9-Year-Old Luzian Ran a Full 5K and Is Ready to Find a Forever Family

This week's Tuesday's Child is Luzian, a 9-year-old with a big imagination and an even bigger heart.

Luzian loves rough and tumble play, and he is getting bigger and stronger every day. Those who know him best call him a typical kid, and they mean it as the highest compliment.

He is affectionate, makes friends easily, and always wants someone to play with.

What Makes Luzian Special?

Luzian looks out for the people around him. If a classmate stumbles while reading aloud, he is ready to gently offer the right word, and he is especially kind to younger children.

He also has a competitive streak. Last October, he finished the Sean Joyce 5K, a full three miles, after plenty of practice. He was tired at the finish, but he showed his grit.

Need any more evidence of the Luzian's drive? Just watch him at musical chairs and you will see how much he wants to win, though he has also learned how to lose with dignity.

Luzian Also Loves Music

Luzian is a big fan of music, especially live music. Play him a song a couple of times and he will grab his keyboard harmonica to figure out the notes by ear. He also has rhythm and loves to dance. Besides that, he enjoys swimming, bowling, learning to rollerblade, and settling in for a good story. Oh, and he loves ketchup. Sometimes he puts ketchup on his ketchup.

What Kind of Family Is Luzian Looking For?

Luzian would thrive with a family that is active, loves the outdoors, and cheers him on as he tries new things. To learn more about Luzian, visit his adoption profile with MARE Inc.
