Anatolian Shepherd
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

Lukie is an 8-year-old neutered purebred Anatolian Shepherd with the heart of a family companion and the quiet confidence of his breed. He is approximately 130 pounds, healthy, house-trained, heartworm negative, and has excellent indoor manners. He has always lived as an indoor member of the family and genuinely prefers being close to his people. This is an incredibly difficult decision. Due to my father's rapidly declining health, I am moving into a much smaller apartment so I can help care for him. Unfortunately, I can no longer provide Lukie with the home and lifestyle he deserves. This decision is entirely about my circumstances-not Lukie. Lukie is affectionate, loyal, intelligent, and calm. He is happiest lounging near his family, quietly watching over the home, going for walks, or simply being included in daily life. He is not a high-energy dog and does not require constant activity. Think 'Clifford meets Scooby-Doo'-a gentle giant with a goofy side. Like a typical Anatolian Shepherd, Lukie has natural guardian instincts. He is protective of his home and family and does best with an owner who understands livestock guardian breeds and respects their independent, thoughtful nature. Once he knows someone is welcome, he is friendly and enjoys meeting people. He loves children and has lived successfully with both dogs and cats, though thoughtful introductions are always recommended. Lukie would thrive in a home with people who appreciate guardian breeds and want a devoted companion rather than a highly driven working dog. He has always been a family dog first and foremost. **Lukie at a glance:** * Purebred Anatolian Shepherd * Born November 21, 2018 * Neutered male * Approximately 130 pounds * Healthy and heartworm negative * House-trained * Excellent indoor manners * Indoor family companion * Affectionate and people-oriented * Loves children * Has lived with dogs and cats * Moderate-to-low energy * Loyal, calm, intelligent guardian My priority is finding Lukie the right home where he will be loved as a member of the family. An adoption fee helps ensure a thoughtful, committed placement. If you think you might be the right match or would like to learn more, please don't hesitate to reach out. I am happy to answer questions, provide additional photos, and discuss whether Lukie might be a good fit for your home. ***Update: Note that the family who was going to adopt him changed their mind and I need to find him a home or foster by JULY 1***
