Wizard

My story

Please contact Chandler Jaffe (chandler.jaffe@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.handsome shepherd ISO fresh start and love! WIZARD NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Wizard       Best Guess for Breed:  German Shepherd mix   Best Guess for Age:  2 years as of May 2025       SEX:  Male   Approximate Weight: 73 lbs   Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:  DC area foster home.   Special adoption considerations: Wizard is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment.     Wizard has completed the treatment and activity restriction phase, and is ready to go!   Wizard is Looking For:   This boy is Wizard because he's enchanting. An all-around awesome dog. If you know German shepherds, you know they're smart, loyal (Velcro dogs!) and energetic. He's looking for humans who want a smart pup eager for training and tasks. Who will provide structure and intellectual and physical enrichment through world exploration and mental challenges. And most of all, who will show him he's loved and cherished.    What My Foster Says About Me:  Wizard is friendly, playful, and prefers to be right by your side. He settles quickly in the crate and the car and is friendly with new people. He is quickly learning commands and is very food motivated which will be great for training! He's also working on house training and is getting the hang of it quickly. Wizard does still have some young dog energy and will benefit from structure, training, and an active family!    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. 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   !
