Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"My name is Luke and I came here on 8/17 after being abandoned. Although it was sad, I think it was for the best, because I am a very smart dog and need to be in a home that can give me the exercise, time and attention I long for. I'm a beautiful brindle boy who is a great dog. I'm not a digger or one that destroys stuff. I'm not a barky or mouthy dog. In fact, I'm pretty chill in my pen. Even though my owners left me, I came here already knowing how to sit on command! I really want to please and love training! The volunteer trainer here says I'm a good dog and learning so much! I know how to sit, walk on a leash and am very treat motivated! I'll do best in a home who will be consistent and remind me about the proper way to get attention. I'm a young, energetic boy who needs calm, consistent, structured guidance. I had a sleep-over with one family and I did great with their small kids. I was fine sleeping in a crate there, and also did good with their pig, chickens, and dog (I like to play with other rough-and tumble dogs.) I LOVE to be rubbed under my chin, on my chest and around my ears. I hope for a family who will take me on walks, have a fenced yard or like to go on long walks. All I want is love and a chance. I have a heart of gold. I really do."
BONUS: The dog trainer will give FREE training lessons to Luke's lucky adopter. This is something we will require, to ensure a long, happy life for Luke and his family!

Additional adoption info
Our stray animals are held 10 days to see if the owner will claim them. If no one claims the animal, the animal is put up for adoption. We also accept owner surrendered animals (for a fee) if space allows. Also...Due to Illinois state law, no animals can be adopted without being fixed first. So, if the pet you select is spayed/neutered, you can take it home right away. If not, adoption will be finalized after our next spay/neuter clinic.
