ACORN's Story

Meet Acorn <br/><br/>Your Loyal Adventure Partner! <br/><br/>Acorn is a 3-year-old neutered cattle dog mix with all the wonderful traits that make this breed so special. Rescued as a stray in West Virginia, Acorn has blossomed into a devoted, intelligent boy who is ready to find a home that understands and appreciates his working-dog heart.<br/><br/>True to his cattle dog roots, Acorn is a natural herder who thrives when he has purpose and structure in his day. He absolutely loves being outdoors — whether that means hikes, exploring a fenced yard, or engaging in activities that challenge his mind and body. After a day well spent, Acorn is more than happy to settle in and relax beside his people.<br/><br/>Acorn is very people-loving, though he can be a little shy when first meeting new friends. With patience and gentle reassurance, his affectionate and loyal personality shines through. He will do best with a confident handler who can help him feel safe and supported while navigating new environments.<br/><br/>Because of his herding instincts, Acorn would prefer a quieter home with children over 15 years old who can respect his space and understand his breed tendencies.<br/><br/>This handsome boy is dog friendly and has done well with most dogs he has met. One of his favorite things is hopping in the car with our volunteer Laura for hiking adventures — he’s an excellent travel buddy and always ready for the next outing.<br/><br/>Acorn is neutered and up to date on all appropriate vetting, and he’s ready to start his next chapter with a family that will give him the guidance, activity, and love he deserves.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a smart, loyal companion who will happily join you on adventures and then curl up after a job well done, Acorn may be your perfect match.<br/><br/>Apply to meet Acorn and give this deserving boy the forever home he’s been waiting for.<br/><br/>If you would like to meet Acorn please apply on our website at luckydogrefuge.com or below at this direct link and we will reach out to you to schedule a meet and greet! <br/><br/>https://www.luckydogrefuge.com/adoption-application.html

Lucky Dog Refuge's Adoption Policy
Generally, puppies and adult dogs have an adoption fee of $600; senior dogs have an adoption fee of $350. However some dogs may have a higher adoption fees based on the extent of their training or other factors. We also may have "legacy dogs" whose higher fee help offset the medical costs of some of our emergency cases. Fees are set at the discretion of the rescue. The adoption fees covers only a portion of the expense the rescue spends on the medical care, housing, and transport of each rescue dog; the rest is covered through fundraising efforts. - The first step towards adoption is to complete an adoption application, which can be found online at our website www.LuckyDogRefuge.com, under the “Apply Now” tab or at https://forms.gle/LXKMKSnagxLSad668. - Do NOT use the Petfinder links or email to ask us about our adoptable dog listings - we do not always receive these messages and will not respond to them.
