About Luka

Luka was left behind when his previous owners moved out, but he didn’t let that change his friendly outlook. He’s about 7 years old and has proven himself to be both leash trained and a strong listener. House and kennel training are already checked off his list, so he easily fits into daily routines. Luka is living in a foster home where his gentle, sweet side continues to show. He’s fantastic with people and gets along well with kids. Out on runs, Luka’s a steady partner with plenty of energy. When it comes to other dogs, he’s shown some resource guarding and can get reactive at fences—this makes him a better fit as an only dog, or with an adopter experienced in managing these behaviors. Luka did live with a cat previously but benefits from a slow introduction. He’ll excel most with a privacy fence and humans who respect his boundaries. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
