About Lucas

Lucas is a Plott Hound and Labrador Retriever mix who's nearly seven years old, settling into life as a mature but energetic dog. His family is moving out of state and can't bring him along due to housing restrictions, so he's looking for a new place to call home. Lucas weighs around 50 lbs, is neutered, housebroken, and current on all vaccines. He’s a social dog, friendly with people, other dogs, and kids—his attitude is upbeat and eager for connection. It’s unclear how he feels about cats. Lucas has high energy and truly needs a fenced yard to explore and exercise. If you have a pool, he'll love it in the summer, and a fireplace in the winter would keep him cozy, since he's not a fan of cold weather. He would be happiest with an active family who enjoys outdoor fun and can keep up with his lively spirit. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
