Come meet Sandcastle and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (8/23) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Silver Spring (12020 Cherry Hill Rd, Silver Spring, MD 20904)! Name: Sandcastle Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd and hound mix Best Guess for Age: 9 months as of August 2026 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 21 lbs as of 8/2/26; she is still growing. Gets Along With: Other dogs and with kids! We haven't seen her with cats but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: DC area foster homeSandcastle is Looking For: A forever home that is permanent - not ephemeral, not likely to be washed away by the waves of the ocean. She is at the tail end of puppyhood and has so much to see and do! She is looking for her own humans to trot alongside on long sniffy walks and romps in parks and adventures to burn all that awesome young-dog energy. Also on her wish list: plenty of ear scritches, quality kibble, a cushy dog bed, and some new pup pals to play with!But above all, she wants to know where she belongs, to be under her own roof, safe and loved. In exchange, she promises adoring gazes and loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say? Can you see Sandcastle by your side?What My Foster Says About Me: Sandcastle is such a sweet and easygoing little girl. She’s great at quietly settling in her crate, and always thrilled to curl up in a lap and get a few snuggles. She’s super smart too and has already mastered “sit” in the short time since she’s arrived! We haven’t met a creature she doesn’t want to befriend, whether that’s dogs at the park or children who want to hug her—she’s an equal opportunity lovebug who just wants to be loved in return. She lives with a 9 year old boy and is doing great with him and his friends. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
