Meet Lucas, the delightful 4-year-old English Coonhound mix, tipping the scales at a robust 95 pounds! This sweet boy has a heart as big as his stature, having been rescued after being abandoned and left to fend for himself in North Carolina. Can you imagine the gratitude? 🙏 The moment this big fella was saved and taken off the streets, he let out a sigh of relief, knowing he was finally safe! Lucas thrives on love, companionship, and a good play date with his doggy friends. 🌟 He’s a social butterfly who adores older, dog-savvy kids (8 and up), as they know how to engage with him without overwhelming his big, sweet spirit! Ideally, he’d love a family with a fenced-in yard where he can “namaste” all day when the hustle and bustle gets too intense. Picture him stretching out under the sun—pure bliss! ☀️ When it comes to mealtime, Lucas prefers his meals served in a nice, private setting—no family-style dining for him, thank you very much! He is all about that peaceful dining experience, which has nothing to do with his previous Olive Garden adventures, we promise! 😂 This boy is a toy aficionado! He enjoys playing with his humans, and while he may only know a few commands like “sit” and “drop it,” with the right family and tasty treats, his potential to learn is limitless! 🍖 His foster family describes him as a loving cuddle bug who craves attention and is just a big softie at heart. They’ve taken him on adventures, including trips to Lowe's, where he was ever so well-behaved, sticking closely to their side. And here’s the cherry on top—Lucas is not just a sweet soul; he’s a big baby who’s recovering beautifully from an ear/eye infection. With his medical issues now behind him, he’s ready to leap into his new life of love! ❤️ Now, for the fun fact: Lucas could stand to lose a few pounds, but don't worry! The right family will help him turn that into a playful mission. 🚀 So, why not be the one to nurture this boy back to optimal health with love and outdoor adventures?
