My story

Please contact Mary Naughton (mary.naughton@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Adorable young girl looking for her forever home!RENA NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!   Come meet Rena and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (06/15) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Falls Church, VA (6100A Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)!   Name:    Rena        Best Guess for Breed:    Labrador and shepherd mix    Best Guess for Age:    1.5 years as of March 2025        Gender:   Female Approximate Weight:    37 lbs. as of March 2025  Gets Along With:    Other dogs! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living At: South Carolina shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get her freedom ride up here.  Special Adoption Considerations: Rena 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! Rena is Looking For: This young girl has emerged from puppyhood as a beautiful young lady looking for her forever home! She still has all that puppy love for play and cuddles. She's eager to explore her new world by the side of her new family. Romps in the park, sniffy walks, and all the adventure you can dream up - yes, please! She’d love to make pup and people pals along the way!  Most of all, she wants to know that she is safe and loved. In exchange, she promises adoring gazes, tail wags, and loyal companionship for all her days. Will you give Rena the life she dreams about and become her new best buddy? What My Foster Says About Me: Rena’s weekend foster has noted that Rena is very dog-friendly and loves going for walks. She played nicely with the resident’s foster dog and neighbor dog. Rena is agile, has a good appetite, and slept quietly through the night. Rena can be a little shy at first but is a sweetheart looking for a wonderful family to help her fully blossom!   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.
