Name: Shirley Best Guess for Breed: Lab mix

Best Guess for Age: 10 weeks as of May 24, 2026 SEX: Female

Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!): 8 lbs as of May 24, 2026

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: Shelter! She needs a DC area foster or adopter to make her way out of the shelter.

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.
Shirley is Looking For: I'm looking for a forever family to show me the ropes of how to be a good doggo. Puppy obedience class (will work for treats!), lots of playtime with other dogs, and plenty of love sounds so fun!
What My Foster Says About Me: Coming soon!
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
