About Luke

Luke wins folks over fast with his quirky underbite and eager, sweet nature. He’s an adult Mountain Cur built on the larger side, somewhere in the 40–55 pound range. At home, you’ll catch him working on his catching skills or happily trotting beside you on a leash—he’s always up for a walk and explores the neighborhood with obvious delight. Luke settles easily with another dog in the house and plays well, but he’s absolutely not a fit with cats. When left alone, he can be trusted in the home, though separation makes him sing—he howls when lonely, so apartment or condo life would be rough for everyone involved. Luke would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time. He’s sociable, energetic, and has that "velcro dog" vibe, sticking close to his person. A fenced yard would be a bonus for his play sessions. Like all rescue pups, Luke will benefit from structure and continued basic training. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
