My story

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

Meet Luka!

A charming seven-and-a-half-year-old Rottweiler mix from Simsbury, CT, whose heart is as big as his love for tennis balls. With his striking black and brown coat and those famously convincing "puppy dog" eyes, Luka has mastered the art of melting hearts—especially when it comes to scoring extra treats!

Luka is the perfect balance of playful energy and laid-back companionship. He lives for long walks, thrilling car rides, and endless games of fetch with his beloved tennis ball. When he's not zooming around the yard, he’s all about belly rubs, cuddles, and chewing on his favorite Benebone. His friendly and affectionate nature makes him a wonderful companion for young children, and he welcomes new people with a wagging tail and an open heart!

This intelligent pup knows a variety of commands, including "ride," "outside," "walk," "sit," "crate," "bed," "food," and "treat"—especially the last one! Though he hasn’t had formal obedience training, his smarts and eagerness to please make him a great candidate for continued learning. He’s crate-trained and fully house-trained, so he’s already got the basics down. Luka thrives with a routine, enjoying his meals in the morning and evening, with plenty of time in between to relax, play, and explore.

While Luka is generally independent and can be left alone without issue, he does prefer a calm environment—sudden loud noises or the vacuum cleaner aren’t his favorite things. He gets along with some dogs but can be selective, so slow introductions are best. As for cats, he hasn’t had enough interaction to say for sure. One thing he does need is a fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and chase after his favorite toy to his heart’s content!

If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who’s ready to fill your days with joy, Luka is more than ready to meet you! Could your home be the one he's been waiting for?
