Luke - Adopted 7/12/03

Luke is a 5 year old sable and white male.  He was an owner surrender, but came in with
another dog.  They lived in filth in a small outdoor pen and came to us terribly matted and covered in feces.  A very kind and generous groomer has helped make Luke all pretty, but it was necessary to have patches shaved off from him (especially on his underside) where the mattes were too thick to brush out.  Luke has been neutered since coming into rescue.  He is very smart and can open gates!  He is learning to be an indoor dog.

Luke is current on his shots.  Luke weighs in at 66.5 lbs, and is average height.  He is so easy going and loves attention.  Because his previous owner didn't take the time with him, he does not know any commands nor had he been on a leash.  He is now doing good on the leash - a faster learner!  We are working on sit and down, so more training will help.  He is doing fine indoors, which he now prefers.  He loves raw hides.  He pretty much ignores the cats.  Our dogs and Luke try to start barking protest but are quickly stopped.  He is just so happy the he gets some attention that I think he would do anything for anyone.  He was never in a car, but does great.  He adapts to any situation that has been presented to him so far.  One of our dogs is on medication so everyone profits from this, he just loves cocktail hot dog hour.

Luke is being fostered in Minneapolis, MN.
