DEBBIE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: DEBBIE Best Guess for Breed: TERRIER/SHEP MIX Best Guess for Age: 1 YEAR as of Aug. 2026 SEX: female Approximate Weight: 31 lbs as of 10/2/26 Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: DC area foster Debbie is Looking For: Debbie is a sweet, affectionate Terrier/Shepherd mix who is ready to bring endless joy, loyalty, and love to her forever family. A great small to medium size, she is looking for daily walks, sniffaris, and games, followed by long comfy naps. And dog school to show you how smart she is! And yummy quality kibble! If you are looking for a loyal companion who will greet you with a wagging tail every single day, consider Debbie! What My Foster Says About Me: Debbie is an incredibly sweet, affectionate and endearing pup. She is extremely gentle and calm around people and children. In addition to being the cutest cuddle bug of all time, she is incredibly social. She LOVES meeting all dogs and is the queen of the dog park. She plays so well with other dogs, and is discovering a love of fetch! When her foster mom is busy around the apartment, Debbie loves to entertain herself with her toys. She is still getting used to the sights and sounds of the city and feels most comfortable going to the bathroom in an enclosed space such as a yard or dog park while she builds confidence. Debbie would be a great addition to a family looking for a loving, joyful companion! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
