Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Luke was found in South Union, Houston, TX after a resident contacted one of our field volunteers and was desperate to get this 8 month pup out of her house. She was terrified and said that her husband beats the dog daily and that he had just thrown the pup against the wall. She was afraid the dog would end up dead if it stayed. It was obvious there was more abuse going on than just the dog but we did not push the issue in order to get the dog out without the husband getting involved. When we picked up Luke, he was terrified, his eye was full of blood. He would not let anyone touch him. He would cry, growl and cower as he thought he was going to get beaten again. Once he realized he was finally safe and we were not going to hurt him, he settled down and cuddled.
Luke is a super sweet boy and loves sleeping under the blankets and cuddle. He has lots of energy to run and play. He is potty pad trained and house trained, he is crate trained but due to the abuse he has separation anxiety and can not be crated alone. He needs to be crated with another pup, although he doesn't need to be crated. He is great to be left loose in the house. He is good with dogs, cats, children and great on a leash.
