Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Don't be fooled by Lucho's sad-sack expression....he is one happy and fun-loving little puppy these days! Lucho is 8 months old and this pit/boxer mix was one of several dogs that were rescued from some terrible conditions where they were starved and forced to live in tiny cages in a basement. It took Lucho quite a while to get big and healthy but as you can see, he's doing fantastic now! Lucho missed out on puppyhood but he is making the most of it now. He had never been outdoors before coming to us and when he's outside, he's cautious of new things like pinecones, which he tends to trip over, or feathers, that send him into a frenzy when they get stuck to his nose. Once he realizes that feathers won't hurt him, he puts his front paws down, his little butt up in the air, and he wants to play, play, play! He's a goofy and sweet little guy that loves everyone once he gets over his initial shyness. He will need some basic puppy training but Lucho is eager to learn and so happy to get attention from people. He is such a sweet, mushy boy and he gets along just fine with other dogs too. Lucho is ready to meet a good family that will give him the lifetime of happiness that he deserves. File#26562 8/9/16
