Labrador Retriever [Mix]

Can't adopt but want to help? Please contact Lisa at ldwalthers@yahoo.com to find out about sponsorship, fostering, and other ways you can help this animal! Please note that financial sponsorship will be applied to the specific animal you indicate unless it is not needed, at which time we will let you designate it for another HT animal of your choice.

You can save animals like Lucky Luke by becoming a foster! Fosters are like way stations between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters, so that they have more time to find a permanent family. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please click here and email the questionnaire to fosterdog@homewardtrails.org.

Hello, My name is Lucky Luke. It used to just be Luke, but after you hear my story you will know why Lucky was added.

I have lived my entire life on the end of a very short chain out in the hot Georgia sun and my feet have never felt grass. The people who were supposed to care for me did not feed me and I am skin and bones. I have raw spots and fly bites all over me. Caring4Creatures came to my rescue and saved me (Lucky story #1).

After I was neutered and brought up-to-date on my shots, I was put on a transport heading to New York. I escaped - hey, I did not know I was going to go a good place. I was later caught by animal control in the Roanoke area before getting hit by a car (Lucky story #2).

Some nice people from Dogs Deserve Better came to pull me out of the shelter and now I am living in Arlington trying to find a new home (Lucky story #3).

Homeward Trails is helping me find the perfect home (Lucky story #4).

As you can see, I am a very lucky boy. My foster mom says that I look great now and you would never know that things were tough.

I am crate trained and no accidents in the house. I LOVE to play fetch and understand when you say "release" and "where is your ball" (with and open arms gesture). I will bring the ball back to your feet, and to sit before the ball is thrown. I also know how to sit, down, kennel, bed, off, heel (to a certain degree), shake, and more. I am perfect with people and I sit very pretty while you are petting me.

Please contact my foster mom if you would like to meet me and help me learn the world off a chain.
