My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Lucas is a sweet, active and fun seven-year-old, 10-pound, male Chihuahua/Rat Terrier-mix looking for a loving guardian.

Lucas was left at Chicago Animal Care and Control when his family moved to a no-pets apartment. He gets along beautifully with dogs of all shapes and sizes, but can certainly live happily as the one and only dog in the home. While he currently lives in a foster home with multiple dogs and cats, he tends to chase the cats for fun.

I think Lucas looks older than he actually is, but his activity level makes him seem much younger. Lucas bonds very closely with his people and is very loving. He sleeps in bed with his family or on the couch with you. He just loves being a lap dog. He is housebroken, not at all destructive and has never been crated since his days at the pound.

Lucas enjoys carrying his stuffed animals around the house with him. He loves walks and car rides and when left alone at home tends to bark for a few minutes when you leave, so he may be better in a house than in an apartment or condo. He also enjoys being dressed up in sweaters or wrapping himself up in a blanket for his naps.

He is very healthy, neutered, de-wormed, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped and heartworm-tested.

To meet and possibly adopt Lucas, please contact Jill at dottysummers@gmail.com or 407-415-0549. He is being fostered in Chicago. His adoption fee of $250 benefits the rescued pets of Famous Fido.
