In the shelter’s words

LIL BIT NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Follow Lil Bit's adventures via her #1 fan human on Instagram at @emritanimals. Come meet Lil Bit and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (8/23) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Silver Spring (12020 Cherry Hill Rd, Silver Spring, MD 20904)! Name: Lil Bit Best Guess for Breed: Terrier mix Best Guess for Age: 3.5 years as of July 2026 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 31 lbs Gets Along With: Lil Bit would do best as an only dog in the home. Lil Bit should not go to a home with kids. We have seen her do well with some cats, but she should have a long introduction period. Currently Living at: DC area foster home What My Humans Says About Me: Lil Bit is full of personality and impossible not to love! Once she gets to know you, Lil Bit will shower you with kisses and loves to cuddle. When she's excited to see you, she will jump without actually getting off the ground, we call it "tap dancing"! Lil Bit loves adventures! She's explores and loved pup cups, dress up (A LOT OF DRESS UP), sniffy walks, learning new tricks, road trips and even swimming. So far, there is no form of spoiling this little princess hasn't liked. Lil Bit is a wonderful houseguest who appears to be housebroken and sleeps through the night in her crate with comically loud snores. She is a medium energy girl and spends most of her day snoozing or quietly chewing on bones. When the weather is cooler, she appreciates a long walk, but in the summer loves to keep it short. She is a laid back girl at home who entertains herself and settles in easily. Lil Bit is a very loyal girl, and can become a little protective of her people and space. When meeting new people, she prefers to meet them outside first with a short walk, before they come into her house. She remembers people after one meeting, and quickly becomes a love bug once she knows she's safe with someone. On leash, Lil Bit can have some reactivity to dogs and kids, but is incredibly motivated by treats. She can successfully navigate suburban settings but busy sidewalks might take some mental prep. She responds INCREDIBLY well to training. If you are looking for a dog who will become your best friend and entire world, Lil Bit has plenty of personality to fill that space in your heart! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
