Hey there! Meet Lucas, an adorable 12-month-old beagle lab hound mix with a heart for friendship. This sweet and happy boy is not just cute; he’s super smart too! Potty training nailed by 3 months, already learned to walk nicely on a leash, and by 5 months even off-leash trained, which is pretty impressive for his age! Lucas absolutely adores his humans and has a great time making friends with other dogs—he’s a real pack dog at heart! Best in a pack but his humans are everything for him. He’s also respectful around kitties and any other critters he's come across. Though he may still be a puppy, Lucas has already mastered his basic training! He’s a total cuddlebug who loves to snuggle up, but he’s equally excited for playtime, goofing around, and embarking on new adventures with his favorite people and doggie buddies. With his observant and patient nature, Lucas is always eager to please, ready to learn, and have fun. If you’re on the lookout for a loving and loyal, easy, fun, happy, sweetheart and best friend, Lucas is your guy! If I had to describe Lucas, he's easy, simple, very obedient, and loving. He is a sweet soul who loves too much. He really enjoys his humans and follows their lead. Lucas is eager to please and happy to follow. He is contemptuous of sharing our space. Lucas needs a home with playful dogs, a fenced-in yard, and an active, outgoing family who will continue to train and socialise. He loves his walks. Lucas is house and crate trained. He has met and done great with dogs of all kinds, old and young, big and small. 4 pounds to 160 pounds. He is respectful of cats, Rabbits, turtles, bird flocks, and farm critters. Lucas is a kid of all ages friendly too. •Friendly with- Children - Cats - Rabbits - Dogs - Small-breed dogs - Senior pets. **All Adoptions Include:** - Spay/Neuter procedure - Rabies vaccination (offered with 1 or 3-year options) - Comprehensive core vaccinations, including Leptospirosis and Coronavirus (available for 1 or 3 years) - Negative heartworm test (if of age) - Monthly prevention for heartworm, fleas, and ticks - Negative Lyme disease test - Deworming and negative fecal test - Completion of all necessary testing within the last 6-12 months - All age-appropriate medical needs addressed (blood work, dental check-ups, testing, and medications) - Lifetime microchip registration with free unlimited updates - A recommendation to feed a high-quality protein diet •Veterinary records included **Adoption Processing:** - The review of adoption applications, meet and greet, and citation can take up to three weeks. - A minimum of two meet-and-greet sessions with dogs is required before adoption. - A home check visit may be requested. - Out-of-state adopters are welcome at their own expense. - We DO NOT ship our adoptable pets. - Adoption fees are payable at the time of adoption. - No money exchange or requests are required before adoption. - Payment plans are not available.
