Lucious is a 2-year, 6-month-old male American Bulldog with a large frame and a white or cream coat. He is vaccinated and currently residing in St. Peters, MO. Lucious cannot be neutered yet due to his severe heartworm condition, and he requires a calm environment for treatment and healing.

About Lucious

Lucious was left outside with just a bed and a bag of food, but he never lost his trust in people. Instead of running, he approached anyone nearby, hoping for a helping hand. Today, he’s facing a tough battle: Lucious is severely heartworm positive, and his heart is enlarged. He can’t be neutered yet; the focus right now is on getting him through heartworm treatment. His activity is strictly limited to resting quietly. This sweet American Bulldog needs a calm foster home in the St. Peters, MO area to get through his recovery. Everything is covered—vet care, medication, food, toys—he just needs a soft couch and someone who believes in second chances. Lucious gets along with other dogs but not with cats. Toys bring him comfort (sometimes he gets a little too enthusiastic, but it shows his playful spirit). If you can open your home to help him heal, he doesn’t want to go through it alone. Lucious is a Sagittarius, born for resilience and hope. Click apply to start the adoption process.
