Description
Dog Breed: Shepherd / Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Please contact Caitlin Finn (caitlin.finnluckydoganimalrescue) for more information about this pet. Sweet girl looking for a fresh start! ALLIE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Allie Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd/Terrier Best Guess for Age: 1.5 years as of March 2026 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 30 lbs as of March 2026 Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: Shelter. This sweetie needs a DC area foster or adopter to make her way out of the shelter. Special adoption considerations: Allie is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left! Allie is Looking For: This young girl has had a hard start and all she is looking for is a warm, safe, loving home to call her own. Allie would love going for nice long walks, playing with other dogs, and learning how to be the goodest girl you've ever met. Lots of treats, a warm cozy bed, and belly rubs would go a long way to making this girl happy. What My Foster Says About Me: Coming soon! We will update this when she has spent time with her foster. 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.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
