Hi there! My name is Luka, your best friend!
My besties at OHS say I am a friendly, happy, silly, and handsome boy who is sure to make you smile and bring so much love into your life! I may be big, but that won't stop me from trying to be a lap dog. Snuggling with hoomans is just the best feeling ever!
I LOVE to go on adventures, run, and explore! Being so
high energy means I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish. I am also a pretty eager guy as I get so stoked for walks that I tend to pull. I can't help it; walkies are so much fun!
My sense of adventure is so great that I have a history of
escaping doors by bolting through them when they open. You will need to keep an eye on me when you open doors as I may want to visit the neighbors! I am super smart and love to learn though! Some treats and positive reinforcement would be a great way to work on this with me (and become fast friends!)
While I love my people/friends, I can be
shy and nervous around new people, new surroundings and handling. Including but not limited to medical/grooming and restraint. I will need someone who can help offer a little extra guidance and patience in these situations. Kids can overwhelm me too so I need to go to an adult only home.
I am what people like to call an attention hog and love all eyes, ears, and pets on me! This means I can be picky about my dog friends and will need to
meet any large canine companions prior to getting adopted. I must go to a home without cats, small dogs, livestock, and small animals.
I can have a hard time sharing. I have a history of
resource guarding my food from people. I love treats so the best way to work on this is to swap out whatever I have with something yummy. Have I mentioned I love treats? Hotdogs and cheese may or may not be my favorite ;)
Being such a silly, fun, amazing, high energy boy, I require quite a bit of time and patience. I work best with structure and routine (and treats hehe).
If you're interested, I would love to meet you! I am part of the
Diamond in the Ruff program, which you can learn more about
here. Be prepared to pay the cheese tax though, I'll be waiting!
