Critter Details

Please contact Nancy Anderson (nancya@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet puppy ISO forever home! PEPPERONI NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!     Name: Pepperoni           Best Guess for Breed:  Shepherd/lab mix   Best Guess for Age: 6 months as of July 2025          SEX: Female   Estimated Weight (puppies’ weights change quickly!):  27.2 pounds as of 7/6/25   Gets Along With: Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs, cats and kids so long as they receive patience and proper training.   Currently Living at: DC area foster home.    Special Adoption Considerations:   Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy.  Pepperoni is Looking For:   Hiya! I’m Pepperoni! Me and my littermates, Pizza, Prosciutto, Pan, and Pie have loved our time in the puppy pile and our mama Domino took great care of us, but we are each ready to pack our bags and find our very own forever home! I’m looking for a home that will let me play with toys and get my puppy zoomies out and give me snuggles in between playtimes. When I’m a little older, I can’t wait to explore my new neighborhood on lots of walks, and I’d really like to make a bunch of doggie friends along the way. Oh, and I should probably take a puppy obedience class or two so I can show you how smart I am. What do you say? Do you have room in your heart for me?   What My Foster Says About Me: Pepperoni is a very sweet little pup!  She wags her tail (and entire body) profusely when she’s happy, which is pretty often!  When I return from work she gets very excited and likes to be picked up koala-style to lick my face.  She enjoys playing with dog toys (especially Kongs) and chasing her brother Pizza around the house.  When she tires out, she likes to rest in the dog bed or in the sunny spot on the floor near the window.  She’s also very cuddly – she likes to wedge herself between me and the back of the couch to nap.  Pepperoni is also observant and likes to hang out on my balcony and observe what’s happening on the street below.  She can sit for treats and will come running to me when I call her name from another room.  She’s been to the dog park a few times – at first she was overwhelmed with all the bigger dogs greeting her, but she adjusted quickly and then had a lot of fun.  Pepperoni hangs out calmly in an expen with her brother Pizza when I leave the house.  At night she either sleeps in the expen with Pizza, or occasionally sleeps in the bed with me.  She loves all food and treats!  Pepperoni is just a great puppy who will make an awesome companion!!   Puppy Vetting Requirements: Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be “fully” vaccinated. It is the adopter’s responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog.         Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog!  TO ADOPT:       The adoption fee for this puppy is $485, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter.    If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online 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.   Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life! Please visit us online at        www.luckydoganimalrescue.org       .
