About Kay

KAY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Kay Best Guess for Breed: Lab/Shepherd Best Guess for Age: 2 years as of Nov. 2026 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 47lbs as of Nov. 2026 Gets Along With: Other Dogs! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: South Carolina shelter; needs DC area foster or forever home! Special adoption considerations: Kay 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! Kay is Looking For: Love! The shelter says this pretty lady is sweet and well-mannered. She can't wait to find her #1 snuggle and adventure buddy to explore the world with----or even just the neighborhood. Trips to the dog park, playdates with other doggos, meeting lots of new and fun people are also high on her list. What do you say? Is Kay the pup for you? What My Foster Says About Me: Coming soon! 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.
