LUCAS

One look at the face on this dog, and you're going to fall in love!  Lucas is a young male shepherd/chow mix who is at the Bergen County Animal Shelter in Teterboro, NJ.  When Lucas was surrendered, his owner said neighborhood kids were teasing the dog and he was afraid there would be trouble.  Maybe this is why he was a little shy when he arrived.  Over the months that he’s been in the shelter, though, Lucas has started to blossom into an incredibly sweet pup.  He’s still a bit shy around new people, and he can still be intimidated if someone approaches him without being calm. But once you gain his trust, he’s playful and amazingly affectionate. He has been getting along well with everyone he’s met, including the other dogs. Lucas now walks nicely on a leash and even knows how to "sit" and "give paw".  This very sweet dog simply needs an owner who loves him and is willing to teach him what's expected of him. He would still benefit from basic obedience lessons, and a volunteer is going to help him with that in the next class session.  Once Lucas is in a safe, loving environment, he’s going to be an excellent pet.
