Looking for that special someone!

SPENCER NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name:  SPENCER      Best Guess for Breed:  Lab mix   

Best Guess for Age:   5 years old as of December 2020       SEX:  male

Approximate Weight:  40 lbs

Gets Along With:  Other dogs. Spencer should not live with cats. 

Currently Living at:  DC area foster home

Special adoption considerations: Spencer is heartworm positive. 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.   Spencer is scheduled to have treatment as soon as possible so the recovery process can begin.  We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process.

In addition, Spencer has been with Lucky Dog for a while and has truly thrived in his most recent foster home. Spencer does best with a confident and experienced adopter who can provide structure to his days. He is extremely smart and would do best with someone who wants to continue the training his foster has begun. Spencer would do best in an adult only home as the activity and unpredictability of kids can stress him out. 

Spencer is Looking For: An experienced and committed adopter who will work with me on training from day one! I am very smart and love to learn tricks. I also love to chew my toys, bones, and even sticks. I need an adopter who is confident and can set clear boundaries. I am happiest when I know my routine of walks, meals, playtime, and, importantly, nap time! I like other dogs and do well in day care. I have been workin with my foster dad on how to greet other dogs properly on leash, and I'm really excelling! I'm a happy and relaxed boy in the home. I love to hang out and snuggle up on the couch.

What My Foster Says About Me: Spencer is affectionate and really smart. He loves his toys and loves to run around in the back yard. He loves to play fetch with his favorite toy -- a squeaky ball. Spencer is a chewer and will need lots of toys that he is allowed to chew on to his heart's content! He is working on crate training. We are also working on other training, and he has mastered "sit." We are working on "stay" and using treats and lots of praise! 

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 HERE.

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.
