Everyone, meet LUCHI! With those soulful eyes of his, you can sense how sensitive and gentle a fellow he is. With a little patience and guidance, he’s going to make for an incredible companion to have by your side. Since being in his foster’s care, he’s been warming up to his people and showing more affection and tail wags!

Busy figuring out all the things, LUCHI is looking for a confident handler. Might that be you?! His adopter(s) should know that he walks well on leash, though he can be easily frightened. Sudden new sounds and movements can startle him, and his response is typically to exit the scenario. Having defined boundaries as well as a set routine in place both set him up for success and will be necessary going forward. You’ll love to know that he’s both place- and house-trained, and not to brag or anything, but it only takes him a few minutes to settle at night in his crate!

LUCHI has been enjoying his walks, as evident in his tail wags! He also finds joy in sniffing all the smells in calm outdoor environments. When he’s inside, he’s a big fan of lounging near his people, though his chill energy may increase as he becomes even more comfortable. Only just starting to show an interest in playing with toys, we can share that he likes chewing sticks!

Give him some time to warm up, and then he might even accept a little affection from you! He’s food-motivated, and in time will be happy to accept a treat or two. You’ll be impressed at how gently he accepts them. As gentle as he is, he’ll likely do best with dog-savvy kids in an effort to limit startling him. LUCHI does just fine coexisting with other dogs and has also shown the same temperament with cats in a prior home. He currently lives with a resident dog, and while he has yet to meet many new scruffs, the interactions he has had have been neutral in a good way!
