Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now! Meet Luca, an adorable 10-month-old Jack Russell and Beagle mix who weighs about 20 lbs and could reach up to 25 lbs fully grown. Luca was rescued from a tough shelter in Houston and is now settling beautifully in his Colorado foster home, waiting for a loving family. According to his foster, Luca is a gentle, social, and incredibly affectionate boy who loves to be near his people. He's playful, follows his humans from room to room, and enjoys both cuddles and playtime. Luca is already showing wonderful leash manners, is very food motivated (which makes training a breeze), and is doing well with potty training. While he’s making good progress with crate training, he’ll need some continued positive reinforcement, especially when left alone, since being with his family is his top priority. Luca would thrive with an adopter who is home often, such as someone retired or working remotely, and he would appreciate having a dog friend in the house to keep him company. Ideal for an individual, a family with older kids, or active retirees, Luca needs a home where he won't be left alone for long stretches and where he’ll receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection. Consistent, positive reinforcement training is required, and Luca’s rescue provides trainer referrals to support his adopter’s success. Luca is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, heartworm negative, and fully vetted. Every Farfel’s adoption comes with a one-week trial to make sure it’s the perfect match! Your new best friend is just one click away.
