About Lucas
My ideal Owner
Lucas will suit an older owner looking for a companion dog but who understands the quirks associated with Cocker Spaniels.
He wants a quiet life where he is a central focus and does not have to share with other dogs or kids.
Lucas is people orientated and needs to be involved with family activities. He is a little shy and takes time to warm to new friends. This can sometimes be interpreted as him being aloof.
He does not like being rough housed by young kids or startled and may growl to show his irritation.
Lucas would prefer company but can cope alone.
As Lucas can get jealous he needs to be the only permanent dog in the home.
He transitions slowly so will need time and patience to settle into his new home.
He will not suit homes with residents that are very young, frail, elderly, renters, full time workers, living in apartments or time poor.
Tolerance to Being Alone During the Day
Will alert to something strange but is not currently a nuisance barker.
Prefers company but can cope alone.
He will suit any of the following
- someone home more often than not
- part time workers
- active retirees.
Likes, Dislikes, Fears, Endearments and Quirks
Lucas will form a strong bond with those he loves. He is not currently destructive or an escapee and is easy to care for. He enjoys sun baking, going for walks or simply eating a small piece of cheese.
He can be a calm, shy dog who is loyal and eager to spend time with his family. However, he can also be unpredictable especially if startled.

______________________________________
We strongly recommend you read the profile carefully where everything we know about the dog/s is outlined.
If you are interested in a dog we invite you to submit an application form so we can learn more about your circumstances. This is to ensure we match the right dog to the best home. (one form per family - not per dog) https://www.dogadoption.org.au/expression-of-interest---adoption.html
This is for the benefit of both the dog and the potential new owner(s). It also saves time and uses limited resources more effectively.
Once the essential criteria is confirmed we put you in touch with the carer for a more detailed chat with a view of meeting the dog(s).
If you decide to proceed with the adoption we make a time for a house check.
The adoption fee is then paid (there is a 2 week cooling off period.) Please note we offer a 2 week cooling off period but do not usually allow trials. See here for the difference https://www.dogadoption.org.au/can-my-dogs-new-owner-have-a-trial-period-before-deciding-to-adopt.html
Foster carers are also able to adopt foster dogs once approved.
