Introducing Lucky!
Lucky is a stunning 3.5 yr old black and white male whippet looking for his forever home in Southern California.
Typical of the breed, he is a very sweet, sensitive and loving boy. He loves to snuggle on the couch with his people just as much as he loves exploring his surroundings on his daily walks. He is a very affectionate dog and loves giving kisses to everyone he meets. He is generally good on lead but can pull a bit if something really interests him.
Lucky gets along well with the female and male whippets in his foster home but has not been tested with cats so would not recommend a home with cats as they interest him a bit too much on walks. He likes cuddling with the other whippets in his foster home but prefers to be the cuddler, not the cuddlee. He gets overly excited when around small dogs so homes with medium to large dogs would be best for him and his new family.
Because of his enthusiasm, the ideal home would have one or two younger, playful whippets and no small children. When he first arrived in his foster home, he would jump on people but we’ve been working on that and he’s much better now.
Lucky really loves chasing tennis balls so a yard where he can do that is a plus.
He’s a tall, stealthy boy and food on the counter is something he can’t resist, so he has taught his foster mom to make sure all food is put away. He is very food motivated and will sit and give you his paw for treats.
He is used to having someone home throughout the day and needs a home where his people are gone no longer than 4 hours at a time.
Lucky is, neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on his vaccinations, and house and crate trained.
