PETRA NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Petra        Best Guess for Breed: German Shepherd mix   Best Guess for Age:  5 years as of August 2026        SEX:   female   Approximate Weight:   66lbs as of Sep 2026   Gets Along With: Other dogs! Petra should go to a home without cats. We haven't seen her with kids, but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at: DC area foster   Special adoption considerations: Petra is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! 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. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!   Petra is Looking For:    Her forever home! This happy girl is looking ahead to her new chapter, the one where she once again has her own humans for sniffy walks and romps in parks and all the adventures they can dream up. Making pup pals along the way would be great too. Oh and good dog food and cozy resting places!    What My Foster Says About Me:   Petra is doing great! She walks very nicely on a leash and knows sit and paw. She is making great progress with crate training (goes in willingly) and house training. She also does well in the car!  Petra enjoys spending time at the dog park and would love an active family that helps her get her energy out!    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.
