About Luke & Lydia

Luke & Lydia showed up lost near a lakeside, where local kids spent an afternoon playing with them. A caring neighbor called for help to make sure these two didn’t end up in danger. They’re a bonded pair—inseparable, playful, and full of personality. Lydia has a charming habit of flashing her teeth in a big smile, probably learned from someone who once doted on her. Both dogs are strong, energetic, good-looking, and ready to pour a ton of joy into your life. They need to be adopted together and absolutely require a big fenced yard to burn off energy. Luke & Lydia are devoted to each other and their next family will be lucky to have double the love.
