About Luke

Luke can hardly contain his joy when he meets new people—this goofy dog is a bundle of puppy energy with a generous dose of wiggles. He’s fully house trained, clearly letting you know when he needs to go outside, either by pawing at the door or with a bark. Luke already knows basic commands like "no," "sit," and "come"—and he’s working on the rest with his strong motivation for treats. High energy comes naturally to him, but given some time to settle, he transforms into an expert snuggler. Luke loves people and gets along with other dogs, though his excitement means he sometimes needs help not overwhelming new canine friends until he settles in. He hasn’t been tested with cats or children just yet, but that's on the schedule. It’s easy to see signs of a rough past—Luke has some scars and cuts from neglect and abuse, but these don’t slow him down or dampen his spirit. He was found underweight, but he’s making steady progress. If your home has room for a loving, resilient companion, Luke could be the one you’ve been searching for.
