young girl eager for fresh start and love! ELI NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Eli Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd and lab mix Best Guess for Age: 3 months as of 3/1/26 SEX: Female Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!): 15 lbs as of 3/7/26 Gets Along With: Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs, cats and kids so long as they receive patience and proper training. Currently Living at: Puerto Rico shelter - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here! Special Adoption Considerations: Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy. Eli is Looking For: Hi! I'm Eli. I've enjoyed the balmy warmth of Puerto Rico but what I really want is my own family. I want play time and snuggles and more play time. And to go to puppy school so I can show how super smart I am. And then to explore the world by my humans' side! I have so much love and loyalty to give in return. What do you say? Do I get to grow up with you? What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once she has spent time in foster care Puppy Vetting Requirements: Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be “fully” vaccinated. It is the adopter’s responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog. Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog! TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this puppy is $485, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online bit.ly/adoptaluckydog Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption.
