About Louie

Louie came to the shelter after being relinquished by his owner alongside his buddy Percy. At first, he might seem a bit shy, but with gentle affection and patience, he reveals his sweet nature. Louie enjoys playful moments with chew toys and balls, and there's potential for him to even fetch once he's fully comfortable. He shares his kennel with Percy, where they love to cuddle post-playtime. This handsome Shih Tzu has a long coat, currently shaved for easier maintenance, and sports lovely apricot and beige colors mixed with white and cream. Louie is scheduled to be neutered soon, and applications are open for those ready to welcome him home. Each adoption from Green Hills Animal Shelter includes essential services such as vaccinations and a starter food bag, making it easier for you to get started with your new friend.
