Lucky is a 3-year-old Black Mouth Cur/Labrador Retriever mix in Coarsegold, CA who brings a lot of happy energy and love to people he trusts. He’s about 65 pounds, neutered, current on vaccines, microchipped, and is looking for a dedicated, experienced owner who understands that structure is non-negotiable for his success. Lucky loves to romp, play chase, and get involved around the house—even laundry time is fun with him around. He craves a real human connection and likes to relax as a companion after burning off some energy. He already knows basic commands like place, sit, stay, and high five, and continues to improve with positive reinforcement and training. Inside, he’s generally calm—not a digger or a chronic barker—and he’s curbed past chewing habits with consistency. Lucky is crate trained but prefers sleeping near his person. He’s affectionate with adults and older kids, but his enthusiasm means he can knock over little ones, so a home without small children fits him best. Around other dogs, Lucky has shown some dominance and resource guarding; careful, expert introductions would be required if sharing space, though ideally he’d be a solo dog. He needs a securely fenced yard and a present, active owner willing to keep up with his training. Lucky had a single incident outside the home and needs a responsible handler who isn’t passive; someone hands-on, alert to boundaries, and ready to include him as part of daily life. Lucky wants to do right and soaks up love—he just needs a committed person willing to give him a real shot. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
