Notes from Lucky Dog Animal Rescue

MJ NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: MJ Best Guess for Breed: Terrier/Lab

Best Guess for Age: 2 years as of Sept. 2026 SEX: Female

Approximate Weight: 52.8lbs

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: South Carolina shelter; needs DC area foster or forever home!

Special adoption considerations: MJ is a truly Lucky Dog. {He/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! MJ is Looking For: Some "me" time and pampering! This sweet lady has raised her two puppies and now she's ready for some love and pampering! She'd love lots of belly rubs and snuggles, soft, cozy places to snooze, and toys to play with it. Most of all, though, she wants her very own family to love and be loved by!

What My Foster Says About Me: Coming soon!

If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog

What happens next

  1. Contact Lucky Dog Animal Rescue using the button. AdoptNearby does not take applications.
  2. They will send you their application or ask a few questions about your home.
  3. Most organizations arrange a meet, sometimes a home visit, then a small adoption fee that usually covers spay or neuter and vaccines. That fee is paid to Lucky Dog Animal Rescue, never to AdoptNearby.
  4. Read the dogs care guide so you arrive prepared.
