Luke is still available for adoption!

Luke is a 5-month-old Australian Cattle Dog mix who’s the perfect blend of laid-back and playful. He loves relaxing just as much as he enjoys having fun, especially when he’s playing with his foster brother.

He does well with people and other dogs and is very curious about cats. Luke is great in his kennel and will even put himself in there to relax or chew on a bone.

Luke truly is the chillest pup with a heart of gold and is more than ready to find his forever home.
