About Louie

Meet Louie, a gentle and loving senior Poodle mix fondly known as “Cannoli.” With his beautiful blond fur and kind eyes, he has a heart full of love. Approximately ten years old and weighing about 28 pounds, Louie doesn’t let his limited vision hold him back. He navigates his space using his nose and has a good memory for his surroundings. Though he may be a bit hard of hearing, a calm and predictable routine helps him feel secure. Louie is great with other dogs and children, making him a perfect family companion. He enjoys short outings and should ideally be in a home without many stairs, or with someone who can help him outside since he has a slight limp. Daily eye drops don’t faze him; he waits patiently for them. Louie loves belly rubs, treats, and snuggling with his head in your lap for extended cuddles. He’ll thrive with a calm, patient adopter who appreciates his sweet nature. His foster family describes him as the most gentle and loving dog, truly an angel who just wants to be loved for who he is. Your new best friend is just one click away.
