LUCY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:    Lucy        Best Guess for Breed:   Havanese mix      Best Guess for Age: 4 years as of May 2026        SEX:   Female   Approximate Weight:   20 lbs   Gets Along With:  Other dogs!  We haven't seen her 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 up here   Special adoption considerations: Lucy s 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!   Lucy is Looking For:    Her new chapter! Her previous one closed when she arrived into the shelter with a horribly embedded harness and had to be shaved down. She has firmly closed that one and is looking forward to being a well-loved pet who gets to go on sniffy walks and all the adventures her humans can dream up. And snuggles. And quality kibble and a cushy dog bed. And - daily brushing and regular professional grooming, please. Mats are very painful and Lucy deserves to never go through that again.    Most of all, she wants to know she's safe and loved. In exchange, she promises loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say? Does she have a spot in your home and your heart?   What My Foster Says About Me:   We will update this once she has spent tme in foster care.    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   !
