Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.NJ Luke is a sweet boy who is looking for a fresh start. He is now in a NJ foster home! Meet Luke — our initial guess was a Jack Russell Terrier/Mini Schnauzer mix, possibly with a little wire-haired terrier flair thrown in for good measure. But now we think he might have a lot of Schipperke in him -- it's not a breed we considered since they're not all that common, but once you see the hair, the tail, the ears... Whatever his DNA says, one thing is certain: this boy is packed with personality. Luke is smart, loyal, and very devoted to his people. He loves having a person to call his own and is eager to please once he knows you’re on his team. He can be a little hesitant at first when meeting new people, but he warms up very quickly. Treats help a lot during introductions. We're not completely certain of Luke's age - he may be older than we think but also could be younger. He has AMAZINGLY pearly white teeth. He gets the zoomies, loves to play, and keeps us laughing with his entertaining little character. He has met lots of dogs and is living with 4 right now. He may enjoy having a well-matched canine friend—or being the star of the show himself. He also likes to have ALL the toys and balls to himself, and takes great delight in taking everything out of the toy box. He'll play fetch, too! He will steal the ball or toy right from under any of the other dogs. Whatever they have, he wants. His favorite toy is a "Chewbaru" car; he carries it everywhere. He enjoys playing chase with the other dogs in his foster home, and enjoys his neighborhood walks. Luke was adopted and returned because he was too active for the (older) woman who adopted him, and she could tell he needed more stimulation. When he lived in her home for a couple of weeks, he was completely housetrained. However, he is marking in his foster home. We assume that's due to the other dogs. Luke would thrive with someone who understands and appreciates terriers - someone who enjoys a clever, spirited companion and can give him structure, consistency, and plenty of love. In return, you’ll get a loyal little sidekick who will happily keep life interesting. Smart. Spunky. So loyal. Luke is ready to find his person—could it be you? Luke is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. His adoption donation is $500. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 9, 2026, 1:45 pm
