Hello, my name is Digger and I'm a 6 month old, 30 pound, male, lab puppy. My brother, Denny, and I are looking for our forever homes. We really don't like it in the shelter, it's loud and cold and scary. We're really excited to come to DC and hopefully find someone to love us, but we're kind of nervous, too. Everything is so big and new and different! We're looking for someone to cuddle us close and tell us everything will be okay. Are you that person?

I've heard a little about forever homes from some of the bigger dogs in the shelter. They sound like a dream come true! I've heard you sometimes get your very own little bed and some toys to share and even some yummy treats. But I'm most looking forward to the cuddles and kisses and love. I just can't wait for a family or person of my own to love with my whole puppy heart!

I'm pretty little still, so I'll need some help learning the ropes. I can do it though, I'm really smart and I just want to make you happy and proud of me. I think puppy kindergarten at an obedience school sounds really great. I like nice long walks and trips to the dog park, too, if it's not too much to ask. Do you think you can help me navigate this great big new world?

Due to a puppy's need for attention and frequent bathroom excursions, we do not adopt dogs under 5 months of age to homes where no one is home during the day. This means no 9-5ers, unless you commit to hiring a dog walker to come multiple times a day.

Like most puppies, Digger will need to work on his housetraining. Digger will also need to go to obedience school so he can grow into a well-socialized dog!

The adoption fee for this dog is $400, which includes the cost of transport from the shelter and routine vetting, including heart worm treatment, vaccinations and spay/neuter. If you are interested in adopting, please download our Adoption Questionnaire  and email it to Kristen at kristenn@luckydoganimalrescue.org.

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.
