LUCA NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!
Come meet Luca and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (Dec. 7th) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Alexandria, VA (3351 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305)!
Name: Luca Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd/terrier mix
Best Guess for Age: 7 months as of December 2025 SEX: Male
Estimated Weight (he is still growing): 40 pounds as of 10/15/2025
Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with kids or cats but are happy to discuss integration techniques with potential adopters.
Currently Living at: DC area foster home.
Special Adoption Considerations:
Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think this pup would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure they can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes.
Luca is Looking For: Hiya! I'm Luca! You can watch a video of my rescue in Puerto Rico here: https://youtube.com/shorts/uT4qlY7lLQw?feature=share.
I'm looking for my forever family! I can't wait to explore my new neighborhood on lots of walks, and I'd really like to make a bunch of doggie friends along the way. But most of all I want to know I'm safe and loved, where I belong. I have so many kisses and so much love and loyalty to give in return. What do you say? Do I get to go home with you?
What My Foster Says About Me: Luca is very mindful, cutesy, and demure. He is getting used to meeting new people and he knows you are a friend he has so much love to give. He sleeps through the night and when he’s not napping is eager to play. He’s mindful to not touch shoes or other items aside from his toys in the house (his foster has been very impressed and grateful she didn’t have to hide all her shoes). He likes to watch the street from windows in his foster’s sun room or watch the backyard and alley from a perch at the top of the backyard stairs. He loves meeting new dogs and is eager to play with them.
Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online bit.ly/adoptaluckydog
