Name: Nieves Best Guess for Breed: Husky mix Best Guess for Age: 5 years as of August 2026 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 36 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't 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 this video of Nieves: youtu.be/VajSk56p6vs. Special adoption considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think this pup would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure they can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes. Nieves is Looking For: His forever home! Nieves is a sato - a dog from Puerto Rico. He didn't have the easiest life before being rescued but has been nothing but happy and friendly and loving - he is so ready for his new chapter! He hasn't seen enough of the world - he's eager to get his own humans for sniffy walks and romps in parks and all the adventures his family can dream up. Making pup pals along the way would be great, as would going to dog school so he can show how super smart he is. Most of all, though, he wants to know where he belongs, to be safe and loved all his days. In exchange he promises so much love and loyalty. What do you say? Can you see this sweet guy by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: He’s a doll baby! His goofy personality is coming out more each day. He’s incredibly sweet, calm, chill, and confident. He also seems to have a bit of a happy-go-lucky personality, too, which is even more endearing knowing what he’s been through. He was such a gentleman when he got his first bath- we were both very impressed. He just wants endless head scratches and lots of food. We’re obsessed with his little face. I ended up crocheting a ball for him, so he could grab it with his jaw. He started playing with it immediately, which made me cry- which was a new record for me. I usually only start crying once they get adopted. He’s a special guy, that’s for sure. Heartworm information: Nieves is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but has been treated! 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. 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.
