Lucas - a handsome, house-trained companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Lucas is leash trained, knows basic commands like "sit" and "down," and is both treat- and affection-motivated, making him a great candidate for continued training. He's a medium-energy pup who loves being social, whether he's making dog friends or soaking up attention from his favorite people. Despite his playful social side, Lucas also has a mellow streak and enjoys relaxing with his family after a good walk or outing. Lucas would do best in a home with dog-savvy children ages 10+ and other friendly dogs, but he is not a good fit for homes with cats. He can be left alone for short periods (up to about 2 hours), though he does experience some vocal separation anxiety and will benefit from patience, structure, and reassurance. Lucas thrives with clear boundaries and consistent training - he's smart and eager, but without guidance he may test limits and try to run the show. Because Lucas does not have reliable recall, he must always remain on leash or in a secure area. He's known to wander or bolt out the door if given the opportunity, so a vigilant adopter committed to safety and ongoing training is essential. With the right person, Lucas will be a loyal, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining best friend.
