My story

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

*** Please watch my video! Love, Lucky ***andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Hello there, my name is Lucky. My friends and foster family say that I have the perfect name for such a perfect boy.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;My story began a long time ago, when my previous owner passed away. Instead of finding a nice shelter for me, I was cast out onto the streets and forced to fend for myself for SEVEN YEARS. In August 2023, a few kind people at Great Plains SPCA recognized my potential and brought me to their shelter. Now Iandamp;#39;m living it up in a foster home!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Due to my past, Iandamp;#39;ve learned to be aloof in order to protect myself from people who have done me harm. I may be shy when we first meet because Iandamp;#39;m not sure if youandamp;#39;re one of the people I can trust. But with a little patience, it wonandamp;#39;t be long before I give you all my love. When Iandamp;#39;m ready to form that bond, Iandamp;#39;ll lean right into your hand for pets.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;In my foster home, I am extremely calm and love to follow my foster mom and her dog around. I am housetrained but tend to graze on my food throughout the day, so I may ask to go out a couple times a day. I appreciate the calmer things in life, and my favorite activity is sunbathing in the backyard so I can watch the world go by.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Will you care for me during my golden years?andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Kisses andamp; Wagsandlt;br/andgt;Lucky
