Name: Luther    Best Guess for Breed: Terrier mix  

 Best Guess for Age: 6 years      SEX:  male

 Approximate Weight:  21 lbs.

Gets Along With: other dogs. Just let us know if you need to have Luther cat-tested. Luther cannot go to a home with kids under 15.

Currently Living in a DC area foster home, Luther needs a forever home.

Special adoption considerations: Luther needs an experienced owner who is prepared to help him deal with his fears. When scared Luther over-reacts by growling and on occasion nipping. For this reason he cannot go to a home with kids under age 15,

Luther was treated for heartworm in early March and is now back to being his energetic self. Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites.  Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process. 

Luther is Looking For: Luther needs people who will be patient and give him time to transition to his new surroundings. Luther may be small but he's a terrier and they are known for their boundless energy. A backyard to run around in would be great fun for Luther, especially if you have some tennis balls he could chase after. He will need some trips to a dog park or doggie daycare where he make new canine friends. Long walks each day to check out the neighborhood are a given but not enough for this boy. 

Terriers are known for being independent-minded so sign Luther up for obedience training so he can show what a good boy he is.  Puzzle toys that are challenging and offer tasty treats will keep Luther busy and happy.

What My Foster Says About Me:  Luther is doing well and gets along with me just fine. He sometimes barks at people and other dogs if they get too close too quickly but otherwise he is fine with them. With positive reinforcement and respect for his space Luther is learning that the world isn't such a scary place after all.

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
