Original: “He was a very good boy at the vet’s office where everyone loved him.”
When Luke’s New Jersey owners divorced, he and another Springer – Lola 2 – had nowhere to go and made their way to MAESSR. Initially, Luke and Lola were together in a foster home. After a few days, Luke moved to another foster home. It did not bother him at all.
Luke is housetrained and is trustworthy in having total freedom in the house. He HATES being crated! He loves being in his fenced yard and doesn’t try to get out. When people and dogs walk by the fence, Luke barks at them. In his former home, he would play fetch. As to commands, Luke knows “sit” and down.”
Inside of the house, Luke is a big time counter-surfer, but that is about his only fault and it is correctable. He really is a very sweet boy. At night he likes to sleep in bed with his foster family.
Luke was showing some intermediate anxiety when he first arrived in his foster home so his foster mom started him on an inexpensive supplement to curb anxiety. He was not damaging anything; he was just upset by all of the upheaval in his life. The supplement has helped.
Luke also had a couple of bad teeth that were removed when he had a dental cleaning. He had an ear infection too that is being treated. He was a very good boy at the vet’s office where everyone loved him. He just wanted to cuddle with all of the staff!
Consider adding this loveable senior to your family Luke is active and happy and healthy and will bring joy to your life! Seniors rock!
