MENTOS NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!   Name:   Mentos        Best Guess for Breed:   Retriever mix - some lab in there!   Best Guess for Age:  2 months as of 5/31/25         SEX:  Male   Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!):   3 lbs 9 oz as of 5/19/25   Gets Along With:        Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs, cats and kids so long as they receive patience and proper training.   Currently Living at:  South Carolina shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here!   Special Adoption Considerations:       Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy.  Mentos is Looking For:   This cutie is one of a litter of six - Milky Way, M&M, Mounds, Mentos, Milk Duds, Mr. Goodbar - who have loved growing up together in their little candy factory! They've put on their big puppy pants and are ready to split up and strike out in search of their forever families. This is on their wish lists: Lots of snuggles and cuddles Lots of play time Making pup pals Going to puppy school to learn to be the bestest pups! Knowing they're safe and loved and under their own roofs for all their days Mentos has so many adoring gazes and kisses and so much love and loyalty to offer his humans! Is he the one for your home and your heart? What My Foster Says About Me: Coming once this puppy has spent some time in foster care! Puppy Vetting Requirements:   Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be “fully” vaccinated. It is the adopter’s responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog.      Due to this puppy’s young age, she/he has not yet been spayed or neutered.  As part of the adoption contract, it will be your responsibility, as the adopter, to ensure that this is done no later than September 31, 2025. There are NO EXCEPTIONS and NO EXTENSIONS to this date. A non-refundable spay/neuter deposit will be collected if you would like Lucky Dog to pay for this animal to be spayed/neutered at one of our low cost partner vets.   Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog!  TO ADOPT:       The adoption fee for this puppy is $485, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter.    If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online bit.ly/adoptaluckydog   Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption.
