About Luther

Luther is a charming 1-2 year-old neutered male retriever mix who was found as a stray and transferred to Northern Chautauqua Canine Rescue Inc. He weighs around 53 lbs and exhibits some hound traits, particularly his love for sniffing and exploring different scents. With a powerful, booming bark, Luther can effectively alert you to arriving guests or vehicles, making him a reliable presence at home. Although initially a bit timid with new faces, Luther is warming up nicely with love and patience. He has clearly had some training, as he knows basic commands, walks well on a leash, and is house trained. This playful pup enjoys his toys and treasures cuddling sessions just as much. Luther is looking for a supportive forever family to help him come out of his shell completely. Interested adopters can take part in our Slumber Party program to see if he is a perfect fit for their home. Whether you're excited about adopting or fostering, Luther is ready to meet his new family soon! Click apply to start the adoption process.
