Lucas

** If you are interested in adopting Lucas, please fill out our adoption application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ **<br/><br/>Lucas is a handsome, 2 year old, 30 lb Aussie / Red Heeler mix with the sweetest smile and an even sweeter heart. This adorable little guy has already overcome more in his young life than any dog ever should.<br/><br/>Lucas is coming to us from a rescue group in Texas, after being seized from a large-scale cruelty case in late 2025. After spending months waiting for the legal process to conclude, he was finally released into our care and given the chance to start over. When he first arrived with our rescue partners, Lucas was scared and confused...understandably! <br/><br/>Today, Lucas is blossoming more every single day. His goofy personality is starting to shine through, and he has discovered that cuddles with his favorite people are actually pretty wonderful! Watching him learn how to be a carefree, happy dog has been one of the most rewarding things, and we know his best days are still ahead of him.<br/><br/>Lucas gets along great with other dogs and would like having a confident doggy friend to help show him the ropes. Because of his past, Lucas is still learning doggy basics like leash walking. He's making progress every day, but he'll need an adopter who is willing to move at his pace, celebrate the little victories, and continue helping him build confidence.<br/><br/>Lucas is doing really really well for a dog that's been through what he has. Giving a dog like this a good home and love is so rewarding because you'll get the incredible privilege of watching a once-frightened dog discover what it means to feel safe, loved, and truly at home. <br/><br/>We would love to see Lucas in a home with an individual, family (older kids are preferred so there's no tail-pulling or awkward handling) or active retirees who have the time and love for a very loyal and sweet dog. We'd hate to see him left alone all day while his family works full-time outside of the home, as he is much too social for that type of arrangement.<br/><br/>We'd like to place Lucas in a home where he'll get consistent stimulation, exercise and love. A (virtual or in-person) positive reinforcement group training class promotes great behavior, bonding and confidence. Training is so important in the future behaviors of every dog. It's for this reason that we're unwilling to adopt to a family that doesn't make this loving choice. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of both in-person and virtual positive reinforcement / force- free trainers in your area.<br/><br/>Lucas is up to date on his vaccinations, has been fully vetted, is healthy, heartworm negative, and is neutered.<br/><br/>Farfel's Rescue is a fully foster based rescue, and offers a one week trial with every adoption. We feel that this is much more beneficial to not only the dog, but the adopter too. We believe that only getting 20-30 minutes with a dog before deciding on a lifetime commitment is not a fair amount of time to the adopter, or the dog. Therefore we give adopters one week with the dog to assure it is the right fit, and offer a full refund of their adoption fee should it not workout within the week trial.<br/><br/>Farfel's Rescue has been doing adoptions this way since 2005 and is thrilled to adopt out 400 dogs each year.<br/><br/>Applications are currently being accepted for our wonderful pup. If interested in this gorgeous, very cuddly/sweet and loving best friend, please fill out an application completely at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ and submit.<br/><br/>**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting from us, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in many cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.
