Lucian - Located in VA

Meet Lucian If you've been searching for a gentle giant with a soft soul and a goofy streak, Lucian might just be your guy. At just 1 year and 7 months old, he's still figuring out the world-and it's honestly the sweetest thing to watch.Lucian's story started in a heartbreaking way-he was found at a dumping ground in Texas, severely emaciated and trying to survive by eating trash. But despite everything he's been through, he is nothing but love.Today, Lucian is a calm, gentle boy who gets along well with other dogs and is slowly learning how to play like a pro. He's still building up his stamina, so after a little fun, he's ready for a nap (preferably somewhere cozy… like you).Speaking of cozy-Lucian is a certified learner. He will happily melt into you for affection and would absolutely love to be a lap dog… despite his size. And if your toes happen to be nearby, don't be surprised if he gives them a little curious nibble When he first arrived, toys were a bit suspicious (understandably), but now he's discovered they're actually amazing and enjoys chewing on anything he can get his paws on. Watching him experience these "firsts" is really special.He's also a rockstar in his crate-he goes in on his own, settles easily, and naps throughout the day like a champ.Lucian does have a bit of a playful chase instinct when it comes to cats, squirrels, and chickens. He responds well to verbal correction, but he'd do best in a home with either dog-savvy cats or no small animals.***********************************************To apply to adopt, please fill out the application by clicking on the Adopt button or ask for this dog to be added to your existing application.All MAD dogs come with a series 3 Fi Collar and a six-month subscription.
