Special adoption considerations: Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think this pup would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure she can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes.In certain home settings -- where the environment might be loud or more intense -- this dog would do better with another dog in the home to give her confidence.
Lauren is Looking For: Her forever home! Lauren is a sato - a dog from Puerto Rico. She is eager to get her fresh start with her own humans in the DC area. Sniffy walks, romps, all the adventures in her new setting - yes, please! But you know what she wants most of all? To know she's safe and loved, where she belongs. In exchange she promises adoring gazes and loyal companionship for all her days.
What do you say? Can you see her down there by your side?
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.
