Lucas's Story

Lucas was found scavenging in the mountains with his sister (now happily adopted!), it is a mystery where his other litter mates and mother might be. With no protection or shelter, covered in ticks and fleas, it was apparent that these two tiny pups needed our help; They stood no chance of survival. Safely in our care, these pups thankfully never spent time in a kill shelter where they would have had a 12-day period to live, an experience that would have also been stressful and traumatizing. Lucas is estimated to grow no larger than 35 lbs, a perfect medium. He is good with dogs and cats, and would make a great addition to the right family.

Get to Know Lucas

Lucas is an absolute sweetheart that loves cuddling. He adores playing with all day with fellow dogs and has a blast at his foster home, and gets really excited to go to all-day-play at daycare. He loves his humans and would love to sleep in bed with you, always be with you. When the other dogs are getting attention, he’ll nudge his way in and say “Me too!” We would love for him to be with an adopter that works from home, is retired, or can make doggie daycare arrangements so that he is not alone. Super sweet boy. Every human that has crossed his path falls madly in love, he’s that sweet!
