About Lucas

Golden Retriever 5 year old, male, unaltered. Birthday: May 8, 2020 Housebroken. Crate trained. AKC registered. Super loving, extremely clingy. Just wants love and attention, no such thing as too much for him. Doesn't know how to control his emotions. Although once he gets out his initial excitement he will settle down. He just needs a minute. Comes off a little loud, will bark and growl but he is harmless, all noise. Afraid of guns, fireworks, and thunderstorms. Looking for someone who will share their bed with him. Used to being babied for sure. Does not do great on the leash, we have tried. He pulls and is stubborn. He does seem to have some allergy issues. He loves to roll in the grass but long exposure to that seems to irritate his skin. Also has a sensitive stomach, so we don't do table scraps / human foods outside of the occasional fruit and cheese snacks. Loves his cheese, apples, strawberries, bananas, blueberries, and watermelon. Must have food on his stomach before bed or he will throw up bile in the morning. Ok with female dogs, although with male dogs there seems to be some dominance issues. He has never really been exposed to cats, so unsure about that. Children he does good with although he doesn't know how to control his emotions as stated earlier so he has tried to mount little kids. Also since he tends to be overly hyper I think he can be a bit much for children. We got him from the Amish in PA, he was the runt of the litter. He was not given a name like all the other puppies in his litter. He also had a heart murmur but that resolved as he got older. Have felt guilty for a while, since moving in 2023. He hasn't received the attention or space he had for his first 3 years. We no longer have a yard for him to run, our space is a lot smaller than he was accustomed to. We now have a baby which makes space a lot more challenging as well as time and attention is minimized. Baby is also showing signs of allergies. I hate to be that person and swore I never would be. Ultimately the best thing for him is someone who can give him the time and attention he craves. For him to be a dog and have space to run and freely play. I want what's best for him, I don't want to hold onto him for selfish reasoning. He is ultimately suffering and it's not fair to him. He is my first baby, if my situation was different, this wouldn't be a conversation. Serious commitment only, I want him with someone who will care for him until he crosses the rainbow bridge naturally.
