Gilligan

My story

Please contact Lowell Nelson (lowelln@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.young boy ready to play! GILLIGAN NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Gilligan and other great adoptable dogs this Saturday (7/12) from 12-2 pm at the Petco in Bailey's Crossroads (5825 Leesburg Pike, Bailey's Crossroads, VA 22041)!   Name:  Gilligan     Best Guess for Breed:   Terrier and lab mix    Best Guess for Age:  1.5 years as of February 2025       SEX:  Male   Approximate Weight:  47 lbs   Gets Along With:  Other dogs!  Gilligan likes to play with cats and may chase, so would be best with dog-savvy cats!    Currently Living at:   DC foster home.   Gilligan is Looking For:  This sweetie has been lucky once already! He and his buddy Gingersnap were stray and found by the right person - someone who took them in and committed to getting them into their own homes. They both were heartworm positive, and we at Lucky Dog took care of their treatment. He's done with treatment and is now eager to have his own humans for long sniffy walks and all the adventures they can dream up. He'd love to make pup and people pals along the way. And quality kibble, cushy dog bed, chew dog toys - yes, please, to all those. But above all he wants to be safe and loved, to know where he belongs - and upon whom to bestow all those happy tail wags, to whom to pledge loyal companionship. Are you going to be the lucky recipient - and Gilligan's second lucky break too?What My DC Area Foster Says About Me:  He is sweet, affectionate, and playful! He loves belly rubs, playing fetch, and long sniffy walks. He walks great on a leash though does get excited when we see another dog, and he's also been great about going outside when needed (no accidents so far!). He's working on his crate training, and will settle down after some indignant yipping and whining. He's a bit shy when meeting new people but when he warms up to you he'll be your new best friend!   Special adoption considerations: Gilligan is a truly Lucky Dog! He tested positive for Heartworm disease 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. We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the adoption counseling process.     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!  Please visit us online at    www.luckydoganimalrescue.org   .    BE A FOSTER!!!    Fosters make it possible for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to save and care for homeless and abandoned dogs!  To learn about fostering, please contact    fostering@luckydoganimalrescue.org   !
