Lucky (adoption pending, enquiries on hold)

Lovely Lucky has found himself in need of a new home and his foster mum cannot figure out why!

An absolute gentleman, Lucky is calm and composed around cats and other dogs. He is so devoted to his humans, and is at his most relaxed when he knows his people are near. That said, Lucky isn’t too demanding of attention. If he wants a pat he will give you a gentle tap with his paw, but will happily keep himself occupied with his teddy if you’re too busy to respond. What makes him happiest of all is to know you’re around.

Lucky's mission in life is to protect his toys with everything he has. If he thinks another dog is coming to hurt his teddy he will defend teddy to the end! An attack on his beloved is the only thing that ruffles his feathers.

This pint-sized gentleman can be a little picky about his food, but will always be won over by a sardine or two. He loves to have frequent little explorations outside (followed by a trot inside just to check on his human) - so a home with a doggy door would be a dream come true.

Lucky is hard of hearing so isn’t the best trained boy around, but he is so attentive and smart that he will thrive with more focused training. This means he has no recall and never will- but as soon as you are in his sight he will happily trot off in the same direction as you. For this reason it's best Lucky isn't off-lead in public.

Lucky loves his people so much that when you leave him alone in the house you will likely come home to find him asleep in your dirty clothes basket or your gym bag.

Smart as a whip, Lucky needs a walk every day for his mind more than his senior body! Just 30 minutes will ensure he sleeps soundly but more importantly lets him have a sniff and investigate all kinds of things. Without a walk every day Lucky will resort to investigating your cupboard or your bins.

Lucky’s toilet training is very good, but due to his difficulty hearing he can occasionally think you’ve left the house when you’re simply out of sight and may have an accident.

We think Lucky would do best with another dog to live with. He adores his foster fur brother and would love a best friend in his new home. He would also prefer his humans to be around more often than not.

If you’re looking for a calm, friendly companion who doesn’t need constant attention, Lucky might be the friend you need.
