LUCA: NOT AT SHELTER (CARI) - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / HOUND / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Hound / Mixed (short coat). Meet Luca! He is the perfect boy for any family!! At two years old and weighing 40 lbs, he has the personality of a lab in a compact body! Luca is a bundle of joy whose love for life is absolutely contagious! When he first arrived at his foster home, he was a shy, cautious little soul. But oh, how he has flourished! Luca has transformed into the ultimate cuddlebug, eager to snuggle up and share his unending love Luca loves his daily walks, running full out in the yard, and snuggling on the sofa with his human. He is a fairly quiet dog; he barks outside when someone comes to the fence, but he doesn't bark inside....and we're not sure if his outside barking is because he's copying the other dog in the home or if it's his own idea. Though a bit reserved around new faces, Luca quickly warms up to become a loving lap dog once he feels secure. For this reason, a home with another friendly dog would be ideal for him. Luca isn’t just about outdoor escapades, he’s equally content to stay indoors, showering his humans with affection and delighting in his toy collection. His gentle demeanor makes him a perfect companion for children, with whom he is always careful and sweet. He would be the perfect family dog for children to grow up with. He is great with cats, too. One of Luca’s charming features is his adorable short, docked tail. We don't know if he was born that way or someone docked it at his birth. We did have a DNA test donated and Luca is a little mix of everything! He quite literally is a mix of (a small percentage each) TWENTY different breeds, a multi-generational mutt! If you're seeking a devoted, playful, friendly and loyal companion who is as enthusiastic about adventure, as he is about snuggle time, Luca is your boy! Luca has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heart worm tested, dewormed and is on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. He is ready to find his forever home!
