A LA estimate for a dog this size and coat. Excludes the adoption fee and anything unexpected.
Lucky’s world changed when the family he had known for years could no longer keep him. Through no fault of his own, this sweet senior boy lost the home he thought would be his forever. Lucky is a Portuguese Water Dog mix, approximately 10 years old, 40 pounds, and proof that age only makes a good dog even better. He’s crate trained, gentle, playful, and absolutely adores other dogs. He may be a little hard of hearing these days, but that just means he’s mastered the art of selective listening. What Lucky wants most is simple — kindness, comfort, and someone to love him as deeply as he’ll love them back. He still has plenty of happy moments left to share… playful wiggles, quiet companionship, and the kind of loyal heart only a dog like Lucky can give. After everything he’s been through, this good boy is just looking for a soft place to land and a person to call his own forever.
This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.
🧠 Temperament
Through no fault of his own, this sweet senior boy lost the home he thought would be his forever. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
Most adult dogs do well with 30-60 minutes of walking a day plus play and sniffing time.
✂️ Grooming
Brush regularly, bathe as needed, keep nails trimmed and ears clean.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
He’s crate trained, gentle, playful, and absolutely adores other dogs. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
