My story

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

🐾 Meet Luke – A Loyal, Loving Companion in the Making! 🐾

Luke is a beautiful, big-hearted boy with a mellow soul and a strong, intelligent presence. This 2–4 year old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix weighs about 70 lbs and is ready to find his forever home! He’s incredibly affectionate, loves being by your side, and has that classic shepherd loyalty.

He’s still getting used to indoor life — he may have never lived in a house before — but he’s learning fast and thriving in foster care.

✨ Luke at a glance:

* 🐶 Male | 2–4 years old | 70 lbs
* ✂️ Neutered and crate trained
* 🧠 Extremely intelligent and quick to learn
* 🐕 Dog-friendly – no small dogs
* 🐾 Unknown with cats or small children
* 🚶‍♂️ Walks well on leash
* 🚗 Rides well in the car
* 🍖 Loves food, soft toys, marrow bones, tug-of-war, and pets
* 🧹 Sound sensitive – barks at mechanical noises like the dishwasher and vacuum, but doesn't panic
* 🎆 Fireworks make him seek a quiet spot like the bathtub, but he handles them calmly
* 🛡️ Will make a good watch dog

Luke is laid-back, loving, and eager to bond. He hasn’t had formal training but is incredibly smart and receptive. He needs a home with someone experienced in shepherds or working breeds who can offer structure, patience, and love.

More about this shelter

Hello! Thanks for checking us out. We are a 501-c3 non profit rescue and rehab service in Tucson, AZ

We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs from the streets of Mexico in cooperation with other animal rescue organizations in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Our shelter in Hermosillo, Sonora, Vidas Con Causa, currently has over 150 dogs. There, we provide medical care and a loving place for them to heal before coming to the US, then we foster and work on finding the perfect fit for adoption. You can also visit the available dogs at the rescue in Mexico. Our rescue partners spend a lot of time getting to know the dogs and we know MOST of their
perks and quirks!

We help special needs dogs, the amputees, the pregnant Pitties, the MexiMutts, those from small independent shelters who don't get much notice, the cancer patients. We provide round-the-clock care until these dogs are ready for rehoming.
