Story
Luca was a stray and is about a year and a half old. He is house trained, great with kids and other dogs, but he doesn't like cats. Walks well on a leash, does great in the car. Very smart and sweet, can be energetic but is not hyper. Life circumstances have left me wanting to find him a home that can give him all the attention he deserves.
