Story
Luke!!!
Luke Duke came into the A.M.O.R. rescue while still in the womb of his Siberian Husky momma! His momma was an owner surrender in another rescue and was adopted. But then it was realized that momma was pregnant. And was two weeks away from giving birth. Momma's adopter patiently waited for 9weeks until the babies were ready and weaned from momma.
Luke is super cute and very cuddly and so sweet and very goofy.....EVERYTHING you love in a puppy!
His favorite hobby is hanging out and being CHILL. HE LOVES to be PETTED!!! He is also learning the word NO. He understands that some things are a NO NO such as wanting to jump on my legs. He wants to please so much; so that makes him a VERY FAST LEARNER to no jumping on legs.
Luke also LOVES to just hang out in the backyard. He definitely doesn't mind having some "ME" time there all by himself. At times, we literally have to go and leash him and walk him inside! He just nonchalantly walks right by our side and comes inside even though he didn't want to!
He is also learning all about naps and being kenneled and potty training. He is learning that there is a schedule to the day.
Wake up, and go pee and poo outside at 8:30am. Then it is play time. Then eat some breakfast kibble. Then we poop again. Then it is more play time. Back inside for a nap by 10am. Then it is outside again from 1-3pm for a pee/poo/play. A small snack at that time is had. And back in kennel for another nap at 3pm. Up and outside again at 6-8pm for pee/poo/play. Kibble Dinner is at 6:30pm. Lots of hard puppy playing happens from 6-8:30pm. The last nap of day happens from 8:30-10pm. And then the last pee/poo/play break happens from 10-11pm.
Bedtime is by 11pm. Luke sleeps the whole night through and no longer makes a mess in his kennel. If he ever needs to potty while in his kennel, he is quick to whine and bark a bit to let us know that he has to potty and needs out SOOOOON!!! He is a very SMART boy to know that we don't pee/poo where we sleep! But, as a puppy, he will still need training in this aspect for the first year of his life.
And even though Luke does VERY WELL on leash when being brought outside to his kennel inside, he will still need his family to work with on being leash trained on longer walks.
Luke is certainly ready to be in his own home. Are you ready for the smart and cute as a button Luke Duke?
All of Luke's vetting has been done by my personal dogs' vet. The following is a list of what has been done for him...

There are two categories of vaccines: “core” vaccines that are recommended for all pets, and “non-core vaccines” which may be recommended by your vet based on lifestyle and exposure risk. The core vaccine for dogs is the Rabies vaccine, which is required by law. The second core vaccine for dogs is often referred to as the DA2PP or DHPP vaccine. This stands for “Distemper, Adenovirus Type 2 (Hepatitis), Parvo, and Parainfluenza”, meaning that this vaccine protects against FOUR different diseases.
It is especially important for puppies to begin a series of DA2PP vaccines at six to eight weeks of age, as natural immunity obtained from the mother decreases and puppies become very susceptible to potentially life-threatening diseases such as Canine Parvovirus (Parvo). Parvo is transmitted through feces and can remain in the environment for at least one month, and up to a year if the conditions are right. This means that puppies do not need to be directly exposed to another dog that has Parvo in order to contract the disease, and caution is advised when choosing where and how to socialize and exercise your pup. We recommend avoiding exposure to unknown dogs or public places until your puppy has finished their vaccine series. BUT, all A.M.O.R. puppies (1 year old and less) have all FOUR shots. They are safe to join you and your family on your outdoor adventures and you can rest at ease.
Non-core vaccines for dogs include Bordetella, Influenza, Leptospirosis and Lyme. The Bordetella (aka: Kennel Cough) help to prevent highly-contagious respiratory diseases, and are essential for dogs that may be exposed to other dogs, especially in group settings such as dog parks, daycare, or boarding facilities. All A.M.O.R. dogs and puppies are given a Bordatella vaccine. Bordatella boosters are given every 6 months.

The above link is to provide you information regarding why deworming is so important for all dogs of all ages (and for their families).
All A.M.O.R.s are dewormed upon entering the rescue and then again 5 days before their health certificate visit (when they have been adopted and ready to travel). This dewormer is issued per our vet. And all pets are tested, treated (if needed), and retested for coccidia and giardia.
A.M.O.R. provides you with this information so that you can be aware of the work and love that is given to each pet. Each puppy has visited the vet AT LEAST 5 times during their stay with us. They have seen the vet 4 times for their shots and will see the vet 1-2 more times prior to transport in order to obtain a health certificate for travel. Adult dogs have seen the vet AT LEAST 3 times. Two visits for their shots and 1-2 visits prior to transport in order to obtain a health certificate.
Are you ready to have a wonderful time and to give Luke lots of belly rubs??
All animals receive a health certificate (stating that a licensed veterinarian saw the pet and deemed it healthy for travel, but is not a promise of perfect health).
Please email for an A.M.O.R. application in order to be considered.
Please note: this pet is located out of state.
