Lucky is the biggest snuggler ever and is always happiest when snuggled up with his favorite person! He gets cold easily, so he loves to burrow under blankets. Lucky is a three to four year old Hound mix and only weighs about 30 pounds. Lucky had a tough life prior to coming to Paws of Hope. He may have been bullied and picked on by the fur kids in his previous home. Because of this, he does resource guarding of his toys and food. We are working on this and making progress a little at a time. We recommend no small children in the home due to his resource guarding. Lucky is currently living with six other dogs and is doing quite well. He isn’t a big fan of aggressive players who get in his face, though. We are unsure of how he is with small kids and cats. Lucky is neutered, heartworm negative, and current on vaccinations. Please contact Paws of Hope at 269-340-0272 or  information@pawsofhope.org to learn more about our special guy, Lucky....
