ther, great adoptable dogs this Sun. (Jan. 29) from 12-2 pm at the Pentagon Row Unleashed (1101 South Joyce St, Arlington, VA 22202)*** RITA NEEDS A FOSTER OR A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Rita Breed: Lab Mix Approximate Age: 14 weeks as of 1/16/17 SEX: female Approximate Weight: 20 lb as of 1/16/17 Has Lived With: other dogs Currently Living at: A scary shelter in rural South Carolina. Rita can't wait to come to DC and meet her forever family! Special adoption considerations: Young puppy, frequent potty breaks and socialization needed, commitment to spay by 6 months. Rita is a super sweet little puppy girl who is very excited about finding her forever family! Rita loves dogs, but has not been tested around cats or kids yet. If you have either, let us know and we can find out more! Rita is a gentle little soul who loves to play, nap and is an amazing cuddler! As she grows she will need longer walks and lots of puppy training and socialization to help her grow into a confident young lady! Foster Update: Rita is one of the BEST foster puppies I have ever had and I have had a lot!! She's sweet, calm, playful, fun, loving and full of puppy kisses and tail wags. She sleeps through the night and loves to cuddle. Rita is a wonderful labby puppy and will be a great addition to any family! Due to a puppy's need for attention and frequent bathroom excursions, we do not adopt dogs under 5 months of age to homes where no one is home during the day. This means no 9-5ers, unless you commit to hiring a dog walker to come multiple times a day. Rita is not old enough to have had all of her vaccines. It will be your responsibility, as the adopter, to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, she is at greater risk for illness than an adult dog. Due to her young age, Rita has not yet been spayed. As part of the adoption contract, it will be your responsibility, as the adopter, to ensure that this is done no later than 4/1/17. We will require proof of spay. Like most puppies, Rita will need to work on her housetraining. She will also need to go to obedience school so she can grow into a well-socialized dog! The adoption fee for this dog is $400, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter. * If you are interested in adopting, please FIRST download our Adoption Questionnaire and email it to Ali at alip@luckydoganimalrescue.org!

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
