About Lumos

Lumos brings an infectious spark to every room. At a year and a half old, this Boxer and Golden Retriever mix knows how to keep spirits high. Weighing about 45 lbs, he's lean, energetic, and loves to play—whether it's a wild game of fetch or tug of war, he never says no. Lumos enjoys roughhousing with canine buddies and always greets people like they’ve been pals forever. His cheerful nature is matched by his smarts—he knows commands like sit, stay, and paw, and he’s fully house trained, so you’re starting with a great foundation. Lumos thrives in active households, but is best with older kids who can handle his zoomie bursts and energetic goofiness. He’s not a fan of cats, so a feline-free home is ideal. He dreams of a fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and show off his fetching skills. Lumos is being fostered in Warren, RI, and his adoption is open to the Northeastern states. As a Halloween baby, he's got that classic Scorpio spark: lively, intense, and fiercely lovable. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
