About Lucky

Lucky is a goofball and a go-getter. He thrives on cuddles and attention. In his foster home, he followed his family everywhere and loved being outside with them. A food lover, he's gentle when taking treats. Although he still pulls a bit on the leash, he's making progress. Lucky is already potty-trained and would whine by the door when he needed to go out. Just keep in mind that any dog may need time to adapt to a new routine. He gets along well with kids, including younger ones, but his size means he should be in a home with older children who can handle his exuberance. Lucky is friendly with other dogs, although his puppy energy might be too much for some. An introduction with potential dog friends is a must. While he has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia in one hip, Lucky is still ready to find his forever home. Click apply to start the adoption process.
