eous ears! PICASSO NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!! Come meet Picasso and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (06/22) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Silver Spring, MD (12020 Cherry Hill Road, Silver Spring, MD 20904)! Name: Picasso Best Guess for Breed: Lab and terrier mix Best Guess for Age: 2 years as of January 2025 Gender: Male Approximate Weight: 55 lbs Gets Along With: Picasso does well with other dogs and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog because he is a bit shy. We have not seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living At: DC area foster home. Check out these videos of Picasso: youtu.be/tLY9Pd8muEE and youtu.be/kXkfxT3b1Qc. What My Foster Says About Me: Picasso is such a sweetheart and loves nothing more than to hang out with his dog friends or curl up with his foster mom. He is still a little shy but he has really come far and now greets strangers at the park to ask for treats or pets. Our dogs give him so much additional confidence and he's becoming quite the personality. He can still get startled by sudden noises and unexpected movements near him but it's definitely improved. And he's gained much needed weight and is such a handsome boy. He is a dream in the house, with nice manners and a gentle personality. At the dog park, he loves chasing his friends and being chased with a tennis ball in his mouth. His frisky personality makes everyone smile and people regularly remark on how much he's come out of his shell. He sleeps through the night and has not had any accidents in the house, loves a car ride and walks well on leash. He practices his superb couch potato skills every day. Picasso would thrive in a family willing to smother him in affection and provide a solid routine with lots of playtime. Picasso is Looking For: His forever home! He's eager to have his own humans for long sniffy walks, romps in the park, and all the adventures they can dream up - he's got all that awesome young-dog energy to burn off! Thing is, right now he hasn't seen enough of the world and can be pretty shy. He's hoping for extra patient and loving adopters who will help show him the world at his pace, and a welcoming resident dog who will show him how to dog. He also wants his new humans to know he's completely over all that cubism stuff. Soft rounded things now, please. A cushy dog bed! Better yet, a sofa that he can sink into while curled up against his human! Most of all, though, he wants to know he's safe and loved for all his days and will never again have to wield a paintbrush to earn his living. It's hard getting paint out of his coat! What do you say? Is Picasso the companion you have been seeking? Medical: Picasso was previously heartworm positive, but has gone through treatment and is healthy now! This Lucky Dog got extra lucky and was part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs. The treatment for him was successful and he now just takes the regular monthly preventatives. 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 .luckydoganimalrescue.

  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.
