About Lottie (Shepherd) in Washington

Lottie is waiting for you at Lucky Dog Animal Rescue in Washington, DC 20002. LOTTIE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Lottie Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd mix Best Guess for Age: 1.5 years old as of April 2026 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 48 lbs 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: SC shelter Special adoption considerations: Lottie 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! Lottie is Looking For: This young girl landed in the shelter due to no fault of her own but she's closed that chapter. Now she's ready for her new chapter and is looking for a loving home to call her own. Lottie would love going for nice long walks, playing with other dogs, and going to dog school to show you how super smart she is. Lots of treats, a warm cozy bed, and belly rubs would go a long way to making this girl happy. And she promises adoring gazes and loyal companionship in exchange. What do you say? Does that sound like a fair trade to you?What My Foster Says About Me: We will update once she has spent some time in a foster home. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT:
