Any guesses about what Lucas is asking Santy Claus to bring him? It’s nothing as grandiose as replacing Rudolph to guide the sleigh — it’s to wind up under the tree of some patient humans who understand the needs of this active breed. Lucas was picked up as a stray — or so his finders said — near a freeway exit; he had some broken teeth, moderate alopecia on his back, and dirty ears. His health is now great, and his ears are clean, thanks to the veterinary staff, but he’s 5 years old and deserves better. Lucas has spent a year lingering in a kennel, and even though the volunteers and staff take Lucas out to walk and play, it’s not enough — his spirit is diminishing. Someone, please grant Lucas’ holiday wish! Speed the process to adopt or foster Lucas or any of our other pets by emailing PetAdopt@longbeach.gov or petfoster@longbeach.gov.
