Tails

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!!!     Name:    Tails           Best Guess for Breed: Lab/Terrier Mix     Best Guess for Age:  9 months as of September 2025         SEX:   male   Estimated Weight (He still has a little more growing to do!):  39 pounds as of 9/7/2025   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:  Tails came to Lucky Dog as a tiny puppy alongside his brother—who’s since been adopted. Now, this sweet boy is still patiently waiting for his turn to find a home to call his own and create memories. Dog parks are Tails’ happy place! He absolutely loves romping around with other pups, chasing toys, and romping through the grass. After all the excitement, he’s more than happy to curl up for some cozy snuggle time with his people. So you might wonder—why is this fun-loving pup still searching for his forever family? Tails can be shy when meeting new people, but with a bit of patience and a kind heart, his sweet, silly personality begins to shine through. If you have a warm home, a welcoming resident dog, and a little extra love to give, Tails would be so grateful to meet you. All he needs is a chance to show what a truly special boy he is. What My Foster Says About Me: Tails is the perfect mix of playful energy and cozy companionship. Whether he’s zooming around the dog park or curled up beside us for a night of belly rubs and TV, he’s always ready for fun and the cuddles. His happy tail wags so hard it sets his whole butt into a joyful wiggle dance—and yes, it’s as cute as it sounds.   He’s got a tiny grandpa snore that'll melt your heart, and he’s a total pro at crate time—sleeping through the night and waking up ready for a day of adventure. Tails loves his time at the dog park with friends, exploring new places, and showing off his zoomies with his doggy friends. Treats (especially peanut butter Kongs and chew bones) are his love language, and he's learning fast thanks to them!   Tails  knows “sit,” “down,” “come,” and “crate,” and while he’s about 85% reliable, the other 15% is his signature brand of adorable independence. He is still working on his leash manners bit—he’s just so excited to see the world that sometimes his feet move faster than his brain!   Tails has been waiting so patiently for the right family—a home where he can take his time to warm up to people, and have a friendly dog buddy to show him the ropes and help him feel at home.
