Lucky's Story

Lucky is a very sweet boy who is still getting used to life in general. If you are looking for an outgoing and confident pup ready to take on the world, Lucky is not going to be your dog. If you are looking for a gentle, playful, easy-going and loving pup, Lucky might be your dog. Lucky just needs someone who has the time and patience to develop his confidence and mold him into the great dog that he will be. <br/><br/>Lucky is about 7 months old and had only ever been an outside dog until he came to us; he presently prefers to be outside. He is most content to explore the backyard and be out with everyone as they do chores and yard work. He can come to his name and sit. He seems to really enjoy following the lead of and playing with confident dogs. He has gone on a few short walks alongside his foster's dog and loves sniffing and exploring. He has been good with cats and reported to be good with horses. He takes time and multiple slow interactions to warm up to new people, but is super snuggly, appreciative, attention seeking, and loving once he does. <br/><br/>Lucky currently sleeps in a crate just inside the fosters backdoor. He has access to explore the house but has shown no interest in that so far. He goes to the bathroom outside, but due to not coming into the house (so far and by choice) there has been no opportunity to know how well that will translate to being fully potty trained. <br/><br/>Lucky has been making great progress as he gets used to his surroundings and people in the home. Initially, he will sit back, observe, and sniff from a distance in his new surroundings. When he gets nervous, goes into his crate or hides in the bushes around the yard. He will pee submissively, both when he is nervous and when he is happy. This has improved as he has become more comfortable with his new surroundings. Experience with timid dogs or willingness to do some professional training will be helpful. He has been most responsive to a predictable routine, a quieter household, giving him some space and time to take things in, and confident, positive leadership. <br/> <br/>Lucky is reported to be a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix and presently weighs about 30 pounds. He was born on November 13, 2025. Lucky is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. He is being fostered in Hood River, Oregon and his adoption fee is $400.
