Introducing Lucas, a dashing canine gentleman with a heart as big as frame! 🐕💙 This strapping 4-year-old boy, found as a stray, has a handsome demeanor that's sure to turn heads. Just watch out for his infectious excitement - he can't help but jump for joy when it's time for his beloved walks and he may even try to dash out the door ahead of you. If you're looking for a loyal and spirited buddy, Lucas might just be the charming companion you've been searching for.
Lucas is one of our long-timers who came in to the shelter in August 2023. He has been adopted and returned 2 times-once for breed restrictions and once for not getting along with the resident cat. So he has only been out of the shelter for a total of 20 days since August. Lucas gets very excited when it's his turn to go outside-he collars easily, and even though he is a big boy. He does not pull on leash, enjoys strolling, sniffing, and rolling in the cool grass for a belly rub. He likes to keep his kennel clean-is on the potty list-so he tries very hard to do his business outside. A reminder of the potty rules is always needed when in a new home environment.
Lucas does need to be the only dog in the home. He did not have good manners when taken to the play yard with a female friend for a play date--therefore it is recommended that Lucas be your one and only pet in the house. Lucas also isn't a fan of cats.
Lucas can be very stoic but can also be a funny goofball--won't you come and meet him today-take him home-and be his family to love
If you're interested in learning more about Lucas, please reach out to our Volunteer Matchmakers at wcac.matchmaker@gmail.com with the subject line "Lucas 243575."
Lucas is ready to go home today - he is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and is already neutered. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.
