About Luke Barks

Meet Luke Barks, the playful little guy who's all about zoomies, kisses, and cozy lap snuggles. This 3.5-month-old Labrador Retriever mix has two speeds: chasing his toys and racing in for affection. After spending his early days in a shelter, he's now ready for his forever home in Buffalo. Luke has his crate training down pat and happily zooms in at mealtime. He’s still working on potty training but is eager to learn with the right guidance. While he loves playing with other dogs, he prefers some gentle fun over roughhousing. Luke is great with kids, though he’s still mastering his excitement and learning to keep his jumping and mouthing in check. This rambunctious pup is looking for a family ready to help him grow and explore all the joys of puppyhood. Are you ready to make space in your heart and home for Luke? Your new adventure starts here!
