About Lucky

Lucky, affectionately known as "Lucky Boy," is a curious twelve-year-old Chihuahua mix weighing twenty-five pounds. He brings a delightful blend of chill and curiosity, making him the perfect companion whether you’re lounging at home or exploring the bustling streets of New York. Right after arriving, he hopped into an Uber as if he had always lived in the city, showcasing his adventurous spirit. This friendly pup enjoys greeting people and gets along well with other dogs, following their lead while playing. If a dog isn't interested in socializing, Lucky politely moves on, proving his gentlemanly nature. Potty trained and a breeze to walk on a leash, he’s also learning commands like 'sit' and catches on quickly. He thrives on long walks filled with plenty of sniffing and is equally happy to relax beside you or take a car ride with his adorable floppy ear catching the breeze. Lucky would flourish in a moderate home that can accommodate his daily outings and give him the time he needs to settle in. He’s suitable as an only dog or with another canine companion, making him a great choice for apartment dwellers. What his foster has to say: "Age is just a number with Lucky! He's a perfect mix of a chill guy at home while enjoying activity and poking around outside." Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
