Hes a great companion for an active person with strict training experience, with a yard and or other dogs to set the tone. We're rehoming Jetty due to aggression issues that seem to stem from him being very nervous in our living environment which has led to a few bites. He deserves the opportunity for a life that is less stressful for him that gives him the space to relax and succeed.

Story
Bronson is a stunning young pup with a one-of-a-kind brindle coat—he must have gotten those gorgeous markings from his dad! His mom was a mix of Standard Poodle and Airedale, giving him a slightly rough coat, soulful eyes, and a sharp mind to match his good looks. This smart boy was born around Oct.1, 2024 and  is already making great progress with crate and potty training, thanks to his foster mom’s dedication. He’s highly intelligent and eager to learn, especially when treats and toys are involved! Bronson has already mastered “sit” and is well on his way to being a well-mannered companion. Friendly and affectionate, Bronson gets along wonderfully with kids, cats, and other dogs. If you're looking for a loyal, loving, and trainable pup, Bronson is ready to be your new best friend! &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143. This boy is what is just going to be a sixty to seventy pound handsome adult. If you would like to adopt or know more about him, please conta Critter Cavalry rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.  PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMarch 12, 2025, 9:47 pm

Story
Brandon is a handsome 5 month old bundle of love with a stunning brindle coat that he must have inherited from his dad! His mom was a unique mix of half Standard Poodle and half Airedale, so Brandon is destined to grow into a big, lovable boy that could weigh 60 pounds. With his lovingly sweet personality, Brandon is the total puppy package! His foster mom has been working hard on his crate training and potty training, and he’s already mastered “sit.” He’s great with kids, cats, and other dogs, making him a perfect fit for just about any type of family.  Brandon would love an active family that could provide him a fenced yard where Brandon can safely play. He would also embrace having  another canine companion in the family or active children or family members that will take him for good walks, jogs and a life filled with fun adventures. Brandon would be a great social butterfly out in the community and neighborhood. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate pup with a heart of gold (and a golden coat to match!), Brandon might just be your perfect match!   Please write to critter cavalry rescue, at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested!  Let us know where you live as well.  PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.March 13, 2025, 8:04 pm

Story
Please contact Destiny Sibert (DestinyS@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Poodle Ready to Give Oodles of LoveCELESTE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:    Celeste        Best Guess for Breed:    Standard Poodle Best Guess for Age:    8 years as of March 2025        Gender:    female Approximate Weight:    42 Lbs Gets Along With: Other Dogs! We haven't seen her with cats or kids but she can be tester. Currently Living At: Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus. She needs a foster or adopter to secure her freedom ride to the DC area Celeste is Looking For: Her forever home! This sweetie landed in the shelter through no fault of her own. She's firmly closed that chapter and is eager to get her new one. The one where she gets her own humans. Where she gets to go on long sniffy walks in the neighborhood, meeting new pup and people pals - and explore the rest of the world! Quality kibble and a cushy dog bed are on her wish lost as well, and she wouldn't refuse to try puppacinos and other tasty treats either. You know what, though? She's way out of the puppy yips and as a wise, experienced dog knows what's most important in life: Being safe and loved and under her own roof. That's right at the top of her wish list. In exchange she promises adoring gazes and loyal companionship for all her days. At 42 pounds, that's a pretty huggable snuggle buddy and a solid presence by your side. How about it? What the Rescue Campus Staff Says About Me: Celeste has low-to-medium energy and has done well with the older kids at her South Carolina foster. She would benefit from more socialization with other dogs. What My Foster Says About Me: Celeste 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 $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm testing.  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.
