Hiya! I'm Ives! Me and my littermates have loved our time in the puppy pile, but we are each ready to pack our bags and find our very own forever home! I'm looking for a home that will let me play with toys and get my puppy zoomies out and give me snuggles in between playtimes. When I'm a little older, 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. Oh, and I should probably take a puppy obedience class or two so I can show you how smart I am. What do you say? Do you have room in your heart for me?
I'm an estimated 10-week-old female Aussie/Cattle Dog mix who weighed about 13 lbs as of July 3, 2026. 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.
Ideal Home
Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks and 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.
Ongoing Health
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. Due to my young age, I have not yet been spayed. As part of the adoption contract, it will be your responsibility as the adopter to ensure that this is done no later than October 14, 2026. There are NO EXCEPTIONS and NO EXTENSIONS to this date. A non-refundable spay/neuter deposit will be collected if you would like us to pay for my spay/neuter at one of our low-cost partner vets.
Training & Support
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!
Application Details:
- Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
- The adoption fee for me is $485, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter.
Transporation
I am currently in a DC area foster home. Transport may be available.
