The rescuer saw a post on Facebook on March 15 2021 about a tiny little pup alone in an abandoned vegetable farm. He had such sad eyes. The rescuer drove to the vegetable farm and found him. Lucas approached cautiously and took treats from the rescuer’s hand but would not let her touch him. After around 10 minutes, the rescuer finally managed to put the leash on him, and Lucas followed her home without any protests. When Lucas got home, he was so happy to see all the dogs. He’s especially loving towards the cats and wants to play with the kitties all the time. He is still a little cautious with people but since his move to Vancouver has shown more interest and will even go up to people to say hello. Lucas is such a sweet, loving boy. He likes to wake up his foster parents with a wet snoot to the face and sloppy kisses, and you can tell he’s happy when he starts wagging his tail in a windmill fashion, which has been known to continuously whack against the wall/floor and knock things over from time to time! We know if given time, he will grow into a confident doggo! The first few days when he was rescued, he’s so malnourished that he pooped only dirt and grass. Such a sweet boy deserves a loving home!
