Critter Details

Please contact Anna Colllins (anna.collins@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.young boy ready to play! PEPO NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Pepo        Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd and heeler mix Best Guess for Age:  10 months as of September 2024     SEX: Male   Approximate Weight:  48 lbs as of 9/7/23; likely has a bit more to grow.    Gets Along With:   Pepo is good with other dogs! We have tested him with some of the cats at the shelter and while he did not seem particularly interested in chasing or pouncing on the cat. While this is a positive sign that he could live with a cat, he has not done so to our knowledge. If you have cats in your home, we are happy to discuss with you how to best introduce a new pup to your pack!We haven’t seen him with kids but he can be tested.   Currently Living at:   DC area foster home. Special Adoption Considerations: After being rescued from the streets, he was very scared and shut down. However, he has been making great strides. We think Pepo would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure he can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to continue to build confidence.   Pepo is Looking For:   Hiya! I’m Pepo, and I came from Puerto Rico and am looking for my forever family. I’ve been told my humans are in the DC area, and I can’t wait to find them! I’m a young boy and have lots of energy for playing with you and going on all those adventures with you and all that good stuff you get from having me by your side! I’ll also help you test all those toys to see which are the best – ropes for tug? Balls for fetch? Plushies to squeak? Let’s try them all! Cuddles and happy tail wags when I see you are part of the package, natch. What do you say? Is that what you’re looking for?  What My Foster Says About Me: Meet Pepo, an adorable pup rescued from Puerto Rico’s streets and brought to the U.S. for a fresh start. Pepo loves to play, explore, and cuddle! Pepo is still learning the ropes of indoor life, but he is already showing his fun, silly, and smart personality. He loves trips to the dog park, where he is eager to learn new things. Pepo is gaining confidence daily, and with a little patience, he’s sure to become an amazing companion!    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.
