“Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them, filling an emptiness we don’t even know we have.”

— Thorn Jones

One look at Lucas and the happy button in your brain forces a big grin across your face. You can’t help but smile as you play with such a handsome boy that just greeted you with the biggest smile you’ve ever seen.

His tongue is constantly outside of his mouth and with his large, chiseled head and short, squat body builder frame, this 10-month-old brindle pit bull is still a puppy at heart, albeit not as high energy as some.

He enjoys the company of other dogs and playing with his toys, but lounging in the shade is really his forte. Better yet, he would rather go into the house and take a nap and watch videos with you.

Lucas enjoys learning basic commands and is very eager to learn new tricks. After a short walk, he will be more than happy to show you what he has learned. And he’ll do it all with a big smile!
