Princessa is Looking For: Her forever family! This sweet girl would love a chance to show her new family she is ready to love and be loved. She'd love to go on lots of long walks and make new friends at the dog park, and of course snuggle with her humans in between playtimes. A cozy bed, yummy treats, and some quality kibble would also put this girl over the moon!
What My Foster Says About Me: Princessa is doing really well. She's very confident, walks beautifully on a leash, and seems to be a very chill, happy-go-lucky dog. She seeks human interaction and affection, and gets along with our resident dog. She's a bona fide cuddle bug, and not shy to give many smooches; she's just super, super sweet. She also has the best ears.
Heartworm Information: Princessa is a truly Lucky Dog. She 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!
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.
