Agnes Labrador Retriever & Retriever Mix Washington, DC

Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet shy girl seeking love and safety! AGNES NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!
Name: Agnes Best Guess for Breed: Lab mix
Best Guess for Age: 4 years as of March 2025 Gender: Female
Approximate Weight: 34 lbs
Gets Along With: Agnes gets along well with other dogs and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog because she is shy. We haven't seen her with kids or cats but are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters.
Currently Living At: Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to come up here after she completes heartworm treatment.
Special Adoption Considerations: Agnes is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs. All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care. After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months. We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!
Agnes is Looking For: Her forever home! Agnes hasn't seen nearly enough of the world yet and would love to trot through it with all the confidence of a well-loved dog. Right now, she's a little shy, so she needs extra patient and loving humans who will introduce her to new environments and experiences at her pace, and a welcoming resident dog who will show her how to dog. Training will help her build her braves as well.
Most of all, she wants to be safe and loved and under her own roof. She has so many adoring gazes, so many tail wags, and loyal companionship to offer in return. What do you say? Is Agnes the one for your home and your heart?
What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once she has arrived in the DC area and spent some time with her foster.
Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
