About this Dog
PLATYPUS NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Platypus Best Guess for Breed: Feist and terrier mix Best Guess for Age: 5 years as of July 2024 Gender: Male Approximate Weight: 9 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with kids or cats but he can be tested Currently Living At: Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get his freedom ride after completing heartworm treatment! Check out these videos of Platypus: https://youtu.be/IZd-_U4zkyU and https://youtu.be/IZd-_U4zkyU. Special Adoption Considerations: Platypus 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. We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left! Platypus is Looking For: His forever home, on dry land! While he was in the rural, overcrowded Texas shelter where he landed due to no fault of his own, he saw a documentary on dogs and realized he'd much rather be a well-loved family pet than an underwater mammal. Feeding on insect larvae and tadpoles is just a whole lot more work than chowing down on quality kibble, even if it's served up in a slow feeder. Plus. pups get to go on sniffy walks, see the mountains and the beaches from the other side and get pup cups from Starbucks for being Very Good Boys. He has so much to offer in exchange - all the adoring gazes and cuddles he's storing up in the shelter, and loyal companionship for all his days. And he promises to not lay eggs in the tub when you're bathing him, too. What do you say? Does Platypus have a spot in your lap and your life? What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once he has arrived in the DC area and spent some time with his foster 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.

Adopt Platypus 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, Platypus'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 Platypus's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Platypus, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Platypus'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 Platypus was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Platypus’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 Platypus’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, Platypus’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!
