Description
Lucky is a Medium/Large sized dog weighing approximately 27–32kg. He is neutered, vaccinated and has no known health issues.
Lucky was rescued in Curtea De Arges Romania. He was described as very sweet and affectionate but he could become jealous of other dogs. He moved to his current adoption home in December 2025, intially for foster and then he was adopted a month later.
Unfortunately Lucky's owner has made he decision to surrender him due to his anxious behaviours around unknown men on the property, due to this being a public centre it it a risk with strangers walking on and off the premises.
Lucky is currently living at an animal centre with three other dogs and spends most of his time in a kennel within a heated barn, sharing with another dog. He settles well in this environment, remaining calm and quiet while waiting for feeding or time outside. He has not been left alone as he is always housed with other dogs, and there have been no reports of destructive behaviour.
Lucky is described as a bold and generally content dog who enjoys human companionship and often prefers spending time with the people caring for him rather than playing with the other dogs. He enjoys affection, tolerates grooming well, and has allowed handling such as veterinary care without issue, including procedures like having his anal glands expressed.
Within the centre he lives alongside other dogs, however he has shown some controlling or dominant behaviour and can initiate dog to dog conflict. He may react negatively if he is on lead while other dogs approach him off lead, and in these situations he has attempted to bite. Once all dogs are off lead together he is generally more relaxed and interactions are calmer. Due to this behaviour it is felt that Lucky would be better suited to a home where he is the only dog.
Lucky has also shown territorial behaviour within the animal centre environment, particularly towards unfamiliar men entering the property. There has been an incident where several dogs, including Lucky, surrounded a male visitor. During this event the visitor was carrying a bag which Lucky took into his mouth. While Lucky has not bitten a person, he has displayed aggressive behaviour and has growled. The team have observed that he can be wary and reactive when new people enter the environment unexpectedly, particularly men. Lucky would therefore need a home with older dog savvy children 12+ and dog savvy cats.
However, when introductions are carried out calmly and in a controlled manner with someone Lucky already trusts present, he is able to accept new people. With repeated visits and gradual introductions he has been able to relax and accept individuals by the second or third meeting. Once he becomes familiar with someone he is generally affectionate and comfortable in their presence.
Lucky does not show strong resource guarding behaviour towards the people caring for him. Staff have been able to remove items from his mouth without issue if he has picked something up that he should not have, and he responds well to simple commands such as “down”, “stay”, and “no”.
He walks calmly on lead within the centre environment and appears relaxed while doing so. He has not yet been walked outside of the centre grounds so his behaviour in new environments is currently unknown. He is reported to be comfortable around female handlers and has shown good behaviour with children and with animals in nearby enclosures, generally ignoring them.
Due to Lucky’s territorial behaviour and his difficulty with unfamiliar people entering his space, the centre feels he would be best suited to a quiet home with a consistent routine and limited visitors. A household where introductions to new people can be carefully managed would help him feel more secure. A home where owners are present and able to manage introductions to visitors, particularly male visitors, would be ideal. It is also recommended that he be the only dog in the home.
The reason for seeking a new placement is due to the environment of the animal centre, where people regularly come and go. Staff cannot guarantee that someone will always be present to safely manage introductions when visitors arrive, which creates a risk of further aggressive incidents. For this reason the centre feels Lucky would be safer and more comfortable in a stable home environment with fewer unfamiliar people entering his space.
Despite the challenges described, Lucky is considered a very affectionate and people focused dog with those he trusts. He enjoys human contact, seeks out companionship, and forms close bonds with the people caring for him. The team caring for him describe him as a lovely dog and are hopeful that, with the right home and careful introductions to new people, he will settle well and thrive in a calmer environment.
