WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
Luciano
Are you a boy or girl?
I'm a good boy!
How old are you?
I turned eight years old in September 2023.
What breed are you?
American Staffordshire Terrier
How much do you weigh?
If I had a driver's license, it would say 60lbs. But I'm a few pounds over that. I won't judge if you don't.
Who do you live with?
I live with my foster mom and human brother. I don't choose favorites. I know who to go to depending on what I want.
WHERE DO YOU HANG OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOME ALONE?
I am such a good boy when I am alone! I just hang out on my comfy bed.
WHERE DO you sleep?
You guessed it... I am all about my bed!
DO YOU LIKE WALKING ON A LEASH?
I LOVE walks! It has taken a lot of practice, but I am good on a leash. I do best with consistent rules.
DO YOU HAVE ANY “NOT SO GREAT” HABITS THAT WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?
I've been known to check the yard for weak spots and to patrol for cats, but when everything is cool, I just like to hang out in the yard and sunbathe. I don't bark much, only when I'm nervous or playing. You could go days and not hear me bark. I admittedly get excited when new people are in the house, or we pass a reactive dog on a walk. My foster mom has learned some strategies to help me calm down faster in these situations. She can teach you, too.
ARE YOU HOUSE TRAINED (DO YOU GO POTTY OUTSIDE)?
Yep! Got that bit taken care of a long time ago!
DO YOU LIKE WATER?
Let's gooo! Water water water!!
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR FOSTER FAMILY?
I love them most for cuddles and letting me spend more time outside in the world.
WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE BEFORE BEING BROUGHT INTO NORCAL BULLY BREED RESCUE?
I spent a lot of time in a crate and my experiences were very limited. But since I was saved from that life, I have learned how to enjoy every bit of love and fun that I can find. I am hoping to find a family that will give me as much love as I have to share with them. Will you take me home and love me forever?
WHAT IS YOUR ADOPTION FEE?
$100
What do you look like?
Handsome! I have the most AMAZING smile that will guarantee to make you happy just looking at me. My clipped ears are an often talked about feature. But the ladies tell me that my green eyes are mesmerizing.
WHat do you like to eat?
I am a good eater! I eat my kibble, but I also like sweet potatoes, Greek yogurt, watermelon and apples.
What kind of personality Do you have?
Whoever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks was definitely not talking about me. I love to try new things. The more I am in new situations, the better I learn to handle it. Most days are pretty normal, though, and I've got a chill vibe with a large dose of loving.
Describe your perfect day
EAT! Walk. Sleep. Get some cuddles. Back to sleep. Play - I love the water most, but I also love tug-of-war or chase. I like brain games, too. Back to sleep. EAT! All I want to do after that is cuddle and sleep. My day is over!
What is your favorite Toy?
Believe it or not, my favorite thing to play with is water from the hose!
Do You Know any Tricks?
Sit, Wait, Plotz (lay down), Shake, Return, Leave It, No, and Yes. I've been getting pretty good lately at staying in my designated spot when my foster mom opens the door to get a delivery, too. WOW, impressive, right? Yeah, I'm a pretty smart dude!
What Scares you?
I am not a huge fan of loud banging sounds. Does anyone really like them, though?
Have you been around children?
Yep! I love kids!!
Do you like cats?
Enh, no thanks... I am not a cat guy.
How do you feel about other DOGS?
I used to live with other dogs and did fine. I'm an only dog in the house now. As always with adult dogs, slow intros are required!
If you could be anywhere, where would it be?
On a human lap. Or a dog pool. That's a hard one. Maybe on your lap IN the pool?
HOw's your health?
Grrrreat!
