me: Pennie Best Guess for Breed: Retriever and hound mix Best Guess for Age: 4.5 years as of May 2025 Gender: Female Approximate Weight: 42 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: DC area foster home What Pennie's Foster Says About Her: Hi, I'm Pennie, and here are the things you should know about me: - I am just the sweetest, prettiest, and very smart little girl, I am very food motivated to learn whatever you ask me to do. I am working on sitting, stay, paw, and down right now and learning very fast! - I am doing very well with potty training and also crate training. I sleep through the night in my crate and hang there during the day, and if you need to leave, I stay in a crate without whining or barking. - I am still learning to be consistent with loose leash walking. But that's because I love to run! If you like to run, I would loooooooove to be your running buddy, or help you reach your daily goal of 10 000 steps. Let's explore together! - I don't get on furniture, and didn't really like the soft comfy bed I was given. But if you want to convince me otherwise, remember I am very treat motivated. - I am friendly with all the people and dogs, and don't want to miss any action around me. If all those sound good for you, come meet me and see if we can become best friends! Pennie is Looking For: Her forever family! This sweetie landed in the shelter through no fault of her own and she is eagerly looking forward to once again having her own humans. Sniffy walks (that hound nose!), all the adventures her family can dream up, quality kibble, and a cushy dog bed - yes, please! But at the top of her wish list - well, she's an experienced dog well out of the puppy yips and knows what's most important in life: Being safe and loved and under her own roof. Heartworm Information: Pennie was heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is 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. All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care. After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months. Pennie has completed the treatment and activity restriction phase, and is awaiting her six-month follow up test. 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.
