Story
Meet Luke 🐾🤎 The Goofiest Little Hopster!
Luke is a 5-month-old Lab mix who is growing into one very special, slightly derpy, completely lovable puppy! 😂 With his quirky personality, playful spirit, and signature bunny-hop running style, Luke is guaranteed to keep you entertained. He's a little goofy, a little awkward, and 100% his own kind of special.
Luke is a playful, energetic pup who absolutely LOVES other dogs. Sometimes, though, he forgets that not every dog wants to be his best friend or participate in his wrestling match. 😂 He can be a little too enthusiastic and right in another dog's face when all he wants to do is play!
Because of this, if Luke joins a home with another dog, we recommend a canine companion who genuinely enjoys playing, can tolerate puppy energy, and won't get easily annoyed by his enthusiastic approach to friendship. The good news? Luke is currently coexisting just fine with dogs of different ages and sizes. We simply want to make sure his future canine sibling is a good match for his very enthusiastic play style!
Luke is also crate trained and uses a doggie door, giving him a great head start on life in a home. He's still a growing puppy who will need continued training, guidance, patience, and plenty of opportunities to burn off that puppy energy.
A Little Something Special About Luke 👂🐾
When we first started noticing that Luke wasn't responding to sounds like other puppies, we suspected he might be deaf. As he's grown, however, he's started showing that he can hear certain things! While we don't know exactly how well he can hear, we do know that he may have some hearing limitations.
His future family should be comfortable using visual cues, hand signals, and consistent routines alongside any sounds he does respond to. Recall may be less reliable, so keeping Luke leashed or safely contained in unsecured areas will be especially important. He's absolutely capable of learning; he may simply need his humans to communicate with him a little differently. ❤️
So, who is the right family for Luke?
Luke needs someone who sees what makes him different and embraces it. Someone who can laugh at his goofy bunny hops, appreciate his quirky little personality, provide consistent training, and give him the patience and support he needs to thrive.
He's not your average puppy, and that's part of what makes him so special. We want a family who will look at Luke and see not what makes him different, but all the wonderful things that make him uniquely Luke.
He's ready to find his people—the ones who will give him the best possible life and love every derpy, wiggly, hop-filled minute of it. 🤎🐰
