My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello, I'm Lucas, a 5-year-old blue and white pit bull mix. I'm looking for a fun and loving home. While I am a voluptuous 65 pounds, I tend to feel like a puppy and a lap dog. I'm a sweet, funny, and smart boy who knows how to sit and give you my paw. I'm also hilariously funny and like to do silly things like look at myself in the mirror and sleep in cozy places like small laundry baskets.

I love to run and play with tennis balls, and I give the best hugs ever. I'm great with children, but older kids who handle my energy are preferred. I'm especially fond of men and I love to wrestle and play with them. I'm very loyal and affectionate and I will greet you like an enthusiastic lion when you come home. I am kind but tend to be aloof with the mom and kids of the family, so my ideal home would be with just me and my bro.

I'm good with other dogs, but I need slow introductions as I don’t get along with every dog. I don't like to be in a crate, but I'm house and leash trained. I am also not destructive, so I do well when left to roam the home. I'm vaccinated, heartworm negative, and neutered. We are not sure if I'm good with cats or other animals, but I can be tested if you’d like.

I'm being fostered in Hampton, VA, but I can be transported if you're the one for me. You must be 21 or older to apply, and you must be ready to have a lot of fun with me. If you think you can be my forever guy, fill out an application so we can be the next dynamic duo.

Go meet their pets

Our adoptable dogs are all in various foster homes and can be met by contacting rescue. Rescue will then provide foster home's contact information. Meet and greets will be arranged between foster and potential adopters. We also have adoption events at Petsmart on various dates which can be checked on our Facebook page, Operation Save a Shelter Dog.

More about this rescue

Our Mission​

Operation Save A Shelter Dog is a foster based, IRS-recognized 501c(3) rescue whose mission is to work with shelters on the East Coast by saving dogs at high risk of euthanasia or that have little hope of adoption in their current condition. Not only is it our goal to find furever homes for our dogs, but also to educate the public on the importance of spaying, neutering, vaccinating and providing preventative care for their pets.
