Pennie

My story

Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet girl ISO fresh start and love!PENNIE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Pennie      Best Guess for Breed: Retriever and hound mix  Best Guess for Age:  4.5 years as of May 2025       Gender: Female Approximate Weight: 42 lbs Gets Along With:  Other dogs!  We haven't seen her with cats or kids 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: Pennie 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! Pennie is Looking For: Her forever family! This sweetie landed in the shelter through no fault of her own and she is eagerly looking forward to once again having her own humans. Sniffy walks (that hound nose!), all the adventures her family can dream up, quality kibble, and a cushy dog bed - yes, please! But at the top of her wish list - well, she's an experienced dog well out of the puppy yips and knows what's most important in life: Being safe and loved and under her own roof. She has so many adoring gazes, so much love and loyalty to offer. What do you say? Is she the one for your home and your heart?   What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once she has arrived in the DC area and spent some time with her 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.  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.  Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!
