About Me
Lucas – Adopted December 2021
Meet Lucas
Status: Fostered
Estimated Age: 2 Years
Estimated Weight: 17 Pounds
NOTE: Timid. No young children. Needs a social dog in the home. Needs fenced yard (scared of walking on a leash).
UPDATE - 11 DECEMBER 2021: Little Lucas was overwhelmed at our adoption event today and spent most of his time huddled against a back wall. He did well when someone was able to hold him and make him feel safe. He is adorable! Based on his foster home experience, where he is comfortable and happy, we think he would do best in a home with another dog who can help Lucas come out of his shell. The home needs to be quiet, and whoever adopts this very cute boy needs to be able to work with a timid dog. He doesn't do well on a leash, so we recommend his home have a very secure fenced yard.
UPDATE - 22 NOVEMBER 2021: Lucas is starting to come out of his shell at his foster home and is becoming a playful, mischievous little guy! He is a cutie but still needs a soft touch and patience as he adjusts to changes in his life.
UPDATE - 10 NOVEMBER 2021 (from kennel manager): Lucas is now at my house and is doing rather well for a shy boy. He’s already learned the doggie door but hasn’t completely figured out the whole house training thing. He does crate well, keeps it clean and is quiet. It shouldn’t be long before he’s ready for his forever home.
UPDATE - 25 OCTOBER 2021 (from kennel manager): Lucas is blossoming!! While he's still a little on the unsure side, he takes treats from my hand, barks and his tail wags at feeding time. He will now let me pet him. He's a tiny little chunk!!! Just adorable!!! He will still need a little more time to build his confidence, but he has come a long way from unsocialized and living in a rabbit hutch to where he is today. I think he can be someone's adorable, happy little companion.
UPDATE - 13 OCTOBER 2021: Lucas is now fully vetted and available for fostering or adoption. He is a little guy!
NEW - 7 OCTOBER 2021: Lucas is a small boy who is a little on the shy side. He was an owner surrender to the Madison County Animal Shelter in Virginia because the owner was no longer able to hunt. Unfortunately, Lucas wasn’t socialized and spent most of his life in a rabbit hutch. He came in with Liam and will be available soon.
Questions?
Q: Can you tell me more about a specific dog? Is s/he good with kids / housetrained / good with cats/ etc?
A: What we know is in the write up. Our knowledge about any dog that is not in a foster homes is limited. Once approved, our adoption coordinators will work with you to match you with the right dog.
Q: Can I meet a specific dog?
A: We’re sorry, but you must be an approved adopter to meet our dogs. Pre-pandemic, dogs could be met at adoption days, but you still had to be approved to adopt from an adoption day.
Q: How can I adopt a specific dog?
A: You must submit an adoption application and be approved to adopt. You can do that under Adopt – you can also learn about the adoption process there.. It will take about two weeks for an adoption coordinator to get in touch with you. Please keep in mind that dogs that are available now may be adopted in the meantime. But we are always getting new dogs. You can see them on our website.
Q: Can I add another dog to the list on my application?
A: We don’t hold you to the dogs you listed on your application. It gives us an idea of what you are looking for. Plus it will let us know if someone is interested in one of our special needs / hard to place dogs.
Q: I indicated that I was interested in a specific dog on my application, but I see that s/he has been adopted. What happened?
A: We do not hold dogs. Applicants in the queue before you are being approved and may adopt the dog you are interested in before you are approved. But we are always getting new dogs in and your adoption coordinator will help you find the perfect match.
