Meet Luke! Luke is a gorgeous, fun loving, happy Border Collie / Retriever mix, who we think is about 2-3 years old. He loves meeting new people, especially when he can flop over at their feet for a belly rub. Luke will be perfect for anyone who doesn't want to go through any major training or puppy issues, but does want to work on all sorts of fun games and tricks. He already knows tons of commands including: sit, down, stay, up, shake a paw and sit pretty (we're discovering new commands that he already knows all the time). He's smart and quick, and may also be interested in trying something like agility. Luke enjoys car rides, and wouldn't mind a little pampering, including regularly brushing his long luxurious coat! He's happy to have his nails done too -- what a prince!! Kids would be ok for Luke, as he's quite gentle and seems to enjoy their company. He also enjoys meeting other dogs, and has engaged...

He's happy to have his nails done too -- what a prince!! Kids would be ok for Luke, as he's quite gentle and seems to enjoy their company. He also enjoys meeting other dogs, and has engaged in some play, but is still a little bit reserved. Luke knows that cats are friends not food, but he does find them pretty intriguing. If he's going to live with a feline friend, it should be be an assertive, dog-savvy cat. Luke is in foster care in Central Ottawa with one male dog, one senior female dog and a cat. He's doing great, but is still stressed when crated and left alone. This isn't too surprising as Luke was all alone in a rural pound for several weeks and hasn't quite learned that he no longer has anything to worry about! Luke is healthy, neutered, up to date on routine shots, heart worm tested (negative) and ready to go! He was named Luke, by the way, because he reminds his foster parents of the wonderful Border Collie named "Cool Hand Luke" in Patricia McConnell books (a well known dog trainer).
