Meet Lucky, a resilient soul who has already faced more challenges than most! 🎉 Coming from a small rural shelter in Kentucky, he unfortunately had an unfortunate encounter with some nasty pellets. But fear not, because this brave pup emerged unscathed, with his beautiful eyes still twinkling brightly! At about 3 to 4 years old, Lucky is a living testament that things do get better. He's healed up and ready to find a family who will shower him with the love he so deeply deserves! Lucky is not just a remarkable survivor; he’s also a gentle companion. Weighing in at around 30 pounds, he’s a quiet boy, good with other dogs, and open to the idea of cohabiting with cats—although it seems his current feline friends are a bit frightened of him! Who could blame them? 😂 With a mix of possibly German Shepherd in his genes, and a docked tail that wags with delight, he’s roughly the size of a larger beagle, making him the perfect cuddle buddy. Now, let’s be honest: Lucky is on a little adventure to become totally house trained. When he first arrives in his new home, treating him like a puppy will work wonders! Frequent potty breaks and loads of love will help him kick those occasional marking habits to the curb. While a fenced yard for him to frolic in would be fantastic, it’s not a hard requirement. What’s most important is that he finds a family who wants him as a loving house dog, not just a backyard pup. 🏡 Lucky is getting the hang of leash walking too! He may need a bit of patience and positive training to perfect his skills, but with time, he will be strutting confidently alongside his new family. 🌟 His new family will also be expected to keep him healthy with regular Heartworm prevention and vaccinations, in line with their vet’s protocols. If there’s one thing Lucky believes in, it’s a bright future, and now it’s time for him to find that forever home! Don’t miss your chance to make a difference in his life.
