Lucky Dog Animal Rescue

Lucky Dog Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing homeless and abandoned animals, primarily dogs from high-kill shelters and owners who can no longer care for them. By working with committed volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians, trainers, and boarding facilities, we are able to rescue hundreds of animals every year, provide them with loving temporary care, and find them well-matched, carefully screened forever homes. We also serve as a resource to our community and all pet owners by providing education and information on responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and good nutrition.

DIABLO NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:    Diablo      Best Guess for Breed:  Schipperke and chow mix   Best Guess for Age:  3.5 years as of June 2025     SEX:  Male   Approximate Weight:  23 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:    {FOSTER HOME OR SHELTER. If in shelter, please be sure to re-state a foster is needed.}   Special adoption considerations: Diablo is a truly Lucky Dog. He 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!   Diablo is Looking For:   Seriously, just LOOK at this little guy! The stubby legs, the fluffy face and body. This utterly adorable pup is not the devil or any relation to it. He's just a pup who landed in the shelter due to no fault of his own. He's closed that chapter and is oh so eager to once again have his own humans for sniffy walks (his nose IS awfully closer to the ground!) and all the adventures they can dream up. And snuggles at the end of a fun day together (and yeah, might want to brush out that coat too - he doesn't want any mats!). Quality kibble and a cushy bed round out his wish list but you know what he wants most of all? To know he's safe and loved and under his own roof. In exchange he promises love and loyalty - and always to make you smile just by looking at him.    What My Foster Says About Me:  We will update this once he has spent some time in foster care,   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    www.luckydoganimalrescue.org   .    BE A FOSTER!!!    Fosters make it possible for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to save and care for homeless and abandoned dogs!  To learn about fostering, please contact    [email protected]   !
