Lucerne is currently in a foster home. If you would like to meet him, please start by visiting www.sccrescue.org and completing an application. Looking for a young, active best friend? Lucerne is about 11-month-old retriever/collie mix weighing about 30 pounds, and he’s the perfect blend of playful energy and sweet affection. He loves to hug, lean into his people, and soak up all the human attention he can get. Want a dog who bonds deeply with his family? Lucerne can be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly and becomes a loyal, loving companion. He’s dog-friendly, does well with older kids (he may accidentally topple the little ones in his excitement), and enjoys chewing on bones to keep busy. Ready to help a smart young pup continue learning? Lucerne is currently working on polishing his leash skills and perfecting his potty training, and he sleeps nicely in his crate at night. With consistency and encouragement, he’s going to thrive. Can you handle a clever boy with a bit of a mischievous streak? Lucerne has discovered countertops and may sneak a snack if given the opportunity — but with guidance and positive training, this bright pup will channel his smarts in all the right ways. If you’re ready for unlimited hugs, soft cuddles, and a loving adventure buddy, Lucerne is ready to meet you. Interested in adopting this dog? Visit our website (http://www.SecondCityCanineRescue.org) to fill out an application and to find out where this dog may be shown this weekend. We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dog’s individual needs. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don’t know their background. We encourage you to base your decision on individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on our guess. Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near the Chicagoland area. Questions? Email us at adoptions@sccrescue.org. Hope to see you become part of the SCCR family!
