Luke

“LUKE, I am your faaaaather …” That’s what I hear everytime somebody meets me, and to be honest with you, I don’t get it. MY father was a LAB!!! I guess I’d have to see that movie they keep talking about in order to understand.

So, now that you know my name, here’s a little more about me. I’m about 5 years old, neutered, chocolate male. I was given up to a shelter by my family, but that’s okay since I didn’t stay there very long before LRR came to get me. I am a very friendly guy, so the folks at the shelter were sad to see me leave, but happy I’d be finding a new home.

At my old home, I used to have to stay outside most of the time. I do enjoy playing outside and am a true retriever for anyone willing to throw something for me, but we labs are very family-oriented and like to be inside with you wherever you are. I’m completely housebroken, crate-trained (sometimes I even go in on my own just to rest), and know basic commands like sit, down, and paw, so you need not worry about my house manners.

Since I’ve been at my new foster home, I’ve also started on a diet. You see, my old family used to “free feed” me, meaning they kept food in my bowl at all times and I could eat whenever I wanted. We labbies LOVE to eat … and that’s just what I did. (The folks at the shelter described me as “built like a barrel” - a barrel of FUN, I say!) So now that I’m on a regular feeding schedule and running around playing all the time the pounds are just flying off. I’ll be in great shape in no time!

If you have room in your home for a sweet, friendly, well-behaved boy and want to help me keep up my new healthy lifestyle, I could be the one for you!
