i and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (NOV 19) from 12-2 pm at the PetSmart in Gaithersburg (218 Kentlands Blvd, Gaithersburg, MD 20878)!!!!!! FIFI NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!! If you are viewing Fifi’s bio on Petfinder, please click below for more information. Name: Fifi Best guess as to breed: Shepherd mix Best guess as to age: 15 weeks as off 11/6/17 Approximate Weight: 21 lbs as of 11/6/17 Currently Living at: DC foster Special Adoption Considerations: Young puppy who will need LOTS of structure, exercise, frequent potty breaks, and socialization; commitment to neuter by 01/7/18. Check out this additional video of Fifi: https://youtu.be/SAiFpQDyLSU Hello, my name is Fifi and I'm a 15 week old, 21 pound, as of 11/6/17, female, shepherd mix puppy. My brothers and sisters and I are waiting patiently for our forever homes. Our foster home is great, but we'd love to have homes of our very own. We were really excited to come to DC and hopefully find someone to love us, but we're kind of nervous, too. Everything is so big and new and different! We're looking for someone to cuddle us close and tell us everything will be okay. Are you that person? Foster Mom Notes: Fifi is a sweet natured little girl who loves to run and play and chew toys and have fun with other dogs or her people. Her house training is coming along nicely, though she does have to go outside often as she is still very young. But if you take her out often she will try and hold it. She can make it all night now! Fifi will sit pretty for a treat. If you want a snuggle friend to cuddle with for a nap she's your girl! She also loves squeaky toys and lying on the grass in the sun. Fifi has beautiful markings to match her lovely disposition. She will make a great family member for most homes. Fifi is waiting to come home, for forever. If you choose her she will reward you with laughs, butt wiggles and unlimited unconditional love. We've heard a little about forever homes from some of the bigger dogs in the shelter. They sound like a dream come true! We've heard you sometimes get your very own little bed and some toys to share and even some yummy treats. But we're most looking forward to the cuddles and kisses and love. We just can't wait for a family or person of our own to love with our whole puppy hearts! We're pretty little still, so we'll need some help learning the ropes. We can do it though, we're really smart and we just want to make you happy and proud of us. We think puppy kindergarten at an obedience school sounds really great. We think we'd like nice long walks and trips to the dog park, too, if it's not too much to ask. Do you think you can help us navigate this great big new world? 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. Fifi 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, Fifi 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 01/7/18. Like most puppies, Fifi 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 transport from the shelter and routine vetting and transport from the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, please download our Adoption Questionnaire and email it to Kristen at kristenn@luckydoganimalrescue.org. 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.

  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.
