Let me introduce little Louie, an adorable mix who stands at just 8 pounds and is around 6 years old. Can you believe this tiny treasure was once terrified in a shelter? 😢 Shaking and completely overwhelmed, he truly felt like he didn’t stand a chance. But hold on to your hearts, because we pulled him out to give him the second shot he so richly deserves! 💖 Now, Louie is safe and decompressing, showcasing his loving and loyal personality as he starts to thrive. This little prince loves soaking up the sunshine, embarking on park walks, and sniffing out new adventures. Oh, and did I mention? He loves being carried around like the royal pup that he is! 👑 🐶 **Personality & Behavior**: Louie is a star when it comes to his walks—he's good on a leash and even enjoys car rides, though fair warning, he might try to give driving a go himself! 😆 Barks at people during walks (a little protective, perhaps?), but nothing excessive. He’s house trained and has no separation anxiety—so you can enjoy your time apart without worry! Once he warms up, Louie's confidence shines🎉. While he may grumble at first, few things are more delightful than this little guy stretching out beside you as you both drift into dreamland. 🐕 **Interactions with Other Pets & Kids**: Here’s the scoop! Louie can mingle with dogs—though slow introductions are key. He’s had a great time getting to know his foster family’s 36-pound dog. He’s likely fine with big pups, too, as long as they respect his space. As for kids, older, dog-savvy children would be best for this little guy, as he appreciates his personal space while adjusting. 🏡 **Home Habits**: Louie wasn't crated in his past foster home, but he did quite well in a carrier and crate during vet visits. He even loves to nap happily with the other dog in their crate. However, he would much prefer to roam free, enjoying the comforts of home! Vetting and medical care are essential for Louie. He does have a manageable heart condition that requires daily medication and regular vet check-ups every three months. No need to fret; his future adopter will receive all the guidance needed to keep this delightful furball thriving! Louie is more than ready for his forever home. He may be a bit reactive at first—barking or growling if he needs space—but don’t let that discourage you! Once he trusts you, this little guy becomes your loyal shadow and snuggle partner! 😍 Adoption Fee: $250 - every penny goes to ensuring dogs like Louie are fully vetted and treated with the love they deserve.
