Please contact Lowell Nelson (lowelln@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.young boy seeking fresh start and love! TRUFFLE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Truffle         Best Guess for Breed: Lab and shepherd mix Best Guess for Age:   8 months as of February 2026      SEX:   Male   Approximate Weight:   39 lbs as of 2/10/26; he is still growing.   Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven’t seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:  DC area foster home   Truffle is Looking For:  His forever home! This young pup is part of a litter of cuties – Track, Trussel, Truffle, Tator and Trix – who have enjoyed growing up together but are now ready to split up and get their own homes. He hasn’t seen enough of the world yet, and is eagerly looking forward to having his own humans for sniffy walks and all the adventures they can dream up. And dog school so he can show how super smart he is. And then pets and cuddles and belly scritches at the end of a fun day together. And he’ll want quality kibble and a cushy dog bed. Most of all, though, he wants to know he’s safe and loved. In exchange he promises all the adoring gazes and happy tail wags he’s storing up, and loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Is Truffle the one you see by your side?What My Foster Says About Me:   Truffle is an awesome puppy and a total love bug. She absolutely loves everyone she meets and has been living with three young kids — she’s great with them and adores people of all ages.  She’s currently learning leash manners and is doing really well — no pulling or tugging. Surprisingly, she isn’t interested in rabbits or squirrels (at least not yet!) and is happiest just strolling through the neighborhood. She seems unbothered by other dogs but is definitely more interested in meeting new people.   Truffle is still working on potty training and will thrive in a home where someone is around during the day to help guide her. She’s a puppy, so she may occasionally grab a shoe or stray item, but she happily drops it — she truly just wants to play.  She’ll make an incredible family dog for someone ready for puppy fun and lots of love.   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.
