Hi I'm Lucky! Like the wide droopy face of the Bulldog?

Hi, my name is Lucky and I haven't had any luck at finding a home. I'm counting the days to have an owner who will take me home and teach me to be the best well-behaved dog in the neighborhood. My rescue group works diligently at finding me a home but I guess most people want small dogs and I don't stand a chance. Please read my bio and consider giving me at least a temporary place to stay snd I will show you what a nice dog I can be if you teach me some commands and exercise me. In return, I will wait for you to come home from a hard day at work and we'll go together to the park and have some fun. I will be your loyal friend and love and protect you. Please take me home.

Lucky's bio...

We need an adult foster home with a dog savy person and good pack leader. Lucky is incredibly sweet and loves to interact with people and be part of the human pack. She loves people including strangers. Lucky is neither food nor toy agressive. She will thrive in a home as the only dog and with people who love the outdoors and are active. She loves to run and would make a perfect jogging companion. But she would settle for a nice power walk in the park if walking, not jogging, is your favorite exercise. Lucky is a VERY happy, playful and energetic dog that can also be very calm and loving. She will make a superb companion for that especial person or couple devoted to the three key essentials to a healthy, happy dog: Exercise, Discipline and Affection.

Lucky's OK with well-matched dogs but should be the only dog -- No cats. She's approx 1 1/2 - 2 yrs old, spayed, current on vaccinations, and microchipped. She is drop-dead gorgeous with a white soft velvet-like coat with light brow spots and amazing golden eyes. She is a fun lively girl, with a streak of mischief. You will feel like a star when you take this dog out for a walk. Lucky has a million-dollar personality and like all healthy pups, she is mouthy and rambunctious at times. She needs a dog savvy guardian who who can set good direction and is a good pack leader. Please contact us ASAP if you can provide a foster or forever home to this beautiful creature by replying to this post. Lucky is housetrained -- no messes! A foster/permanent home with a yard is preferred but not essential as long as the dog is exercised properly.

Adopt or Foster Your Best Friend: Max!

Hi, my name is Steven. Strays from the Heights has graciously agreed to let me write a few words on behalf of Max, an amazing dog that has yet to be discovered by that very special person with a big heart for homeless dogs.

Max has been a part of my life for over six months now. I fostered him for a short period of time and I got to love this dog as much as my own dogs. Then lost my home and became homeless, and reluctantly had to give him back to the rescue group. Max is being boarded at a nice place where everyone loves him, and he is, at this very moment, sitting in front of me, looking at me, trying to find out what's going to happen to him. Max has outlived one high-kill shelter TWICE, two foster homes (one home with a bi-polar; another home with a musician (me)), three of my relationships, two states, one bread machine, three fans, and the East Village. He may not outlive much more if he doesn't find that very special person he needs soon. When he goes, I will cry, and I will sulk, and then I will pick myself up, call the rescue group, and take another dog. I am my mother’s son, and we can’t remain passive while there are so many good dogs being destroyed every day in our cities.

Please take a good look at this dog. Max is a wonderful dog, truly man's best friend. He's also a dog for ONE owner; two at the most. And he is not a dog for a sissy. Max is sweet, playful, and VERY smart. He loves his toys and to chew on a bone and spends hours with them. Max would make a wonderful running partner or an excellent companion for someone active in the outdoors. Max loves to run around in circles when he gets home from a walk. We hypothesized that this was because he had lived in an apartment that was much too small for him, and running in circles was the only way he could burn his near-boundless energy.

The key to Max's happiness is firm pack leadership. Max is not a dog for someone just wishing to give love to a needy animal, but is rather a dog for someone who will enjoy training his best friend. Max's approx 18 months and 40 pounds, knows some basic commands and is fully housetrained. Max would love a home with a fenced yard to exercise and play in. He'll do best in a home without other dogs -- he's good with friendly dogs but I doubt he's willing to share his owner with another dog. No cats and he likes to chase anything of four legs.

If you meet Max's requirements, please consider meeting this dog.
