My story

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

We’re absolutely obsessed with Lucho Lucho Lucho!

This stunning black pittie with warm, whisky-colored eyes is truly one of the most beautiful boys to ever strut through our doors. But he’s more than just a pretty face—Lucho’s got the personality to match.

Found as a lost dog, 1 year old Lucho quickly made it clear he’s a total gem. He’s quiet in his kennel, doesn’t bark at other dogs, and sits politely like the good boy he is when treats are involved. He’s silly in the best way, affectionate with everyone he meets, and just a joy to be around.

Lucho is the kind of dog who makes you forget he was ever a stray—he fits right into your heart like he’s always been there.
