Luke

Luke is a fantastic boy that is very sweet and smart, but he is a fearful boy (skittish). It may be that he lived a "sheltered" live previously and everything is new to him. <br/><br/>Luke walks great on a leash, he is house trained and crate trained and he is great with other dogs. He has done well with his previous interactions with cats as well.<br/>Although Luke is fearful, he does not bite, he responds well to happy talk and needs reassurance. His response to things he fears is to run away from it, so he will need to be treated as a "flight risk" dog. <br/><br/>He is looking for someone to help him with his confidence, learning to be more comfortable with day to day interactions and learn to be the best version of himself. Maybe having another confident (not dominant) dog in the home may help him. <br/><br/>He will need a secure fence if is to be off leash. He is a mix of very smart breeds of dogs, so having someone that is knowledgeable about the breeds would be beneficial. <br/><br/>*This is an Out Of Town listing. We transport to the city on this listing.**<br/><br/>** This is a courtesy listing for one of our partner rescues. All applications will be reviewed by his caregiver, Rhonda. We will help facilitate his transport.**<br/><br/>Adoption fee is $400 and the transport fee is $175<br/>_______________________________<br/>Considering adoption?<br/><br/>Start by filling out our online application (copy and paste the following link)<br/>https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DIX/dog<br/><br/>Once submitted, we’ll review it and reach out to approved applicants by phone or email.<br/><br/>A Petfinder Inquiry is not the same as an application -<br/><br/>COMPLETED APPLICATIONS TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER INQUIRIES.

We transport every 2-3 weeks.<br/>We facilitate adoptions through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to VA, MD, PA, NJ, CT, VT, and NY. Our dogs travel in comfort with 24/7 care. We have been facilitating long distance adoptions since 2019.<br/><br/>***Breed input is required for each platform but is not guaranteed to be accurate. We do not DNA test. We rescue animals from different situations. We discuss breed assignments with our vets to label them as accurately as possible. ***<br/><br/>We are currently unable to adopt pets to ME and RI residents
