Jared's Story

Please contact Caitlin Finn (caitlin.finn@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Friendly lab mix needs a home! JARED NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!<br/><br/>Name: Jared Best Guess for Breed: Lab / Shepherd mix<br/><br/>Best Guess for Age: 11 months as of December 2025 SEX: Male<br/><br/>Approximate Weight: 40 lbs as of 10/5/25 - his weight was stable for about six weeks as of that date<br/><br/>Gets Along With: Jared does well with other dogs and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog. He has done well with kids in his foster homes, but we haven't seen them with cats. We are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!<br/>Currently Living at: DC area foster home<br/><br/>Special adoption considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. Jared is shy and also needs a welcoming resident dog who will help show him the ropes!<br/><br/>Jared is Looking For: This young boy is eager to start his new life with his own humans in the DC area and wants nothing more than to walk through the world with all the confidence of a well-loved dog! Right now, the DC area is a huge change from his previous Puerto Rico and he's pretty unsure in this new area. He needs a loving, active family who can take him on lots of walks and bring him for playdates with doggy friends - and a resident dog who will show him how to dog. Jared is most looking forward knowing he's safe and loved - and knowing upon whom to lavish all those adoring gazes he's been stockpiling. Will that be you?<br/>What My Foster Says About Me: Jared is incredibly sweet, gentle, and patient. He loves belly rubs, toys, and is very food motivated which will be great for training. He loves other dogs! He is very shy but also really wants to be with his people so if you let him engage at his own pace, you’ll quickly see him begin to blossom and show what a sweet, loyal, loving dog he is. He just needs some time to build that special trust with his human. Jared is a real gem!<br/>Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.<br/>TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog .<br/><br/>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.<br/>Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!
