Lux

Meet Lux, a four-year-old mixed breed dog from Birmingham, AL, who is looking for her next loving home where she can be cherished. With her beautiful black and brown coat and sweet, floppy ears, Lux is ready to meet her next family where she can continue to thrive.

Lux has been through a lot in her past, and because of previous trauma, she’s a bit timid with new people. She’ll need a calm and understanding adopter who can give her the time and space she needs to build trust and feel secure. While she’s a little shy at first, she’s not aggressive—just cautious. Once she feels comfortable, she’s a loving companion who enjoys being around her people, especially when they’re relaxing at home. She has a soft spot for chew toys, which help her feel at ease.

Lux is house-trained, microchipped, spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations. She’s learned a couple of commands, like "come" and "shake," and with patience, she will likely continue to blossom. Lux is great with cats and generally gets along well with them. When it comes to other dogs, she’s selective—she can be friendly with some but may not get along with others.

While Lux has shown no signs of challenging behavior like biting, she does prefer the company of men, and her new family should be prepared to help her adjust gradually, allowing her to feel safe and loved. She can be left alone for short periods and has no major anxieties beyond her initial shyness with new people.

Lux thrives in a home where she can be the constant companion she loves to be. If you have the heart and home to offer this sweet girl a fresh start, she is ready to meet you! Could Lux be the perfect match for your family? Reach out to learn more about welcoming Lux into your home!
