🐶 Meet Luke — the happiest pup around!
If pure joy had four legs and a wagging tail, it’d look a lot like Luke. This sweet, playful boy is 100% sunshine—he loves people, toys, belly rubs, and just about everything else life has to offer. He’s great with cats, dogs, and kids, and he’s already mastering his crate and potty training like a champ.
Luke happens to be deaf, but that doesn’t slow him down one bit—it just makes him extra special. He’s learning eye contact cues and proving every day that happiness doesn’t need sound to be loud and clear.
Ready to meet your new best friend? ❤️
