🇺🇸
Washington, District Of Columbia
July 16th
female, small, young
DESCRIPTION
small floof ISO fresh start and love! TROUBLE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!
Name: Trouble Best Guess for Breed: Shih tzu mix
Best Guess for Age: 7 months as of July 2026 SEX: Female
Approximate Weight: 5.3 lbs as of 7/14/26; likely has a bit more to grow!
Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!
Currently Living at: Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here!
Trouble is Looking For: Her forever home! This sweetie may have small legs and be awfully close to the ground but she's a young pup, eager for sniffy walks and world exploration by her humans' side. And that long coat - yeah, that needs daily brushing (a perfect segue into snuggling in the eves!) and regular professional grooming, please. She'd like to be able to SEE - and move around without painful mats. (And she'd like a name change too, please. She feels unfairly maligned with this one.)
Most of all, though, she wants to love and be loved, to know where she belongs. What do you say? is that by your side?
What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once this pup has spent time in foster care.
Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
