My story

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

(DOB 1/11/2025) Due to Lucas’s young age, he has not yet been neutered. For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC). 



Lucas a big-hearted St. Bernard mix with a goofy grin and a guardian’s soul. Lucas is a young, sweet boy who’s equal parts protector and cuddle bug. He’s the kind of dog who forms deep, loyal bonds with his people and shows his love with full-body tail wags, happy zoomies, and endless requests for belly rubs. Lucas prefers to be the only dog in his home; he truly loves having all the attention to himself; his big personality easily fills the room with joy, laughter, and love.



This handsome pup is still growing and learning. Lucas would thrive with a confident, experienced handler who understands large breeds and can offer consistent structure, patience, and positive training. He’s a quick learner and loves having tasks, enrichment activities, and plenty of playtime throughout the day to keep his body and mind busy.



Lucas needs a home with a secure, tall, fenced yard (perferably not rirght next to another dog's fence) and at least one active human who can devote time to him and his training. He’s a strong boy who enjoys outdoor adventures but is still mastering his leash manners. Because he can be startled by loud noises like fireworks, thunder, or lawn mowers, a calm home with space to retreat would help him feel safe and comfortable. No young children due to his size and energy.



He’s got a few puppy habits—like counter surfing and exploring things he shouldn’t—but with consistent guidance and love, he’ll continue to grow into the loyal, well-mannered companion he’s meant to be. Lucas sleeps peacefully in his own room at night and loves his routine of regular potty breaks and play sessions.



Lucas is looking for a person(s) that will see how amazing he is and see what an extraordinary heart BIG heart he has. With the right person, someone patient, strong, and devoted, he’ll give back tenfold with love, laughter, and the kind of loyalty only a guardian like him can offer. With his sweet nature, goofy antics, and loyalty, Lucas is the kind of companion who makes every day better. He’s ready to be your shadow, your workout buddy, and your best friend. Ready to add love, laughter, and a little chaos to your life? Lucas is waiting!



If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime companion who’ll adore you completely and keep life full of heart and adventure, Lucas is waiting to meet you. 



As part of Lucas’s $325 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. In addition to the adoption fee, a $100 spay/neuter deposit and puppy spay/neuter agreement will also be required. The deposit will be returned once the puppy is altered.  If you have questions about this sweet little boy, you can email  Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Lucas, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1. Review the description of the pet you are interested in to make sure that the information we have fits with your particular needs and desires. In most cases, the information on the website is current and gives the information that we have about the particular pet. The picture of the pet does not tell the whole story.

2. Complete the adoption application at https://pawsforlifenc.org. Please make sure that you give us as much information about yourself as you can. List all animals currently living with you including other dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rodents. The application needs to be complete in order to help us determine if the pet you have chosen is a good match for your home.

3. Once the application is submitted we will contact you, your references, and your vet.

4. We require a home visit prior to dog adoptions.

5. If more than one person applies, we will go with the BEST fit. If all things are equal, we go in the order the applications were received.

6. Once the home visit has been completed, you will be asked to complete an adoption agreement.

7. The adoption fee is $325 for dogs under 6 months, $300 for 6 months and older. The adoption fee is $125 for kittens under 1 year ($225 for 2 kittens), $85 for cats 1 year and older. This fee helps us to provide the necessary medical care and other needs for the pets while in foster care.

8. All Paws For Life NC pets are spayed or neutered if old enough, current on shots, micro chipped, and to our knowledge, in good health before they are adopted out. Puppies under 6 months of age will require a $100 refundable spay/neuter deposit in addition to the adoption fee and a special puppy spay/neuter agreement. Kittens under 6 months will require a $50 refundable spay/neuter deposit in addition to the adoption fee. We are all volunteers and receive no monetary compensation for our work with the pets. The adoption fee is used to help defray costs in the rescue and care of the pets.

9. Congratulations! You are on your way to having your new companion. We hope that you and your new companion share a life of love and happiness. We welcome any comments you may wish to give us about your pet at any time.
