About Lucas

Lucas is a charming Alaskan Malamute and Shepherd mix looking for a forever home. His journey began in Tijuana, where he was born to a stray mother rescued by a kind soul. At around 2 years old, Lucas is neutered, vaccinated, and weighs 38 pounds. He can be a little shy initially, but with a bit of time, his gentle and sweet personality shines through. In his foster environment, Lucas plays well with other dogs and absolutely adores children. However, he's eager for more space and opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Currently, he's being fostered in Tijuana, with transportation options available to Los Angeles County. Lucas deserves a family that can provide the love and patience he needs to truly thrive. Could you be the one to give him a real home?
