zeldaHello there, it's nice to meet you! My name is Zelda and I am a 2-year-old, 70lb Mastiff mix. My foster mom says I am an extremely sweet, gentle, sensitive dog who does my best to lay on your lap despite my size and loves to be close and get hugs!
My puppies and I were rescued from a poor situation, and it's clear to my foster mom that I was not socialized properly, due to the fact that I can be quite nervous and take time to warm up to new situations and people, so a quieter home that understands my needs would be ideal! My puppies are becoming independent and won't need to rely on me much longer so Lucky Tales thought it would be helpful to get me some publicity now so I can find a furever home when the time comes (which will be soon!) I am a very quiet, easy-going girl and my foster says I am low energy most of the time, a short walk or two a day and I am happy to hang out and relax around the house the rest of the time, getting pets or sleeping. I have done great with older children, but no young ones for me, please! I am completely house and crate trained, do well with other dogs, and cats are good in my book, too as long as they don't crowd me as that makes me nervous. I love to go for walks and explore, and love my toys! Don't tell anyone but I've been known to fall asleep with them still in my mouth. Whenever I see my people, I will go grab one of my toys and get so wiggly and excited, I think my hind end might come undone! My foster mom says it's so endearing! If you are looking for an extremely loving, laid back dog, I'm your girl! I'm up to date on age-appropriate shots, neutered, microchipped, and heartworm negative My Adoption Fee is $212.00 |

leviHidey-ho, good neighbor! Levi here! I'm about 3-4 months old and, truth be told, nobody is really sure about my breed. I might be a Boxer/Collie mix but the shelter thought I could be a Shepherd/Boxer mix and my foster Mom thinks I may be more Jack Russell/Beagle since my legs are kind of short and I bark like a beagle. But who needs labels, right? I'm darn cute no matter what! I'm a typical puppy with lots of energy but I also love to be around my people and give kisses, too. My foster Mom says I'm a little bossy so a home with consistency would be ideal.

cosmoHello! My name is Cosmo! You may remember me from the Space Litter a couple of months ago. I'm still a Lab/Hound mix and I'm still a boy, but now I'm 3 months old and I'm a single guy looking for someone to snuggle! I consider myself an explorer. When I grow up, maybe I could be like that dog Wishbone who always went on adventures! That'd be cool!! Me and my family seeing the world, or the backyard, either one is okay by me. I have typical puppy energy and love to play with other dogs or whatever toy is closest. I enjoy my people and one of my favorites of all time is belly rubs!

rudyWell, hello there! My name is Rudy.
I'm a small guy who is roughly 8 years old and I'm not only housebroken but I'm crate trained, too. I love to eat and I also love to cuddle but I like to be the one who approaches others and I don't like being picked up. If you sit down, I'll jump right into your lap, though, so if you could please let me do things my own way, we'll get along great! I do well with other dogs but since I still have a bit of spunk, I'll chase cats (FYI - the cats I currently live with tolerate my occasional chase). Also, small children aren't for me and I really need to be with someone who has owned Chihuahuas and understands me and my kind. I know it's a tall order to fill but my foster Mom says the right person is out there for me, we just haven't found them yet. I'm up to date on shots, neutered, microchipped, and heartworm negative. My Adoption Fee is $212.00* |

buttersWhy hello there! The name is Butters and you may recognize me from my earlier debut on the Lucky Tales Rescue page! I look much different these days after my eye surgeries. I’m quite handsome if I do say so myself. My eyes sparkle like gems! I am very spry for a 7 year old fella. I enjoy spending my time playing with toys (crinkle balls are my absolute favorite), napping in my bed, and hanging out with my best friend who happens to be my canine foster brother - we do everything together! Sometimes, I even think I’m part dog and can be seen carrying around his bones, and playing fetch with his toys. I’m a silly guy! I don’t like to be picked up but that doesn’t stop me from being super affectionate, just let me to come to you first. Seriously, isn’t cuddling the best?! My foster mom says I am special because I’m deaf but I don’t notice I’m different; I am just your typical chatty orange tabby, a serious conversationalist. I had a tough start in life but I now realize, though, after all the help I’ve received since being in foster care that people are pretty great!! I love every human I meet! I am looking for a forever home with someone who wants to love me as much as I am ready love them!

meatballHello! Meatball here! I am an 8 month old male Australian Shepherd/Beagle mix who is looking for a new home! I am a sweet boy who is just a pup and looking for a family who will work on my manners and training. Don't worry, my foster mom has started working with me! I am somewhat of a clumsy, silly puppy. Its ok though, because I make up for it with cuteness! I have medium wavy hair. I am great with other dogs and love to play. I would do best in a home with no cats--I am not aggressive, but chasing them is a LOT of fun. They do not seem to enjoy that game. I am working on house training and crate training. I am neutered, up to date on shots, wormed, and microchipped.

yasiHello! My name is Yasi. I am a male 8-week-old Domestic Medium Hair who is looking for a new home! I came to Lucky Tales in rough shape but thanks to my foster mom, I have made a recovery. Except one thing, it was too late to save my one eye. Therefore, when I am neutered, they will remove this one eye. However, this will not stop me and I will live a long, healthy, normal life! I would love to be adopted with one of my siblings as they give me the boost of confidence I need. I am otherwise a happy and normal kitten who loves to play and get attention. I do not always like being picked up, but will come to you for attention and to sit on your lap. I will be neutered, up to date on age appropriate shots, fiv/felv tested, and microchipped.

junoHello! My name is Juno. I am a very sweet 4-5 year old Mastiff who is looking for a furever home! I have a sweet and friendly disposition despite my history. I was used by a back yard breeder where I had litter after litter. I also spent too much time cages on concrete causing pressure sores. When I could no longer be of use, I was dumped at a shelter. Clearly, she is in a better place now and never has to have another litter again. You can see by pictures, her pressure sores are healing as is her mental outlook. Do not let the gray face fool you! She still has zoomies! She is looking for a home that can show her all the love she deserves. Juno would do well in a home with other dogs, though she can be very forward when she first meets them. It is all about proper introductions! She means no harm. No cats for me!
I will be spayed, up to date on shots, microchipped by adoption! I am heartworm negative. My Adoption Fee is $212.00* |

rio Hello! My name is Rio. I am a 9 year old male Chihuahua who is looking for a furever home. I am an AWESOME boy--not your typical snarky Chihuahua. I do like to talk to my foster mom--she said it's cute not a nuisance. I love everyone and like to be with people. I like them even better if they give me a head pat or a belly rub. I am good with other dogs. I do like to wander around the yard to take in some smells. I wear a belly band in the house and do not mind it. I am crate trained. I am neutered, up to date on shots, heartworm negative, and microchipped. I also had a dental.

zitiHi everyone! I'm Ziti. I'm related to Orzo and Penne, both of whom found homes. Why not me?! I'm about 5 months old now and I'm still trying to find a home. I was turned into the shelter with my siblings but wasn't old enough to eat solid food so that's how we ended up with Lucky Tales! I'm so grateful for them! I'm a typical kitten, I like to play with anything on an elastic and that laser pointer thing is SO COOL. I like to be around my people but not necessarily in your lap. Curling up next to you, though, that's my jam!
I'm up to date on age appropriate shots, FIV/FELV negative, will be spayed/neutered and microchipped! My Adoption Fee is $95.00* |

LanaHello my name is Lana. I am a 6 year old Coonhound/Foxhound mix who is looking for a new home. I am a sweet sweet girl who likes being inside to hang with her family but also outside to explore. I am a very smart girl and I am house trained and crate trained. I would not do well in a home with cats. I really love life and love to walk around the backyard to take in all the smells. I am spayed, up to date on shots, heartworm negative, and microchipped.

ChaseChase here. Where my hound lovers at?! I know there are a few of you out there!
My foster Mom thinks I might be a Plott hound mix. I think I'm ready for a furever home with lots of fresh, country air! Or maybe a farm. Do you have a farm? Dude, if so, I'm your guy! I just do not care for the confines of city or subdivision living. There are too many things to worry about protecting my family from! I am about 3-4 years old and the SWEETEST boy. I love everyone! People, dogs, it does not matter! I am a affectionate and love my foster family. I am neutered, up to date on shots, heartworm negative, and microchipped. My Adoption Fee is $212.00* |

BAXTERWell hellllloooooooo!! The name is Baxter. It's very nice to meet you even if it is just virtually.
I'm about 4.5 to 5 years old and I'm a big boy, us Newfs are like that. I love to be out in public especially at that pet store place, go on car rides and be energetic in short bursts but then I have to pupflix and chill. My mom says I'm a very funny guy and that I have a lot of personality. I know how to sit and shake and since I'm very food driven, she thinks I can learn a lot more if someone would teach me. I've never had an accident in the house and I'm good in my crate, too! We used to have cats when I was younger and I was okay with them but that was a while ago, I guess maybe I might still be okay with them, I'm not sure. Kids, though, wow! Those tiny humans are pretty nifty and whenever I see them, I get down to the ground and crawl up to them. All I want to do is be in someone's lap. Why is that so odd? There's plenty of room for me with you wherever you're sitting! On another note, I used to like going to the dog park until a bigger dog came after me and now those bigger dogs scare me even though I'm a pretty big guy myself. Surprisingly, though, when my humans go out of town and I go to the kennel, I totally dig the other dogs and all the people who work there. Oh, and I also live with two dogs. Really, I love everyone unless they want something I have and they try to take it away from me. In order to keep the peace, I'm fed in my crate and that's okay by me. But, it's not really fair to me, my humans, or the other dogs to have such a stressful situation. They really just want me to find the place I'm truly meant to be. If there is someone out there who has experience with big guys like me, or with resource guarding / possessiveness, that would be *awesome*. I really want to be a great dog and I've got the potential, I just need to some steady training or be with someone who knows what I'm like. Maybe a single person, or a couple with no young kids, who will let me eat in peace and keep my toys to myself? I'm heartworm negative, up to date on shots, and neutered. I'm not microchipped yet but I will be prior to adoption. Please email for my adoption fee! |

belle--PENDINGHi, I'm Belle. I'm a 5-year-old German Shepherd / Lab mix weighing around 50 lbs. Due to some changes in my family, they need to find me a new place to live. It's breaking my Mom's heart but she's trying to do what's best for me. I'm everything you could want in a dog, really. I'm great with kids, dogs, and cats. I love to go for car rides and walks and play fetch. I'm also up to date on shots, spayed, and house trained. I even got that one-ear-is-floppy thing goin' on!

oscar and tillieHelp! Our family needs to find us a new place to live very quickly. Lucky Tales has offered to try and help get that done. I'm Oscar, a beagle mix. I'm about 40 lbs, and roughly 2 years old. Right now, I'm not fixed or up to date on vaccines but Lucky Tales will help get that done if an approved adopter is found. I'm a GREAT dog, very loveable and happy. I'm great with kids but sometimes I jump up when I meet new people - I just get excited. I've never nipped or growled and my Mom says I'm about as perfect as can be. My sister is Tillie, she's about 7 months old and 40 lbs. She's up to date on shots, microchipped, and spayed. She's still very young and learning how to live in a real home so she sometimes nips when playing and jumps on people because she get so excited. She can also be a little territorial with her food and want to be the boss with other dogs. Overall, though, my Mom says we're both sweethearts. (She just needs to learn some manners!)

figaroMeet Figaro, a 4 year old pit mix (maybe Boxer, Shiba Inu, or others??). Figaro is neutered, UTD on vaccinations and flea/heartworm prevention, crate and house trained, and knows several basic commands. Figgy's favorite hobby is Netflix and Chill cuddled up next to his people, which means he spends most of his days lounging on the couch. He has a very unique personality and he has never met a person he didn't immediately love. This special guy is more vocal than most dogs; not a barker, but a "talker" and will make it known that he needs to go potty or if he disagrees with you. He is good with other dogs, cats, and older children (8+) but he requires slower introductions. He is also a HUGE fan of squeaker toys (his current favorite is his cinnamon roll). He does well if left alone outside of the crate so long as he isn't out with other animals, too.
Unfortunately, Mr. Fig has been diagnosed with Hip Dysplasia though it was confirmed again recently that he still doesn't require any surgery at this time thanks to the joint supplements he takes daily. He's had so much success with these supplements that you can't usually tell that he even has hip dysplasia! While his condition doesn't require surgery at this time, it could potentially be needed in the future (or possibly never!) and these types of surgeries can be quite expensive. He also will need to continue on joint supplements for the rest of his life ($20 or less per month). We want to be as transparent as possible to ensure he finds the best furever home. In this new home, we think a fenced in yard would be nice since he's limited on exercise. Also, a home with few to no steps since this guy likes to protest walking up them. We think Fig would love another animal friend - he's been spotted cuddling HARDCORE with other dogs previously. Please email for my adoption fee! |

TysonHello, my name is Tyson. I am a 3 year old Terrier/Lab mix. I have the cutest wonky ears! Unfortunately, my mom is unable to care for me any longer. So I am looking for a new home. I am looking for a home where I am the only pet in the home. I can be with other dogs, but I tend to be the dominant in the group. I would also do best in a home without children as I can sometimes be a bit protective. I am house trained and crate trained. I love my mom and hope to find companionship in my new home. I love to cuddle with my current mom and hope I can do that with my new family too. I like to play and be outside.

CharlieCharlie here! I am a 3 year old Coonhound. I am looking for a new home because my mom is no longer able to care for me. I am a super sweet and loving boy. I can be a little sensitive, and don’t tell anyone but I can sometimes be afraid of the dark! I love to cuddle up. I can be a little fearful of strangers. Originally I came from the pound weary of strangers. I was probably not treated very well. I warm up to women faster than men, but I do come around and want attention and love. I am house trained and crate trained. I do jump fences—being a hound do I tend to follow my nose. I am up to date on shots and neutered.
