Worthy Dog Rescue

Worthy Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping dogs in distress, especially those living on chains, in pens, or in neglectful and abusive situations. Our mission is to provide a better life for these dogs, while working to address the root problems of animal overpopulation and improve animal welfare. We do this through community outreach and by supporting and educating dog owners in underserved communities, by sponsoring spay and neuter programs, and by rescuing and rehabilitating dogs in need.

Meet Lulu

Meet Lulu.  This adorable Shih Tzu mix puppy will be 9 weeks old this week and is growing like a weed! She’s already had her first vet visit and is thriving in her foster home, where she lives with two loving foster moms and several adult dogs to help guide and socialize her. Lulu is one lucky pup, born into a safe, nurturing environment where she’s learned important pack skills from her mom, her sister Lily, and now her extended canine family. She’s an especially affectionate and cuddly puppy who loves being held. Her foster mom, Carrie, describes her as a true people pleaser and says that Lulu is more of a follower than a leader. She finds comfort in human attention and guidance from her dog buddies. While she loves to explore, Lulu tends to stay close to people and within her comfort zone. She’s the first to initiate play and would thrive in a home with another confident, playful pup who can help her build confidence and show her the ropes. Lulu has been exposed to both young kids and dogs and has done wonderfully with both. She’s currently about 4 pounds, so we recommend a home with children 7 years and older for her safety. Carrie notes that while Lulu can be a little firecracker during playtime, she also knows how to settle down and is patient in her puppy pen in the mornings. Potty training is already underway, and crate training will begin this weekend. Lulu is coming to the DC metro area on June 28, and we’re excited to help her find her perfect match. We’re looking for an adopter with a flexible schedule who’s ready for all the fun and commitment that comes with raising a puppy. **Preference will be given to homes with a flexible schedule and a social pub buddy and playmate in the home.*** Apply today! BREED ESTIMATE: Shih Tzu  GENDER: Female APPROXIMATE WEIGHT:  4 lbs APPROXIMATE AGE: ~ 9 weeks old COAT TYPE:  long flowy coat, needs regular grooming ADOPTION FEE: $400 VET INFO: utd on shots, microchipped - NOT SPAYED LOCATION: Charlotte, NC   FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application. You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to https://foster.worthydog.org and fill out an application. Worthy Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue that primarily adopts to families in the DC Metro area.
