Anastasia

My story

Please contact Emma Ohlsson (emma.ohlsson@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet girl ISO fresh start and love! ANASTASIA NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Anastastia       Best Guess for Breed:   Retriever and springer spaniel mix   Best Guess for Age:  3 years as of July 2025       SEX:   Female   Approximate Weight:    40 lbs   Gets Along With: Anastasia is very social around other dogs and has been good with the kids she met!  We haven't seen her with cats but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:   Puerto Rico shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here!   Special adoption considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think Anastasia would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure she can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes.   Anastasia is Looking For:  Bottom line: Her own humans to love and be loved by. This sweetie was found as a stray in Yauco, Puerto Rico in November 2024. She was originally supposed to be a TNR dog but when the rescue saw how friendly and loving she was, they changed gears and set a goal of getting her adopted. This is what the Puerto Rico rescue says about her: 'She is very sweet, loyal, easygoing, and happy. Anastasia's last foster described her as super loving, chill, loves looking out the window, being by your side, going for walks, she's a velcro dog 100% Anastasia is quiet, is up for anything, loves being with her person. She is social around other dogs and all humans'   Sounds like an all-around great dog to us! If that's what you're looking for, let us know!   What My DC Area Foster Says About Me:   We will update this once she has arrived in the DC area and spent some time in foster care.    Heartworm information: Anastasia is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but has been treated! 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. Anastasia has completed the treatment and the activity restriction phase.    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   !
