OLD FASHION NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Old Fashion Best Guess for Breed: Cairn terrier and Australian shepherd mix - or schipperke mix? Best Guess for Age: 2.5 years as of March 2025 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 32 lbs as of March 2025 - needs to drop a few Gets Along With: Old Fashion is great with other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: DC area boarding partner All about Old Fashion: Old Fashion is a delightful dog who ended up in the shelter due to no fault of his own. He's closed that chapter and is eager to once again have his own humans! And to make new pup pals - he is very dog friendly and enjoys meeting new dogs. He is truly a lovely dog - here's what his foster said about him: 'Old Fashion is one of the most awesome fosters I have ever had. He is just so happy, confident, social, and loving! I brought him home to my own 8- and 19-pound dogs, along with my 13- and 41-pound foster dogs. He was just fantastic with them all - so friendly, so polite, so gentle with my small dogs. All five of them love human attention, and I am one person - and Old Fashion was very patient, waiting for his turn with me. And when I called him over - oh, he was so happy, so loving, so eager for all the pets and snuggles. He is really good in the home! Very polite - no chewing on unauthorized items, four on the floor when greeting me, waited his turn to be fed, no accidents in the home. Quiet in his crate (wasn't super excited to go in but complied and was chill in there). He loves walks! And is just so social on walks - he wants to say hi to every dog and every person he meets, but is also happy to walk past without greeting them if I tell him to do so. The shelter he came from 'guessed' he's a Cairn terrier and Aussie mix. I don't think so. His frame, coat (with the rough strip down the back), ears, everything - I'm betting he's more of a schipperke mix. Probably a breed unfamiliar to the shelter. Schipperkes are such great little dogs and that fits Old Fashion to a T!' Old Fashion also got to go out for a day with a volunteer, who loved him as much as his foster did. In her words: 'The little guy is awesome. Very happy, confident little dude, super easy to walk, very good in the car. We drove to the dog park and he had a blast for a few hours. He was very dog friendly.' Old Fashion is just all-around wonderful. He and his forever family will be very lucky to have each other. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.
