Slim Shady

My story

Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Handsome brindle boy seeking fresh start and love! SLIM SHADY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Slim Shady      Best Guess for Breed:   Boston terrier and shepherd mix   Best Guess for Age:  3 years as of July 2025       SEX:  Male   Approximate Weight:   40 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:   South Carolina shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to come up here!   Special adoption considerations: Slim Shady 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. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!   Slim Shady is Looking For:  His forever home! And a name change, in that order. He thinks 'Slim Shady' sounds - well, shady. Once that's out of the way - long sniffy walks, romps in parks, and all those amazing adventures, please. And tops on his wish list? Knowing where he belongs, being a well loved member of a household. In exchange he promises all the adoring gazes he's saving up, all the love and loyalty in his heart. What do you say? Is this cutie the one you see by your side?   What My Foster Says About Me:  We will update this once he has spent some time in foster care.    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   !
