My story

　　Howdy, my name is Luke.  I am a precious sweet, good looking boy that just wants to find his forever loving home.   I am such a gentle soul.  My Daddy escaped his pen one night and met up with my darling Mom who is part lab.  Needless to say, they didn’t follow the rules and I was created.  I just turned 7 yrs old, yep, they neutered me, I am orange and white, utd date on all my vaccines and I do take HW and FT prevention.  I am also crate trained.  I really am not a problem at all, just need someone to understand that I need to get settled.  I went through hw treatment, and it has been a good 90 days since and I am showing negative now.

　　If you would like to open your home to me, I would be soooooo appreciative you.   I would like a calm home and a fenced in yard to roam, sun and play in.  I am very, very laid back.  Sadly, I need to have a privacy fence, as I can climb the highest Chain-link fence you could find.   When I first went into boarding, there wasn’t a roof on my pen, and I climbed over and was sitting in a basket waiting for someone to come rescue me.  My Foster Mom has a picture of me just sitting there looking quite handsome.  One sad thing about me is I do shed.  I think if I get good food, brushed and a special shampoo that will help, but I need to be honest about my downfalls.  Only two isn’t bad right?!  chain-link and shed.  I am hoping because I am so adorable and such a good sweet laid back boy that will be overlooked.  Please consider loving me, for all I want is love and a loving kind home.

　　I do get along with other dogs.  Cats do stress me out, so please no cats.  I won’t hurt them, but I have to keep an eye on them at all times, it stresses me, as I know they are going to get me in my sleep.  I just know it.  I heard all about these Ninja cats.  VERY SCARY!!!!

　　Please consider a loyal best buddy.  I really would love my very own home.  Reason I am in rescue is because my Hoodad got sick and had to go into an assisted living home and I couldn’t go with him. Nothing that I did wrong.  Oh, and I forgot, Foster Mom giggles at me, as when I get excited, I chomp my teeth.  They think it is funny.  You can hear the giggling in the video, as they find it funny.  Plus, I just had a dental (No teeth pulled, all good)  and had the black dot on my face removed this week.  I am all set and ready for you to open up your home.
