LUIGO NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!      Name:  Luigo            Best Guess for Breed:   Shepherd/heeler mix   Best Guess for Age:  1 year as of May 2026      SEX: Male   Estimated Weight:  45 pounds as of May 2026 Gets Along With:  Luigo gets along well with other dogs. He would do best in a home without cats or kids under the age of 12.    Currently Living at: DC area foster home.   Special Adoption Considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. Because Luigo is shy, he needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog to show him the ropes.  Luigo is Looking For:  Hiya! I'm Luigo! You can watch a video of my rescue in Puerto Rico here: https://youtube.com/shorts/uT4qlY7lLQw?feature=share.    I'm looking for my forever family! I can't wait to explore my new neighborhood on lots of walks, and I'd really like to make a bunch of doggie friends along the way. But most of all I want to know I'm safe and loved, where I belong. I have so many kisses and so much love and loyalty to give in return. What do you say? Do I get to go home with you? What My Foster Says About Me:  Luigo (Wee-Gee, is what we call him) is a sweetie who is full of energy and affection. He likes his crate and improving every day on the leash. He knows sit, stay and stop, and is making progress on “leave it/drop it.” He loves the dog park and gets along great with his fellow pups.  He just wants to play and run. Wee-Gee has done great meeting all humans, including kids, but he’s shy at first.  Once he gets to know you – which won’t take long – he’s a snuggler, curling up on your lap or with a dog buddy at night. If you’re a runner, you’ll have an eager companion.  Finally, Wee-Gee’s facial expressions and posture give off a royalty vibe that are hilarious and adorable. 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 and transport from the shelter.    If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online bit.ly/adoptaluckydog   Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption.
