Lucien

Lucien has been an absolute delight in his foster home and is ready to win over his future family. He’s done wonderfully with our resident dog, happily switching between cozy snuggle sessions and enthusiastic tug-of-war matches with his sister. He’s also met a few canine friends and plays nicely with them during yard time.<br/><br/>Lucien currently lives with foster kitty sisters as well. While he’s still polishing his manners around them, he does well overall. When he gets extra excited, he may attempt a playful chase (because… cats), but for the most part he peacefully coexists with them.<br/><br/>He’s potty trained with only minimal accidents and is a total crate pro. He goes in willingly and seems to enjoy curling up in there to sleep at night. On leash, Lucien is doing pretty well! He does have a bit of a zig-zag and pull when excitement levels rise, but he’s actively working on his leash skills and gaining confidence every day. He loves his morning neighborhood walks and afternoon park strolls… and has proudly accepted his role as the #1 newest recruit on the local Squirrel Patrol.<br/><br/>Lucien is very food-motivated and takes his job as “kitchen sous chef” extremely seriously. While he’s been known to test his vertical skills in hopes of counter-surfing, we’re working on impulse control and keeping tempting snacks out of reach. He’s a big fan of enrichment activities like snuffle mats, lick mats, and lick balls, which help keep his clever brain busy.<br/><br/>At his core, Lucien is a smart, affectionate, and wonderfully silly boy with so much love to give. He adores cuddling on the couch, playing with his toys, and simply being near his people. Once he finds a person or family he can fully trust, he’s going to be an incredibly loyal and loving companion.<br/><br/>Lucien loves the outdoors (especially the snow!) and would thrive in an active home, possibly with another dog, and a family willing to continue his training and help him fine-tune a few remaining skills. In return, you’ll get a devoted best friend who’s equal parts snuggle buddy, adventure partner, and comic relief.<br/>If you’re interested in adopting Lucien, apply online at www.uppupandaway.org. Meet and greets only happen once approved as an adopter. If you’re already an approved adopter or foster, feel free to DM your interest.
