**Meet Lucas - The Handsome Furry Energizer Bunny! **
Name: Lucas
Gender: Male
Weight: 52 lbs
Neutered: Yup, he's all set to focus on having fun!
Heartworm Status: Negative (he's ready to roll without any worries!)

**Personality**
Lucas is like a furry tornado of energy! If you're looking for a couch potato, keep scrolling-this guy thinks "nap time is a myth. He's convinced he's part kangaroo, and you'll often find him bouncing around like he's had one too many cups of coffee. Fetch? More like "Let's play until I drop! He's the kind of dog that could power a small city with his enthusiasm-and did we mention he's handsome too?

**Origin Story**
Lucas's journey hasn't always been easy. He was given away by someone who didn't fully commit to him, but now he's ready to find a forever home with a family that will cherish him for life. He's all about loyalty and love, and he's eager to share his boundless energy with the right people!

**Compatibility**
Lucas is a social butterfly at adoption events, charming everyone with his goofy antics and irresistible charm. He's great with kids and loves to engage with them. However, he can be a bit sensitive around male strangers who startle him, so a gentle introduction is key. He's always ready to make new friends, both human and furry. And cats? Oh, he's cool with them-he won't chase unless they decide to play hide and seek. Just a heads up: if your cat runs, he might think it's game on!

**Lifestyle Needs**
Lucas requires an active family that can match his energy levels. If you enjoy running, hiking, or just having fun outdoors, he's your perfect match! He also loves car rides, so whether it's a trip to the park or a scenic drive, he'll be your co-pilot with his nose out the window, soaking in all the sights!

**Training and Skills:**
Worried about messes? Fear not! Lucas is house trained and crate trained. He understands that his human's shoes are not chew toys (most of the time), but he does have a bit of separation anxiety. With stability and a consistent routine, his anxiety can be reduced, helping him feel more secure in his new home. He's been known to chew up beds and pillows when left alone, so a home where someone is around for most of the day or where he has a furry sibling to keep him company would be ideal!
