About Mallory

Mallory is a playful 6-week-old puppy looking for her forever home. This sweet girl is a mix of Labrador Retriever and Shepherd, ready to become the newest member of your family. In her young life, she loves engaging with her littermates and is well on her way to becoming socialized with other dogs, cats, and kids given the right training and patience. Living currently in a DC area foster home, Mallory needs a loving family who will commit to giving her the attention and care that a puppy requires, including plenty of playtime and exercise. She'll need multiple potty breaks throughout the day, so potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday should plan accordingly. Once she's a bit older, she’s eager to explore the world with you, wagging her tail on walks and making doggie friends along the way. She has received age-appropriate vaccinations, but adopters should be aware a full round of vaccinations is needed as she grows. Although Mallory isn't spayed yet, it will be the adopter's responsibility to ensure this is completed by March 8, 2027. A non-refundable deposit is available for those who prefer to have Lucky Dog arrange the procedure at a partner vet. If you're ready to provide love, training, and a lifetime of adventures for Mallory, she can’t wait to meet you! Each puppy is a new journey, and with the right commitment, this one will be a cherished companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
