About Luc

Luc is a 9-month-old German Shepherd-Labrador mix, and he’s turned into a remarkably sweet companion after overcoming a tough past. Rescued as a stray at just 6-7 months old, he has found stability in his foster home and is ready to share his love with a new family. He’s a joyful and affectionate dog, eager to join you in any activity, whether it's going for walks, playing, or snuggling on the couch. Luc interacts wonderfully with both people and dogs, showing no signs of aggression. Though he enjoys playful roughhousing with his foster siblings, he’s quick to pick up on who prefers gentler play. Luc is crate trained, potty trained, and well-socialized. He knows basic commands like sit and approaches treats with care. He’s still learning some manners, such as not jumping on people and leash etiquette. Exposure to horses, cats, and chickens has revealed his curious nature; he initially reacted to horses but is now accustomed to them and keeps a respectful distance from cats. Being a playful pup, Luc may test his boundaries with other dogs, so continued guidance in dog introductions will be key. After all he’s been through, he seeks a patient and loving family to help him thrive. If you’re looking for a loyal walking buddy and cuddle companion, Luc might just be the one for you. Luc is fully vaccinated, neutered, dewormed, and heartworm negative, weighing about 54 pounds. He is ready for adoption and is looking for his forever home. Every adoption helps us rescue more dogs like Luc from the streets, so thank you for considering giving him a loving home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
