About this Dog
Lester NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Lester Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd/Terrier mix Best Guess for Age: 3 years as of June 2025 SEX: male Approximate Weight: 45 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: South Carolina shelter. Lester needs a foster or forever home to come to the DC area! Special adoption considerations: Lester is a truly Lucky Dog. He 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! Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think Lester would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure he can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes. Lester is Looking For: Lester is a "sato" from the streets of Puerto Rico who made his way to South Carolina on a rescue flight, leaving his tough past behind. He's a tripod, but don’t let that fool you—Lester moves through life with confidence, curiosity, and plenty of tail wags. He’s gentle, affectionate, and has a quiet strength that wins everyone over. Lester is patiently waiting to share his boundless love with a forever family. Are you ready to provide him a forever home? What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once Lester has spent some time in foster care! 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 Lester and Receive Lester's Fund
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, Lester's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Lester's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Lester, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Lester's contribution 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 contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. 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 Lester was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Lester’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Lester’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, Lester’s balance will remain in our general 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!
