Meet Luca! This deserving dog has just been released from the Tipton County Animal Shelter, and he's quickly showing everyone what a great companion he can be. Luca has a huge heart and so much love to offer. Here's what you should know about him: he is both house-trained and kennel-trained, making him a joy to have at home. Luca stays quiet and well-behaved in his kennel. He adores other dogs and gets along well with cats too. Playing fetch is one of his favorite activities, and he treasures his toys and bones.
