Silva

My story

Please contact Maddy Karon (maddyk@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.pretty girl seeking forever! SILVA NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Silva        Best Guess for Breed:  Pit bull terrier mix   Best Guess for Age:   3 years as of May 2025      SEX:  Female   Approximate Weight:  60 lbs   Gets Along With: Silva loves playing with other dogs outside the home but has not shared her home with dogs before - she might be best as the only dog in the home. We haven't seen her with cats but can discuss integration techniques with potential adopters. We do not recommend her for a home with children.    Currently Living at:   DC area home   Special adoption considerations: Silva is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but has already been treated! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Silva has already been treated and is well past the activity restriction period.    About Silva:Silva came to Lucky Dog as a young dog and was quickly adopted. She has been in a loving home for over two years now. Through no fault of anyone, she now needs a new home.   In the home, she's a good girl - her humans didn't need to crate her and she's been free roam. Out of the home, she loves trips to the dog park, loves playing with other dogs.   Silva is an incredibly loving pup who bonds intensely with her humans - she wants nothing more than to once again have her own family, to know where she belongs.
