Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.young girl looking for her forever family! TRINITY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!   Come meet Trinity and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (03/16) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Falls Church, VA (6100A Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)!     Name: Trinity       Best Guess for Breed: Australian cattle dog and blue heeler mix   Best Guess for Age:   2 years        SEX:    Female   Approximate Weight:   50 lbs   Gets Along With:    Trinity has lived with other dogs and kids before. We haven’t seen Trinity with cats, but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Special Adoption Considerations: Because Trinity is shy, she needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog. We would be cautious placing Trinity in a home with children under 12 years old because young kids can often scare shy dogs with their level of energy or noise.  Children would need to be supervised closely to not leave doors open and should never walk the dog without an adult holding the leash.  We would be happy to discuss this more in depth with any applicant.   Check out videos of Trinity here: https://youtu.be/Fy-mDvW6ZKo, https://youtu.be/4f65xnUJE2s and https://youtu.be/0CD-rPXoo6U.   Currently Living at:   DC area foster home   All About Trinity:     Trinity is a very joyful and fun-loving dog. She is very shy when initially meeting new people and dogs, but warms up after getting to know everyone, especially if the other resident dogs are confident around new people. She obeys the lay down and sit command for treats.  She is a proud graduate of Wholistic Dogs Good Dog 101 training!  Trinity is very loving and affectionate and has been amazing with my elderly mother. She loves to cuddle up with her and get lots of love. She loves to be right with her people and will stick by your side. She enjoys playing with her toys in the house, prancing and tossing them in the air, jumping up, and pouncing on them. Outside, Trinity is always up for walks in the neighborhood, but can easily be spooked by unfamiliar noises.  She goes 'potty' best when out on a walk on a leash. She isn't fond of our townhome's small backyard, but if you have a fenced in yard, she would love it!   Trinity is very social and loves playing with other dogs, she does need a slow intro to other pups as she is shy initially.  She loves doggie day care too. Trinity is cautious around new people when out on walks, as well as with lots of street traffic and loud and sudden noises. While these can startle Trinity she settles fairly easily with some reassurance and would do well with continued exposure to new experiences. Trinity is comfortable with her crate and can sleep through the night in it, but much prefers the comfort of your bed!  We rarely have to crate her when we are away from home.     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 and spay/neuter. 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. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.

Please contact Rebecca Stein (RebeccaS@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.young boy ready to play! SUNNY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!   Name:    Sunny         Best Guess for Breed:   Australian cattle dog - red heeler type mix   Best Guess for Age:  7 months as of February 2025          SEX:  Male   Estimated Weight:   35 lbs as of 1/26/25; he's still growing!   Gets Along 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 foster home!   Follow Sunny on Instagram at: http://instagram.com/noma.luckydogs. Special Adoption Considerations: When Sunny arrived from the shelter, he was pretty reserved in the hustle and bustle of city life. He has been making great strides in boarding and in his current foster home! We think Sunny would do best  in a home that either has a resident dog or who can make sure Sunny has lots of opportunities to go on walks regularly with other dogs or visit dog parks and/or doggy-daycare with other dogs to build confidence.     Sunny is Looking For:   His forever home! Through no fault of his own this cutie landed in the shelter. He's at the tail end of puppyhood and hasn't seen nearly enough of the world. He's eagerly looking forward to having his own humans for romps in the park and all the adventures they can dream up - he's got all that awesome young-dog energy to burn. And dog school so he can show how super smart he is. And then pets and cuddles and belly scritches at the end of a fun day together. Most of all, though, he wants to know he's safe and loved. In exchange he promises all the adoring gazes and happy tail wags he's storing up, and loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Is Sunny the one you see by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: Sunny has been great! He's adjusting well and is very curious and interested in everything. He loves playing with toys and had a blast with some puzzle and chew toys. I have been taking him for walks and he enjoys sniffing everything. He also enjoys going to the dog park and warmed up to the other dogs right away. He loves other people and gets very wiggly when he sees the people he knows.    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 and transport from the shelter.    If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online bit.ly/adoptaluckydog   Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption.
