Lopez's Story

Please contact Kendall Majtyka (kendall.majtyka@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.young boy ready to play! LOPEZ NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!<br/>Name: Lopez Best Guess for Breed: Australian shepherd mix<br/>Best Guess for Age: 2 years as of March 2026 SEX: Male<br/><br/>Approximate Weight: 36 lbs<br/><br/>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!<br/>Currently Living at: DC area foster home<br/><br/>Lopez is Looking For: His forever home! This young pup wants to see the world and is eagerly looking forward to having his own humans for sniffy walks and lots of romps and all the adventures they can dream up - and to make pup pals along the way. And dog school so he can show how super smart he is. And then pets and cuddles and belly scratches 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 this goofy boy the one you see by your side?What My Foster Says About Me: Lopez has been the most wonderful house guest! This boy is SO smart—he is eager to learn and only wants to please his people. He knows sit, down, and is working on mastering other commands. Lopez seems to really enjoy learning. He’s the best coworker at home and just loves being near me while I work. He’s doing really well walking on a leash. Lopez’s favorite thing in the world—other than cuddles—is playing fetch. He could truly go back and forth for hours. He also loves playing with other pups and has a gentle play style. Lopez has been doing really well on his potty training. This boy is extremely affectionate and loves nothing more than to stare deeply into your eyes while you massage his ears. He loves to follow me around my apartment and assist with any chores. Lopez would love to meet you and gaze lovingly until you fall in love!<br/><br/>Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.<br/><br/>TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.
