Luther came to rescue in the summer of 2024, found on a remote country road with a badly injured front leg and wary of people and leashes. His rescue took patience: the team gained his trust slowly, feeding him in the woods to keep him away from traffic until he was ready. At first, Luther was terrified and unsure, but once settled, his gentle shepherd nature emerged. The initial trauma made him shy on first meeting, yet once comfortable, he turns fully into a loving companion—he gives hugs, seeks affection, and enjoys calm play with plush toys. He’s now housebroken, crate trained, and does well on a leash. Luther has lived around cats, dogs, and horses and is friendly with all. His old leg injury, likely from a car accident, still bothers him on occasion but won’t need further treatment. Health-wise, he’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on everything. Luther suits a home willing to be patient with an extra-sensitive dog, and with his calm, sweet nature, he’s a genuinely rewarding companion. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
