Luca enjoys playing fetch in the yard – we are requiring a securely fenced yard for Luca. He entertains himself playing with his toys as well – he’s a busy boy!  He likes going for car rides and visiting Lowe’s or Petsmart with his family. You just have to be careful not to let him go nose to nose with any dogs, as he generally does not like other dogs. If you attended our Sheltie-Palooza this spring, Luca was there walking all over the property with one of our volunteers! 

He does not like kids, so we will not place him in a home where young children live or regularly visit. He does not have great social skills when it comes to other dogs, so he will push to play to the point where a dog fight will happen. He is okay being in close proximity with other dogs in controlled situations – he ignores him. This is why we will place Luca as an only dog in a home.  He is also NOT a dog that you will be able to take to the dog park for exercise. He gets along well with most people and is not overly shy.

He does have some inhibition control issues which are generally not a problem when he gets sufficient exercise. His adoptive home is expected to continue his training going forward. We will give full disclosure to anyone who is seriously interested in adopting this dog.
