Luke Needs a Foster or Adopter to Secure His Ride to Wisconsin

Sweet Luke is currently waiting in a shelter in Alabama, and we’re hoping to find a foster or adopter so we can arrange his transport to Cedarburg, Wisconsin with Mutt Life Dog Rescue. His transport date is still to be determined, but once Luke has a committed home, we can work on getting his ride north.

Meet Luke

Luke is a 2.5-year-old Terrier mix who currently weighs 29 pounds. He came into the shelter through a local sheriff’s department alongside another dog. We’re still learning more about his story and why he ended up there, but one thing is already very clear: Luke is an incredibly sweet and people-loving boy who is ready for a fresh start.

If you’re a Jack Russell fan, Luke may be your kind of dog! He has the classic Jack Russell look and plenty of the personality to match. He is energetic, playful, curious, and absolutely loves being around his people.

Luke is extremely dog friendly and has done wonderfully with other dogs. He enjoys having canine friends and is always happy to make a new buddy. He is also very affectionate with people and tends to be a bit of a velcro dog. If you’re looking for a companion who wants to be by your side and soak up all the attention he can get, Luke could be your guy.

Luke was a little skinny when he first arrived at the shelter, but he has since filled out nicely and is now at a healthy 29 pounds. He is fully vetted and ready for his next chapter.

We are still getting to know Luke and will continue testing and learning more about him, including his comfort with cats and how he does with a crate. We’ll update his profile as we learn more.

ADOPTION PROCESS:

1.) Apply: Fill out adoption application completely and submit all necessary documents.

2.)Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.

3.)Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: after approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5 day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure it's the right fit.

4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.

5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process we conduct a home visit either in person or via zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.

6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse $125 for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. We recommend going to HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI for the most affordable option. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, that works too!

Note: Adoptions are not considered final until the dog is neutered/spayed if applicable

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The terrier is a spirited and intelligent dog breed known for its feisty personality and boundless energy. Terriers come in various sizes and coat types, but they all share a common heritage as fearless and determined hunters. These dogs are typically highly trainable, making them versatile companions for active individuals and families alike. With their loyalty and playful demeanor, terriers are beloved for their endless enthusiasm and affectionate nature.
