My story

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

Luca was surrendered to his groomer by his previous owners husband after she unexpectedly passed away, he had health issues of his own and was unable to care for Luca. His groomer made a post on Facebook that he was free to a good home, we already had another Maltese/Bichon the same age so thought we could give him a good home. The groomer knew little about him in his everyday life, she thought he was good with children, however he does not do well with small children, he does great with about 10 yrs and up. I have multiple small grandchildren and do not trust him around them. Luca is leery of some males as well. Luca becomes attached very quickly with females and loves to be loved. He likes to be very close at all times, he will snuggle and will follow you around the house, he does like to sleep with you at night but is also kennel trained. He does get kenneled when we leave as this is what he was used to before we got him. Luca loves to go for car rides, he is 11 years old.
