HOLIDAY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name:   Holiday     Best Guess for Breed:  Anatolian shepherd mix 

Best Guess for Age:  3 years as of May 2025     SEX:  Female

Approximate Weight: 49.6 lbs as of 5/2/25; she is significantly underweight at this point

Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!

Currently Living at:   Texas shelter right now; will make her way to Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus on 5/17 for heartworm treatment and then on to the DC area!

Special adoption considerations: Holiday is a truly Lucky Dog. Although she has tested positive for heartworms, treatment has been scheduled! 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 talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process. 

Holiday is Looking For:  Her forever home. This sweetie landed a shelter as far south in Texas as you can get, heartworm positive and significantly underweight. She's slammed the book shut on that chapter and has opened a new one - one where she has her own humans, a family who cares for her and loves her. One where she gets to go on sniffy walks and spend plenty of time outside and just enjoy life.

Going by her face and her body, she likely has some Anatolian shepherd in her along with something else. Let your Google-fu shine strong as you research Anatolian shepherds.That breed loves their family, their humans. Utterly loyal. Holiday has so much to offer her forever family. What do you say? Is Holiday the one for your home and your heart?

What My Foster Says About Me:  We will update this once she has spent time in foster care. 

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
