About Luke

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Dog
  • Current Size: 7.5 Pounds
  • Potential Size: 16 Pounds
  • Current Age: 11 Years 1 Month (best estimate)

Luke, Leia, Lolita and Lincoln were born on June 1, 2014. It was a home birth! Their mom, Sugar, had been surrendered to our local humane society and was clearly about a month pregnant. Sugar is some sort of terrier – similar to a Cairn, like Toto from “The Wizard of Oz” – and is about 15 pounds. 

The humane society knew that Unconditional Love Pet Rescue (ULPR) would be a better environment for a pregnant mom and for the care of newborns, so they contacted us immediately. We got her placed into a foster home with a ULPR volunteer right away! She had her pups a few weeks later surrounded by her foster family and another ULPR volunteer who is also a trained Veterinary Technician.

The pups are not food aggressive at all nor do they over-eat. We can leave out a bowl of Purina ProPlan dry puppy food and they only eat when hungry… it can have kibble in it for hours. The pups have all had their puppy shots including bordetella. They are used to having a bath and having their nails trimmed. They squirm a bit but are well behaved. We hope to have them used to a leash and “sitting” before the go to their forever homes.

They all enjoy playtime outside in the outside fenced area on the patio. All are currently pee-pad trained and very social having been raised in a private home with 3 other dogs (including their mom) and a cat, and lots of visitors.


Luke was the first-born.  He weighed in at 7 oz. at birth, and at 10 weeks he is 7-1/2 lbs.  We expect him to be perhaps a bit bigger than his mom, maybe in the 17-20lb range. He is a snuggler - you pick him up and he wants to hug! He is a bit shy at first and very protective for some reason of his sister Lolita. He looks a bit like a mini Labrador retriever.  His coat is smooth, and not wiry like his Mom’s.  He loves to play and will find a special toy and run off with it to try to hide it! He has been a favorite of his foster Dad since he was born.  

Thank you for checking out our wonderful orphans. If you would like to find out more please email or call Diane at...diane@ulpr.org or 870-577-3744.
