Critter Details

small sweetie seeking fresh start and love! WIZ NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:   Wiz       Best Guess for Breed:  Min pin and chihuahua mix   Best Guess for Age:  4 years as of July 2025       SEX:   Male   Approximate Weight:   13 lbs 6 oz   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:  South Carolina shelter – needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here!   Special adoption considerations: Wiz is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator – the address is at lower left!   Wiz is Looking For:  His forever home! Through no fault of his own, this sweetie landed in the shelter. He’s eager to once again have his own humans for long sniffy walks and all the adventures they can dream up. He’d love to make pup and people pals along the way. Quality kibble, cushy dog bed, chew dog toys – yes, please, to all those.  But – he’s out of the puppy yips and knows what’s important. Above all he wants to be safe and loved, to know where he belongs – and upon whom to bestow all those happy tail wags, to whom to pledge loyal companionship. Is that going to be you? Is he the one you see by your side?  What My Foster Says About Me:   We will update this once he has spent some time in foster care.   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 $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.  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.   Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!  Please visit us online at    www.luckydoganimalrescue.org   .    BE A FOSTER!!!    Fosters make it possible for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to save and care for homeless and abandoned dogs!  To learn about fostering, please contact    fostering@luckydoganimalrescue.org   !
