Story
WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Hi hi! My name is Luciano!
ARE YOU A GIRL OR A BOY?
I'm a good boy!
HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I was born in September 2015.
WHAT BREED ARE YOU?
American Staffordshire Terrier
HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH?
If I had a driver's license, it would say 60lbs. But I'm a few pounds over that. I won't judge if you don't.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?
Handsome! I have the most AMAZING smile that will guarantee to make you happy just looking at me. My clipped ears are an often talked about feature. But the ladies tell me that my green eyes are mesmerizing.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?
I am a good eater! I eat my kibble, but I also like sweet potatoes, Greek yogurt, watermelon and apples.
WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY DO YOU HAVE?
Whoever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks was definitely not talking about me. I love to try new things. The more I am in new situations, the better I learn to handle it. Most days are pretty normal, though, and I've got a chill vibe with a large dose of loving.
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT DAY:
EAT! Walk. Sleep. Get some cuddles. Back to sleep. Play - I love the water most, but I also love tug-of-war or chase. I like brain games, too. Back to sleep. EAT! All I want to do after that is cuddle and sleep. My day is over!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TOY?
Believe it or not, my favorite thing to play with is water from the hose!
DO YOU KNOW ANY TRICKS?
Sit, Wait, Plotz (lay down), Shake, Return, Leave It, No, and Yes. I've been getting pretty good lately at staying in my designated spot when my foster mom opens the door to get a delivery, too. WOW, impressive, right? Yeah, I'm a pretty smart dude!
WHAT SCARES YOU?
I am not a huge fan of loud banging sounds. Does anyone really like them, though?
HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND CHILDREN? DO YOU LIKE THEM?
Yep! I love kids!!
DO YOU LIKE CATS?
Enh, no thanks... I am not a cat guy.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER DOGS?
I am currently the only dog in my foster home and am pretty particular about letting other dogs into my solo lifestyle. While I was successfully, and slowly, introduced to a puppy in my space, it would be best that I am the only dog in the home. I deserve to be given the royal treatment and have ALL the attention for myself, right?!
IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
On a human lap. Or a dog pool. That's a hard one. Maybe on your lap IN the pool?
HOW IS YOUR HEALTH?
Grrrreat!
WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH IN YOUR FOSTER HOME AND WHO IS YOUR CLOSEST COMPANION?
I live with my foster mom and human brother. I don't choose favorites. I know who to go to depending on what I want.
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I am such a good boy when I am alone! I just hang out on my comfy bed.
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP?
You guessed it... I am all about my bed!
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
I LOVE walks! It has taken a lot of practice, but I am good on a leash. I do best with consistent rules.
DO YOU HAVE ANY "NOT-SO-GREAT" HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? FOR INSTANCE, DO YOU BARK OR DIG IN THE YARD?
I've been known to check the yard for weak spots and to patrol for cats, but when everything is cool, I just like to hang out in the yard and sunbathe. I don't bark much, only when I'm nervous or playing. You could go days and not hear me bark. I admittedly get excited when new people are in the house, or we pass a reactive dog on a walk. My foster mom has learned some strategies to help me calm down faster in these situations. She can teach you, too.
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED? (MEANING DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)
Yep! Got that bit taken care of a long time ago!
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
Let's gooo! Water water water!!
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love them most for cuddles and letting me spend more time outside in the world.
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
I spent a lot of time in a crate and my experiences were very limited. But since I was saved from that life, I have learned how to enjoy every bit of love and fun that I can find. I am hoping to find a family that will give me as much love as I have to share with them. Will you take me home and love me forever?
