About Lucas

Lucas is a charming baby boy who joined his foster family at just three months old. He has mastered potty training, with only the rare accident if he hasn't been taken out before being kenneled for a while. He’s treat motivated and is diligently working on commands like sit, stay, and controlling his excitement when playtime begins. This mellow puppy boasts exceptional manners and is an expert snuggler, often opting to sleep through the night nestled closely beside you. Lucas is friendly and enjoys playing with his foster sister. He’s learning that car rides can be fun, though he’s still adjusting to walking on a leash, which he's a bit timid about. His diet includes Merrick puppy food, fueling his playful spirit. Lucas would make a lovely addition to any family looking for a companion who loves affection and is eager to learn.
