Notes from listing

LEMUEL NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Lemuel Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd/heeler mix Best Guess for Age: 10 months as of March 2026 SEX: Male Estimated Weight (he is still growing): 40 pounds as of March 2026 Gets Along With: Other dogs! We have tested him with one of our volunteer's cats in their home, and he did not seem particularly interested in chasing or pouncing on the cat. While this is a positive sign that Lemuel could live with a cat, he has not done so to our knowledge. He has not lived with kids to our knowledge, we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: DC area foster home. 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. Because Lemuel is shy, he needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog to show him the ropes. Lemuel is Looking For: Hiya! I'm Lemuel! You can watch a video of my rescue in Puerto Rico here: https://youtube.com/shorts/uT4qlY7lLQw?feature=share. I'm looking for my forever family! I can't wait to explore my new neighborhood on lots of walks, and I'd really like to make a bunch of doggie friends along the way. But most of all I want to know I'm safe and loved, where I belong. I have so many kisses and so much love and loyalty to give in return. What do you say? Do I get to go home with you? What My Foster Says About Me: Lemuel is a smart, snuggly, sweet, and social guy! He LOVES other dogs, including my own resident dog and my other foster puppy. He can often be found chasing and wrestling with his foster siblings, or tugging on toys! Lemuel (who also answers to Lemmy) really enjoys meeting new dogs at events and at the dog park. He will usually roll on his back and let the other dog sniff him first, then lick their face and pounce playfully. Lemmy is a smart boy who sits promptly for treats. He also observes carefully while I prepare his food and runs directly into the crate when I pick up his bowl from the counter! He hangs out and naps calmly in his crate while I'm at work, and enjoys snuggling with me on the couch in the evenings. Lemmy also enjoys tossing around squeaky toys and chewing on Benebones. Lemuel is a great dog who will make his lucky adopter very happy! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter.
