Meet Luke, a 7-month-old hound pup who loves to smile

Meet Luke, who wants to be your puppy.

This joyful young guy has the sweetest way of introducing himself: a goofy little grin that he flashes when he’s feeling shy and wants you to know he’s a good boy.

Between that smile, his floppy hound-dog ears, and constantly wagging tail, Luke has a way of making everyone around him smile right back.

Luke is a sweet, affectionate dog who loves being loved. He takes treats gently, enjoys spending time with people and is always up for fun, walks and new adventures.

Beneath his happy-go-lucky personality, though, is a puppy who’s still building confidence. He can be a little shy in new situations and has plenty of endearing awkward puppy energy as he figures out the world around him.

What Luke needs most is a family willing to go at his pace, celebrate his victories and help him grow into his best self with patience, cuddles and encouragement. In return, you’ll get a loyal companion whose joy is contagious and whose biggest wish is simply to belong.

If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy young dog to grow alongside, Luke is ready to meet you. Come see that famous smile for yourself and help this wonderful boy find the loving home he’s been dreaming of.

National Museum of the American Latino to be housed in historic Smithsonian building

The Smithsonian Institution has decided to put the National Museum of the American Latino into an existing, historic building, rather than constructing a new one. The Smithsonian Board of Regents on Monday designated the Arts and Industries Building, a 145-year-old redbrick Victorian structure located between the Smithsonian Castle and the Hirshhorn Museum, as the permanent site of the National Museum of the American Latino, which Congress authorized in 2020. In 2022, the Smithsonian narrowed its survey for permanent locations for the National Museum of the American Latino and the American Women's History Museum to four locations near the National Mall on land owned by the National Park Service. The Arts and Industries Building, located at 900 Jefferson St. SW, was one of the four sites. New construction on National Park Service land would require congressional approval. However, since the Smithsonian already owns the Arts and Industries Building, the institution can place the National Museum of the American Latino in the existing building without additional legislation.
