Story
If you’ve been waiting for a dog who feels less like a whirlwind and more like coming home at the end of a long day, you’re going to want to meet Luca Doodles. From the moment you meet him, there’s an undeniable calm about him, the kind of presence that makes people instantly soften, smile, and lean in for one more pet. With his plush teddy-bear looks and gentle, soulful eyes, Luca Doodles doesn’t demand attention… he simply earns it by being exactly who he is.
Watch his video and fall in love with this sweet guy: https://youtu.be/IO5DAfrfB84?si=slDEvh-AyW90V14L
Luca Doodles is believed to be a Goldendoodle mix approximately 8 years old and currently weighs 61 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
Luca is incredibly people-loving and greets everyone with quiet sweetness, like a friend he’s known forever. He lives beautifully alongside children and truly enjoys being part of a family environment. He’s patient, kind, and happy simply being included, whether that’s lounging nearby during family time, supervising playtime, or soaking up gentle affection whenever it’s offered. He has a naturally easygoing nature that makes him a wonderful companion for a home with kids. At the end of the day, Luca is happiest just being part of your world. Quietly nearby during busy mornings, relaxing beside you in the evenings, and offering steady affection that never feels overwhelming.
With other dogs, Luca enjoys companionship more than playtime. He’s perfectly happy sharing space, relaxing together, or calmly coexisting rather than engaging in rowdy games. He appreciates the presence of other dogs but isn’t concerned with roughhousing or high-energy play. If another dog wants to relax, explore the backyard, sunbathe together, and simply enjoy each other's company, Luca is more than happy to do the same. He brings a peaceful, balanced energy to a home with canine friends.
Luca also met our house cat Biggie and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. He did not chase Biggie, nor was he bothered by Biggie jumping or doing what cats do. Biggie also felt comfortable around him as well. We do not know if Luca has ever lived in a home before with a cat and this was our first time seeing him with a cat. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for him to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know!
Luca strikes that beautiful balance so many families look for. Affectionate without being demanding, calm without being withdrawn, and always ready to offer loving companionship. He’s the kind of dog who fits naturally into your rhythm, whether that means relaxing evenings at home, gentle outdoor time, or simply keeping you company throughout the day. He would love a home with a backyard where he can wander, enjoy the sunshine, and take in all the good smells at his own pace. While he enjoys time outdoors, his favorite place will always be close to his people, soaking up love and sharing peaceful moments together.
Luca is wonderfully well-mannered. He’s crate trained, potty trained, and already knows how to sit. He aims to please and responds beautifully to gentle guidance. More than anything, Luca wants to make his people happy, that’s truly what this sweet boy is all about. On walks, Luca is a wonderful companion. He strolls nicely on leash, enjoying fresh air and quiet exploration rather than rushing from place to place. He’s just as happy heading out for a neighborhood walk as he is settling in afterward for a cozy nap beside you. Car rides are easy for him, and he’s always content to tag along wherever life takes you.
If you’ve been searching for a loyal companion with a calm heart, a gentle spirit, and endless love to give, Luca is ready to step into his next chapter and become your devoted best friend.
We are willing to test Luca Doodles with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
