Riggins

My story

Please contact Jodi Rosenberg (jodi.rosenberg@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.baby boy ready to play! RIGGINS NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!    Name:   Riggins         Best Guess for Breed: Lab and terrier mix    Best Guess for Age:  4 months as of June 2025          SEX:   Male   Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!):   26.7 lbs as of 6/15/25   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:    DC area foster home   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.  Riggins is Looking For:  Hi there! I'm Riggins. My brother Roo and I had a great time growing up with our mama Kanga, but now we're ready to split up and go off in search of our own human families. This is what I'm looking for: Play time! Snuggles! More play time! World exploration! I'd also like to go to puppy school so I can show how super smart I am, and make lots of pup pals. But most of all, I want to grow up knowing where I belong, who my family is. I mean, I have so many adoring gazes and tail wags and so much love and loyalty to give, and I need to know who gets all that. Are you the one? What My Foster Says About Me: Riggins loves human attention so much that he doesn't mind being the last of his litter to find a home. He sleeps through the night, is working hard on his potty training, and loves walks and toys. He is dog friendly, curious, and confident—he happily goes up and down stairs and loves to hop over rocks and snuffle in bushes. He's a smart and food-motivated guy; he sits well and is quickly learning to sit and wait when his leash goes on or it's time for dinner. He likes to chew and crunch; this health icon has tried and enjoyed carrot sticks, cucumber, green beans, and bell pepper. He'll be so much fun to train and will reward you with snuggles and looks of adoration.    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.     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. 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       .
