About Allie (Shepherd) in Washington

Allie is waiting for you at Lucky Dog Animal Rescue in Washington, DC 20002. ALLIE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Allie and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (05/03) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Alexandria, VA (3351 Richmond Highway Alexandria, VA 22305)! Name: Allie Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd/Terrier Best Guess for Age: 1.5 years as of March 2026 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 30 lbs as of March 2026 Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: DC area foster home Special adoption considerations: Allie 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! Allie is Looking For: This young girl has had a hard start and all she is looking for is a warm, safe, loving home to call her own. Allie would love going for nice long walks, playing with other dogs, and learning how to be the goodest girl you've ever met. Lots of treats, a warm cozy bed, and belly rubs would go a long way to making this girl happy. What My Foster Says About Me: Coming soon! We will update this when she has spent time with her foster. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADO
