Description

This sweet, loving, senior boy who devoted his life to his previous family was repaid for those years with being dumped at a shelter.  Why, because they no longer had the time for him.  The condition he arrived in our care showed that this family never had time for him, his nails were so over grown that he had a very difficult time walking, his beautiful long coat was dirty and matted and he had a skin infection.  Well his life has changed for the better, he is now in a loving foster home living the life he so deserves.  

Luke bonds quickly with his people, he is getting around well after his much needed nail clip and has a nice pep in his step for a senior.  He has been examined by the vet and is being treated for the skin infection.  Seniors are wonderful, they have so much love and kindness to give.  Please don't let Luke's age deter you, he deserves a true family to call his own and to spend his senior years with.

Updates

Luke is settling in nicely to his foster home. He's getting stronger every day in MAGSR's care and when he walks, he's almost prancing around and seems so happy. He likes to play with toys, play catch with his ball, and is becoming more active. If you're looking for a companion and would consider one who has lived a little, please consider this senior boy who still has a lot to give.

Luke's foster mom took Luke in thinking she would be getting an old guy that really couldn't do much, but she has been very surprised. MAGSR was told Luke is 12 yrs old, but his foster mom think he's a few years younger than that. While Luke may not be for someone who wants to hike 10 miles or someone who wants a dog to run or jog with, Luke is now taking several walks a day and can easily walk 1/2 mile without difficulty. Luke is very affectionate and loves all attention he gets. Luke would make someone with a quiet lifestyle a great dog and companion. Please schedule an appointment to meet Luke!
