Meet Luke
Luke came from a rural shelter where he was surrendered. He is 8 yrs old and has been chained most of his life- he has a permanent bald ring around his neck from the chain. Despite that, he is a sweet boy who is learning to be an inside dog. He is learning to calm himself by going into his crate when he feels overwhelmed. He has taken a great liking to his foster dad and will get into his lap to calm himself. Luke will be starting heart worm treatment soon and will be available at the end of the treatment. He needs a 6 ft privacy fenced and a family with older respectful kids as he can be too much for little ones when he gets the zoomies. We don't think he would be good with cats because he shows too much interest in those outside. He needs a family who is willing to be patient with him and show him what a loving family is and one who will always take good care of him. If you are looking for a sweet boy who desperately wants to be part of someone's family and are willing to be patient and love him unconditionally, please contact Rainbow Rescue at : rainbowanimalrescueva@gmail.com or call at 757-472-1583
