More about the shelter
Lucky Dog Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing homeless and abandoned animals, primarily dogs from high-kill shelters and owners who can no longer care for them. By working with committed volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians, trainers, and boarding facilities, we are able to rescue hundreds of animals every year, provide them with loving temporary care, and find them well-matched, carefully screened forever homes. We also serve as a resource to our community and all pet owners by providing education and information on responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and good nutrition.

Name: Misty Best Guess for Breed: Feist and retriever mix
Best Guess for Age: 1 year as of March 2025 SEX: Female
Approximate Weight: 25 lbs
Gets Along With: Misty does well with other dogs! We haven't seen her with kids or cats but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!
Currently Living at: DC area foster home
Special adoption considerations: Misty can be a shy gal, especially in bustling places like the city. She probably didn't have much exposure to busier urban settings before she arrived in the DC area, and having a confident resident dog along on walks will help. She does very well in quieter environments though!
All about Misty: This super sweet girl landed in the shelter through no fault of her own. She was pretty confused and shy. Then she came up to the DC area and once in foster care, showed who she really is! This is what her foster has to say about her:
"Misty is a bundle of pure furry joy! She has not met a person or a toy that she doesn’t adore. On our walks, when she sees a person approaching from a distance, she waits with eager anticipation for them to come near, then greets them with the enthusiasm of seeing an old friend. She is an easy and grateful house guest. She plays independently with her toys, but also loves it when you join in the fun. She has been doing fabulous with house and crate training, and she is respectful of my senior dog. She’s an absolute delight to host, and her adopter will be very lucky to have her!"
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 $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter. 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.
