06/07/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
06/07/17 15:14 Basic Information: Lucky is a large male dog who was surrendered due to his previous owner moving to out of state where animals are not allowed. Socialization: Around strangers Lucky is shy for a few minutes and plays exuberantly with adults and children. Lucky has spent time/lived with children of all ages and is relaxed and playful around them. Lucky has never been around any other cats or dogs so it is unknown how he will react to them. Behavior: Lucky has never bitten another person or animal and has not shown any concerning behavior while art home. Lucky is not bothered by loud sounds but will bark at fireworks. Lucky is friendly when someone touches his food/bowl while he is eating, takes a treat/toy away, pushes/pulls him off of the furniture, disturbs him while he is resting/sleeping, gives him a bath and brushes him. Lucky’s previous owner did not attempt to trim his nails so it is unknown how he will react to that event. Lucky needs to be introduced to people slowly because he can get nervous with new people in his home. For a New family to Know: Lucky is described as friendly, confident and excitable with a low to medium activity level. When at home Lucky will follow around his owner and was kept indoors. Lucky was fed both wet and dry food. Lucky is house trained and rarely has any accidents. Lucky is well behaved when left at home alone but will someone times get into the garbage if it is left open. Lucky knows the commands “bang bang”, sit, stay and down. Lucky likes slow walks on a leash and doesn’t pull. Lucky has never been walked without a leash so it is unknown how he will react to that event. Intake Behavior: Lucky was a little timid but allowed staff to collar, can him for a microchip and take pictures with no signs of aggression.

A volunteer writes: Lucky is the perfect companion with whom to spend the dogged days of summer. His is the face you’ll want to come home to, full of love, and ready to wash your cares away with one lick of his pink tongue. At 11 years young, Lucky is all about the 3 “R”s. Rest, relaxation, and reading! Well, not really that third one. But he WILL be more than happy to lay contentedly at your feet as you turn the pages of the latest and greatest, tantalizing beach read. When I first meet Lucky, he was perfecting that second “R,” lounging sweetly in his kennel. Out on our walk, Lucky is quick to show off his terrific leash manners, keeping perfectly in front of me without the slightest pull. Later in yard he sits politely for his treats, comes ’round for pets, and nudges my hand with his delicious nose the moment the petting stops. We’re told Lucky has spent time with children of all ages and was relaxed and playful with them. His former family notes he has a low to medium activity level, and isn’t bothered when his food bowl is touched, or when he’s moved off of furniture. Summer’s already underway and you’ll want to be sure to spend it with your new best friend. Another volunteer writes: If it were up to me I would change his name to Gentleman Lou. He’s so easy, so respectful and gentle, so delightful to spend time with, you’ll want to make him yours as soon as you meet him. Lou has found the fountain of youth, his eyes are bright and clear, he’s so lovely on leash, his coat is clean and perfect. He lets me know he needs a walk and potties as soon as we are out the door. He’s an awesome dog looking for his retirement home and a person to snuggle and enjoy leisurely walks with. Shouldn’t you treat yourself to Gentleman Lou?
