DOROTHY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!
Name: Dorothy Best Guess for Breed: Beagle mix
Best Guess for Age: 4 years as of July 2026 SEX: Female
Approximate Weight: 18 lbs
Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!
Currently Living at: Rural shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here.
Special adoption considerations: Dorothy is a truly Lucky Dog. She 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!
Dorothy is Looking For: This sweetie landed in the shelter due to no fault of her own but she's closed that chapter. Now she's ready for her new chapter and is looking for a loving home to call her own. Dorothy would love going for nice sniffy walks (gotta make that beagle nose happy!), exploring the world with her humans, and going to dog school to show you how super smart she is. Quality kibble and a cushy dog bed and cuddles round out her wish list. And she promises adoring gazes and loyal companionship in exchange. What do you say? Does that sound like a fair trade to you?What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once she has spent time in foster care.
Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
