About Luke

Meet Luke! Luke is a big boy with a lot of energy and potential! At just 15 months old, he weighs in at 90 pounds and embodies the confident and friendly spirit of a young German Shepherd. This handsome fellow is ready for a new home where his energetic personality can shine. He's looking for someone who understands the joys (and challenges) of life with a young shepherd. Good news—Luke is already house-trained and crate-trained. He currently lives with another dog and does well with canine companions. He enjoys treats, toys, and engaging with people but is still learning to channel his enthusiasm into good manners. When excited, he tends to jump up, making a home with small children less than ideal. Luke needs more than just shelter; he requires structure, consistent training, exercise, and mental stimulation. In return, you'll gain a fun-loving companion who can grow into an incredible partner. If you're ready to help a big, enthusiastic dog reach his full potential, Luke could be the match you've been searching for! Luke's wish list includes a committed family, continued training, and plenty of toys and exercise. He has the enthusiasm and potential, and all he needs now is your guidance to thrive.
