Lucky is a one-and-a-half-year-old Great Pyrenees mix who weighs 97 pounds and loves everyone.
He is young and needs plenty of energy and he loves tug of war and fetch. He’s well behaved in the house and can be left alone. He’s good with other dogs and would love to have a home with a canine sibling.
Lucky is playful, even tempered, house trained, leash trained, neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and microchipped.
His adoption fee is $350.
