About Louie

Louie is a lively little guy who thrives on playtime. At just 5 months old, he's currently navigating the puppy teething phase, so his new family will need to be patient and committed to training. He is up to date with his vaccinations and will be neutered soon, ideally with a local adopter in northern NJ, as he will need a ride back for his surgery. Louie will also be microchipped and receive his one-year rabies vaccine at that time. This playful pup gets along well with other dogs, making him a great companion for a multi-pet home. If you have questions or need more details, just fill out our online adoption application on the Happy Tails Animal Rescue website. Thanks for considering adoption!
