TAILS NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!
Name: Tails Best Guess for Breed: Lab/Terrier Mix
Best Guess for Age: 6 months as of July 2025 SEX: male
Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!): 30 pounds as of 6/29/2025
Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or younger kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!
Currently Living at: D.C. area foster home
Special Adoption Considerations: Because Tails is shy, he needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog who will show him the ropes.
Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy.
Tails is Looking For: Hiya! I'm Tails! Me and my littermate, Tommy have loved our time in the puppy pile, but we are each ready to pack our bags and find our very own forever home! I'm looking for a home that will let me play with toys and get my puppy zoomies out and give me snuggles in between playtimes. When I'm a little older, I can't wait to explore my new neighborhood on lots of walks, and I'd really like to make a bunch of doggie friends along the way. Oh, and I should probably take a puppy obedience class or two so I can show you how smart I am. What do you say? Do you have room in your heart for me?
What My Foster Says About Me: Tails is the perfect blend of goof, adventurer and snuggle bug. He has an adorable snore like a tiny grandpa, and a tail that wags so hard it sends his whole butt into a happy dance! He’s a pro at curling up next to you for a cozy evening of TV time and belly rubs. He has been mastering his crate-training by going into his crate, sleeping through the night like a champ and always being ready to start each day for adventure. He loves his walks, exploring new places, and showing off his zooms at the dog park, and will come back quickly—especially if treats are involved! Peanut butter Kongs and chew bones are his absolute favorite.
Tails is a smart, eager pup who knows “sit,” “down,” “come,” and “crate,” and he follows through about 85% of the time (the other 15% is reserved for being adorably selective). He’s working on his leash skills and can sometimes walk like he’s auditioning for a sled team, but with a little more training, he'll be consistently strolling smoothly like a pro. Tails has been waiting so patiently for his forever family, and he’s ready to bring endless butt wiggles, laughs, and love to a home of his own.
Puppy Vetting Requirements: Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be “fully” vaccinated. It is the adopter’s responsibility 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, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog.
Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog!
TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this puppy is $485, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online bit.ly/adoptaluckydog
