MIDGI NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!
Name: MIDGI Best Guess for Breed: SHIH TZU
Best Guess for Age: 2 YEARS as of Sept. 2026 SEX: female
Approximate Weight: 10 lbs
Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!
Currently Living at: SC Campus, needs a foster or adopter to come to DC!
Special adoption considerations: Midgi is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!
Midgi is Looking For: This little pup has pep in their step and treats every day like an exciting new adventure. She is looking for a loving, loyal, active family that will match her enthusiasm. Her gorgeous coat requires regular brushing and grooming appointments to stay mat-free and comfortable, incl. for a good cuddle when playtime ends!
What My Foster Says About Me: We will update when Midgi has spent time in foster!
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 $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog
Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.
