About Lucius: Loyal Luci Needs

Lucius has all the makings of a beach boy—confident, energetic, and always looking for his next adventure. He’s got a striking look and loves brisk walks or jogs, but what really lights him up is time on the beach with his foster family. He’s always up for exploring new trails, and his curiosity keeps every outing interesting. Lucius left the Rocky Mount shelter on the last day, narrowly missing euthanasia, and hasn't stopped wagging since. He's generous with his greetings, approaching everyone with enthusiasm. Shelter reports and his foster confirm Lucius is easygoing with other dogs, big or small, and doesn’t overreact to new canine encounters. At around two years old, he's a young adult with plenty of zest for life and adventure ahead. He’s housebroken, waits politely to go out, and if left alone in the yard, can keep himself entertained. Lucius is a born travel companion who jumps in the car with no trouble and genuinely enjoys road trips. If an affectionate and spirited family dog is on your wishlist, Lucius fits the bill. He’s fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, and will soon be neutered and microchipped. He weighs about 46 pounds and would love a home where he can show off his friendly charm and love of activity.
