Lucky!

Lucky is a darling boy who is guessed to be a shih tzu/lhasa apso type mix. He is about 17lbs and thought to be around 9yrs old, however acts much younger!<br/><br/>Lucky was found in poor condition. He was malnourished and appeared to have been suffering from a flea allergy which caused inflamed skin and missing coat on half his body. In just a few weeks of proper care and good nutrition, he is already looking so much better. His coat will continue to grow, and we know that will make him even cuter!<br/><br/>He can be scared/nervous when adjusting to a new environment, so his adoptive home will have to have a little patience. After a few days, he shows his sweet and happy personality. Lucky currently doesn't live with but has been around respectful kids and has done well with them while being closely monitored.<br/><br/>Lucky's ideal home would be:<br/>* Experienced dog owners <br/>* A yard (however an apartment might be ok depending on the situation) <br/>* Must be within an hour of Sacramento<br/><br/>Here are notes from his fostermom:<br/><br/>This sweet boy is looking for a calm, loving home where he can feel safe and appreciated. Lucky does best with older children who can respect his space—he’s a gentle soul who just needs understanding and patience.<br/><br/>Lucky is a total sweetheart who loves to cuddle and stay close to his humans. He enjoys playing with toys and is learning how to interact with other dogs; he may bark to get their attention, but he’s making progress every day!<br/><br/>He’s *crate trained*, *potty trained*, and will bark or gently paw at you when he needs to go outside. Lucky also knows how to use a doggy door. He absolutely loves going on walks and greeting new people along the way.<br/><br/>Lucky would thrive in a home with another *low- to mid-energy dog* or as the *only pet*. With love and stability, this affectionate boy will make a wonderful companion.<br/><br/>Lucky also has a few things he is working on. One is that he can be a pest to other dogs. He loves being around them but can be a bit annoying at times - so his new home will need to work on this to be sure he fits in with their resident pooch. Second, while on leash, he can be barky at people and other dogs, but he is improving on this as well.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly friend who just wants to be near you, Lucky might be your perfect match!<br/><br/>Please email right away if you would like to learn more about this dog......and visit our website www.siarescuers.org to learn more about our rescue group.
