My Story

Please contact Paul Slebzak ([email protected]) for more information about this pet.sweet girl ISO fresh start and love!LACEY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!
Name: Lacey Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd, kelpie mix
Best Guess for Age: 4 years as of May 2024 Gender: Female
Approximate Weight: 70 lbs
Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven’t seen her with kids but she can be tested. Due to her high prey drive, Lacey should not go to a home with cats.
Currently Living At: South Carolina shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area after completing heartworm treatment

Special Adoption Considerations: Lacey is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs. All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care. After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months.We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator – the address is at lower left!
Lacey is Looking For: Her forever home! This sweetie landed in the shelter through no fault of her own. She’s firmly closed that chapter and is eager to get her new one. The one where she gets her own humans. Where she gets to go on long sniffy walks in the neighborhood, meeting new pup and people pals – and explore the rest of the world! Quality kibble and a cushy dog bed are on her wish lost as well, and she wouldn’t refuse to try puppacinos and other tasty treats either.
You know what, though? She’s way out of the puppy yips and as a wise, experienced dog knows what’s most important in life: Being safe and loved and under her own roof. That’s right at the top of her wish list. In exchange she promises adoring gazes and loyal companionship for all her days. At 70 pounds, that’s a pretty huggable snuggle buddy and a solid presence by your side. How about it?
What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once she has arrived in the DC area and spent some time with her foster
