Lacey

My story

Please contact Kady Hammer (KadyH@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Loving, Loyal German Shepherd with Incredible Bunny Ears!LACEY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!! Name:   Lacey       Best Guess for Breed:  Shepherd and german shepherd mix Best Guess for Age:  4.5 years as of January 2025   Gender: Female Approximate Weight:  70 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen her with kids but she can be tested. Due to her high prey drive, Lacey should not go to a home with cats. Currently Living At: DC area foster home  Check out this video of Lacey with her fosters: https://youtu.be/oz5Hnz8Ay9g. All about Lacey: You look at Lacey and think to yourself: Now this is a dog!  She is a confident, loving dog who loves her humans beyond belief and is in her element with dogs to play and wrestle with.  She adores people, giving them full-body hugs and showering them with kisses. Want a 70-pound lap dog? She's totally up for it! And she's good in the home. She sleeps quietly overnight in her crate and eats in there. She has learned Sit, Down and Paw, and is eager to learn new things - she likes making her humans happy. As her foster puts it, 'A more grateful dog to her humans does not exist.'  Her foster loves watching Lacey play with her resident dogs. Forget what the vet records say her age is - Lacey has the energy and stamina of a younger dog. She plays nonstop when given the chance. See the videos in this bio - she enjoys burning off all that awesome energy playing with other pups, that tail always up and happily waving. And when Lacey met a bunch of young puppies at a puppy party, she responded with play bowing and dancing around them.  Lacey is an all-around great dog for anyone who wants a big, happy, confident, active dog. She will joyfully accompany you on all your adventures (and she is great in the car!). If you need a break, she'll just as happily go play with the other big, happy, confident dogs. She's just got that special dog spirit and makes a house a home.  Medical:  Lacey  is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs.  All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care.  After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months. We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!  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.
