TRINITY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!   Come meet Trinity and other great adoptable dogs this Saturday (1/11) from 12-2 pm at the Petco in Annandale, VA (7434 Little River Turnpike, Annandale, VA 22003)!     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 she can be tested! 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.

We haven’t seen Trixie with kids, but she can be tested! Trixie should not go to a home with cats.  Currently Living At: South Carolina shelter - Trixie needs a foster or adopter to make her way to the DC area Special Adoption Considerations: Trixie is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs.  All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care.  After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months.  We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left! Trixie is Looking For:  Meet Trixie, a 3-year-old red heeler mix with striking pointy ears and a beautiful white and brindle coat.

Please contact Anna Colllins (anna.collins@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.handsome, athletic SBWM ISO family! OREO NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Oreo      Best Guess for Breed:  Australian cattle dog/blue heeler mix  Best Guess for Age:   5 years as of October 2024    Gender: Male Approximate Weight:  32 lbs Gets Along With: Oreo does well with other dogs and needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog due to his shyness. We would be cautious placing him 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.We haven't seen him with cats, but he can be tested if you have them.  Currently Living At: DC area foster home Oreo is Looking For: His forever home! He ended up in the shelter due to no fault of his own and he's eager to just have his own humans once again. Long sniffy walks, world exploration and all that good stuff that comes with being a well-loved dog - yes, please! Can you offer that in exchange for this loving boy's adoring gazes and loyal companionship? What My Foster Says About Me: Oreo is a super sweet dog looking for some human companionship. He is shy at first, but as soon as he warms up to you--you'll know when he offers his paw--he'll be using those dreamy eyes and soft coat to get all the petting and affection he deserves. Give him a corner of the couch to nest in, and he'll be in heaven. He's tolerant of other dogs as long as they give him just a little space, and is likely to warm up to a resident dog as long as introductions go slow. He hasn't been fully tested with cats, but is co-existing in separate parts of a house just fine and does not seem cat aggressive. He takes loud noises like fireworks and yappy dogs in stride--this is a zen dog in the making. He's taken to house-life well and hasn't shown any destructive tendencies and hasn't had any accidents. Though he tolerates crating just fine, he'd prefer laying on a mat in a sunny spot while his humans hang out nearby. He'd love some grass or woods on his daily walks. He takes direction well and is ripe for some training. Oreo is ready to bring warmth and joy to a loving home!

Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet, sweet girl ISO forever! JENNIE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Jennie and other great adoptable dogs this Saturday (1/11) from 12-2 pm at the Petco in Annandale, VA (7434 Little River Turnpike, Annandale, VA 22003)!   Name:  Jennie      Best Guess for Breed:  Red heeler/cattle dog mix Best Guess for Age:   5.5 years as of January 2025       Gender:   Female Approximate Weight: 36 lbs Gets Along With: Jennie is amazing with other dogs. She has lived with a cat - and a guinea pig! We haven't seen her with kids but she can be tested.  Currently Living At: DC area foster home All about Jennie: Jennie is one of those amazing, special dogs that make you think 'we don't deserve dogs.' She loves her fosters almost beyond belief, and her fosters love her the same way. This is what one of her two fosters says about her: 'When I go out for a couple of hours, she is so excited to see me when I come home and will do baby whines in that 'I am so excited you're back!' way. She is obsessed with licking hands, disinterested in toys, loves snuffle mats and sleeps in the funniest positions & snores the most adorable snore ever. She is perfect in the home. I live in an apartment and I've never heard her bark. She hasn't had an accident in the home. Her recall is fantastic in off leash grassy areas whether I say Jennie or J. Basically she is my perfect work from home partner and is always down to do whatever I do. She lives half of the time with a cat and the other half with my guinea pig, Nibbles, who she likes to watch eat hay & veggies - she is fabulous with both AND with other dogs. At adoption event, she radiates a magnetic and nurturing energy. Shy dogs at those events approach her and want to lay with her on her bed, and she happily shares it with them.'   And this is what the other foster says: 'Sweet, sweet Jennie despite everything she has been through is the sweetest dog we’ve ever cared for. She looks at you with these sweet, innocent puppy dog eyes that melt your soul. She deserves nothing more than a soft girl life, filled with endless love, blankets, and healthy treats. She’s settles into her crate effortlessly, gets along with all dogs (also loves our cat), and is the goodest girl! She’s amazing on leash and is very responsive to any redirections you may give. All she wants to do is please you and be your loving companion, with hopes you’ll love her in return.'   Her fosters can't say enough good things about her. And why does she make us think 'we don't deserve dogs?' The way she is so sweet, so loving, so tender despite what she went through. She landed in a far southern Texas shelter with an awful injury to her leg/paw, and the leg had to be amputated. She's still rebuilding strength and stamina from that. She was also heartworm positive and had to go through treatment.    Jennie deserves all the best. She'd love a home where she can get to enjoy running around in the grass (hard surfaces can be tough for her). She isn't a typical heeler mix (yes, we've seen the jokes about how heelers are the trailer and beer version of the Belgian Malinois) - she has a more gentle energy. Most of all, she would love a home where her humans recognize how special she is and give her what she needs to live her best life in exchange for endless love and adoration and loyalty.   If you think Jennie is exactly what you are looking for - come meet her!  Special Adoption Considerations: Jennie is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs.  All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place.

This precious girl came from one of the worst hoarding situations that we have ever dealt with. there were over 100 dogs on the property, none of them spayed or neutered. Finally, the authorities went in and they managed to get ALL of the dogs out of there. Filthy dirty situation, sick puppies, you name it. We choose to take Blossom home to our rescue because her eyes were begging us for love and attention. She was very pregnant and two weeks after arriving, she gave birth to 7 heathy puppies! Every single puppy was different, every singe puppy had a different daddy! We think that Blossom had never been paid any attention to because she was so shy. Once we weaned her babies we took her out of the nursery and into the house where she just blossomed! That's how she got her name! Her puppies have long since been adopted and now it's her turn. We actually did a DNA on her and it came back with 4 different breeds, which we kind of figured from the beginning. Australian Cattle Dog, Labrador Retriever, Pit Bull, Boxer. Yes, she is truly a "Mutt!: She is extremely smart and will do anything for a treat. I want her to have a nice fenced yard with lots of room to run. Cattle dogs are working dogs and they need lots of exercise! She is spayed, crate trained, fully vaccinated, microchipped and house broken, truly a gem! Ready for immediate transport. ADOPTION FEE $400 PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION!

This handsome red heeler mix puppy is called Ernie and he and his brother Bert and their mom were found in a barn where they had been raised by their stray mother. Their mother was barely hanging on to life. The happy ending to her story is she is living with a wonderful family now and is loved and Ernie is looking for a wonderful family too raise him, love him, and bring his own special joy to. Ernie is a really delightful and well adjusted 6-month-old puppy that weighs 26 lb. He is a friendly little guy that enjoys meeting people and loves to chase a ball and bring it back to you. His innocence and love for life is contagious. He craves being with people that like him and speak kind words to him. He will crawl in your lap and be your best little buddy. His foster mom who raised he and his brother Bert says that he has the best temperament and personality. Recently this little guy went to a yoga class at the YMCA and had so much fun. It was a totally new and unique environment and he handled it with great poise and embraced all of the Zen vibes going on. Ernie is housebroken, crate trained, loves being around other cats and dogs alike and adores children. There isn't a living creature on this earth that he doesn't like. He is learning quite well,  how to walk on a leash and he rides in a car like a pro. He would be a great dog to take for hikes, long walks, outdoor events and adventures, and of course he would be a hit at any family reunions. Ernie is ready to call a family and their home his very own. If you are interested in making Ernie your perfect little sidekick in life, Please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@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.comJanuary 9, 2025, 11:31 am
