Luke
MALE | BORN APPROX MAY 2025 | CATTLE DOG X WHIPPET
LOCATED IN AUCKLAND
Hi, I’m Luke. I’m new here, still figuring out life, and currently approaching the world with a mix of curiosity, caution, and “hmm… I’m going to stare at that for a bit before deciding.”
I love people, I think you’re wonderful, actually, I’m just a little shy about admitting it. I’m the kind of dog who warms up gently, like your laptop from 2004.
My Confidence Journey
I’m working hard on being brave. New noises? Suspicious. New places? Also suspicious. New humans? Suspicious… but probably nice… okay fine, I like you.
Every day I take a few more steps into the “Bold Boy Lifestyle,” and my foster humans say I’m doing great.
My Dog Social Life
Now dogs? Dogs are my people.
I adore them. I relax around them. I learn from them. I follow their lead like a tiny four‑legged apprentice. I would absolutely thrive with a confident, friendly dog buddy in my new home, someone to show me the ropes and help me keep building my courage.
My Vibe
Sweet but cautious
Curious but careful
Loves gentle company
Quietly devoted
Soft, sensitive, and trying his absolute best
My Dream Home
Someone patient, kind, and willing to continue my training and help build my confidence as I level up from “timid noodle” to “confident companion.” Ideally with a dog friend who can be my mentor and my emotional support role model.
I'm not ready to be adopted just yet, I still gotta little more to learn in foster care, but if you think I'd be a good fit when the time is right then express your interest in adopting me!

Can't adopt Luke? You can still help.
Although we charge a small adoption fee, this doesn't generally cover the costs of us getting our dogs ready for adoption. Desexing, grooms, vet care, vaccinations, registration, training and variety of other things can go into these dogs. If you'd like to help either on a one off or regular basis we would be grateful for your donation.
