About this Dog
ABBOTT NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!! Come meet Abbott and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (07/27) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Silver Spring, MD (12020 Cherry Hill Rd, Silver Spring, MD 20904)! Name: Abbott Best Guess for Breed: Chihuahua mix Best Guess for Age: 6 years 8 months as of Apr 2025 Gender: Male Approximate Weight: 17.7 lbs Gets Along With: Abbott does well with other dogs and needs to go to a home with a welcoming resident dog because he is shy. Abbott would do best in a home without kids. We haven’t seen Abbott with cats but we would be happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters. Currently Living At: DC area foster home. Abbott is Looking For: Abbott is a 6-year-old dog with a gentle soul. This handsome boy might start off a little shy, but once he gets to know you, his heart opens up like a beautiful flower. With a bit of patience and love, Abbott will bloom into the loyal and loving companion you’ve been dreaming of. Because of his quiet nature, Abbott would thrive in a calm and understanding home where he can take his time to feel safe and secure. He’s the kind of dog who will appreciate a cozy corner to relax in and a kind hand to remind him he’s truly loved. What My Foster Says About Me: Abbott is getting along beautifully with Gracie. When it's time for walkies, they run to the vestibule and compete for my attention to see who can get their leash put on first. Abbott taps his front paws impatiently and tries to nuzzle in next to Gracie when I'm putting on her leash. He's still shy with me, but he's making a little progress. He'll follow me and be underfoot when I'm walking around the house, but when I'm sitting, he'll lie down some 6 or 7 feet from me. I'll tempt him with a treat and he'll come close enough to take it from an extended hand. If I get on the ground and approach him slowly, he'll let me pet him , and then I can rub his tummy (when he loves, of course, once he lets me do it). In the time he's been with us, he hasn't had any accidents. He sleeps through the night in his crate, and doesn't resist when I put him in. He's walked into it voluntarily only 3 or 4 times in the three weeks he's been with us. I have no concerns about leaving him and Gracie to roam the house while I'm gone. If he senses that I'm just outside the door, he'll bark for a bit, but once I get down the front steps, the barking stops. Heartworm Information: Abbott 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. Abbott has completed the treatment and exercise restriction phase, and is awaiting the 6-month follow up test. 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. Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!

Adopt Abbott and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Abbott's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Abbott's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Abbott, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Abbott's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Abbott was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Abbott’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Abbott’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Abbott’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
