About R Lucky

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Say hello to Lucky, a devoted and food-motivated gentleman with plenty of character. Lucky is a 12-year-old, 75 lb black and white Border Collie mix who has been a beloved, housebroken companion since puppyhood. He’s eager to please and knows a variety of fun commands such as sit, down, shake, and play dead, making him both entertaining and easy to train, especially when treats are involved. Lucky’s ideal home is a calm, peaceful environment where he can be the center of your world. Because he can be selective, he needs to be the only pet in the home and is best suited for a family without young children or elderly members. Though he hasn’t needed a crate recently, he was crate-trained as a younger dog and is comfortable with structured routines. Lucky’s vaccinations are current through February 2025, and he comes with a 4-month supply of flea/tick prevention. If you’re searching for a faithful senior dog to brighten your days and share a loving bond, Lucky is ready for his next chapter with someone who truly understands him and can offer the attentive home he deserves.
