About Luke

Meet Sweet Luke! This lovable 4.5-year-old Pit/Boxer/Lab mix is on the lookout for a foster or forever home. Luke was adopted but sadly returned to our rescue after his owner passed away. Currently in Ventura, CA, he can easily be transported to Eastern Washington or Western Montana for the right match. Luke has a fantastic disposition. He is affectionate with his humans and gets along great with other dogs. Fetch is one of his favorite activities, and he brings the ball back with enthusiasm. He’s not a big barker, only responding to other dogs when they bark. Walking on a leash is a breeze for him, although he is a strong boy. With his short coat, he doesn’t shed much, and he is quite treat motivated—perfect for training! Originally rescued from a California shelter due to overcrowding, Luke has had positive interactions with many dogs—he even did well while kenneled with a female dog. He has been good with some cats as well, so it’s best to introduce him slowly. Luke currently weighs about 60 lbs and is ready for his new adventure. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
