My story

Please contact Ann Marie Burns (AnnMarieB@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Sweetest pup looking for his forever family! TAILS NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!   Come meet tails and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (7/13) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Rockville (5154 Nicholson Ln, Kensington, MD 20895)!       Name:    Tails           Best Guess for Breed: Lab/Terrier Mix     Best Guess for Age:   7 months as of July 2025         SEX:   male   Estimated Weight (He still has some growing to do!):  30 pounds as of 6/29/2025   Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or younger kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at: D.C. area foster home   Special Adoption Considerations: Because Tails is shy, he needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog who will show him the ropes. Tails is Looking For:  Hiya! I'm Tails! I came to Lucky Dog as a puppy, with my brother, who has since been adopted . I'm still looking for a home that will let me play with toys and get my  zoomies out and give me snuggles in between playtimes. When I'm a little older, I can't wait to explore my new neighborhood on lots of walks, and I'd really like to make a bunch of doggie friends along the way. Oh, and I should probably take a  obedience class or two so I can show you how smart I am. What do you say? Do you have room in your heart for me?   What My Foster Says About Me: Tails is the perfect blend of goof, adventurer and snuggle bug. He has an adorable snore like a tiny grandpa, and a tail that wags so hard it sends his whole butt into a happy dance! He’s a pro at curling up next to you for a cozy evening of TV time and belly rubs. He has been mastering his crate-training by going into his crate, sleeping through the night like a champ and always being ready to start each day for adventure. He loves his walks, exploring new places, and showing off his zooms at the dog park, and will come back quickly—especially if treats are involved! Peanut butter Kongs and chew bones are his absolute favorite.    Tails is a smart, eager pup who knows “sit,” “down,” “come,” and “crate,” and he follows through about 85% of the time (the other 15% is reserved for being adorably selective). He’s working on his leash skills and can sometimes walk like he’s auditioning for a sled team, but with a little more training, he'll be consistently strolling smoothly like a pro. Tails has been waiting so patiently for his forever family, and he’s ready to bring endless butt wiggles, laughs, and love to a home of his own.   TO ADOPT:       The adoption fee for this dog is $460, 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. 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 fostering@luckydoganimalrescue.org! BE A SPONSOR!!!!       Sponsors help Lucky Dog support the many dogs we save. To learn more about sponsorship, please contact       info@luckydoganimalrescue.org       .   &#226&#128&#139July 15, 2025, 9:44 am
