LUKE - GOLDEN RETRIEVER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Golden Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 550. Luke is looking for his forever family, and honestly, he'd be lucky to land with any of them — but we think it might just be your family. This handsome guy is believed to be a Collie/Golden Retriever/Lab mix, and he's got the best of all three: a gorgeous coat, a big heart, and a tail that never stops wagging. Luke is estimated to have been born in early February 2026, making him about 6.5–7 months old, and he weighs in at a happy, healthy 40 pounds. Luke is the total package. He's great with other dogs, gentle and playful with kids, and — yes, really — good with cats too, making him a wonderful fit for a busy multi-pet household. He's obsessed with his toys, lights up for walks, and turns into an absolute goofball when it's time to run and play fetch. But after all that energy is spent, Luke is happiest curled up next to his people — he is, without exaggeration, the sweetest cuddle bug you'll ever meet. He's already crate trained and potty trained, so he's ready to settle into a new home routine without missing a beat. Luke is a young dog with an old soul's affection and a puppy's zest for life. He wants to be your hiking buddy, your kids' best friend, your dog park regular, and your end-of-the-day snuggle partner — all in one.
