You may remember seeing Luke on our website before, as he was with us from October to February! He was adopted into a loving home, but returned a few weeks later due to his adopter's circumstances suddenly changing.
We were sad that Luke was back at the shelter, but must admit that we do love having this little boy around. We make sure his days are fun-filled-- just look at all his playgroup videos! Luke is Mr. Popular. His nickname here is Luke Licky and that is because he has this habit of greeting all his dog friends with a free teeth cleaning courtesy of his tongue! He loves to lick his friends' mouths and snoots! Luke has had many roommates since he has been in our care. He loves having the companionship of a dog friend in his kennel and in life.
Luke is a special and wonderful soul who has been looking for his permanent home for far too long. We hope his people will hurry up and find him, because he so deserves a place to call home.
Since Luke has spent time in a foster home before being adopted, and then spent two months in an adoptive home, we do know a lot about him! We know that Luke will need a dog pal in order to thrive, so that is something we will require his adopters to have. We would only require that when absolutely needed, as we never want to put barriers up to adoption, but we do feel strongly he needs that.
Due to the recent flooding in our shelter, Luke was placed in the best possible foster home with our staff member Eric, who Luke loves, and Eric's four dogs. Of course Luke gets along great with the dogs.
Luke is also crate trained and housebroken, and basically plays and sleeps and relaxes. Luke is great in the car, too. He is a low-maintenance dude!
We do know that Luke bit scared of kids, and he will bark at them, and he may also bark at new people especially men. We call Luke a "boofer," because after a couple of minutes he is fine. Eric, his current foster dad, has had friends over without issue.
We don't know how people have resisted his Boxer puppy eyes and adorable underbite for so long, I mean COME ON! Luke is so polite and sweet, and deserves an amazing adoptive home once and for all.
Luke's adoption fee is $250. This animal is neutered, is up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
