A new picture of Louie


You must excuse the mess. This picture was taken the night before the big garage sale and the house was filled to the rafters with wonderful stuff. The sale was a huge success and we would love to thank all those that donated to it and all those that came out and supported us. All the monies raised will go to health care for our dogs, both those in foster care right now and those needing to come in.
The ever busy Mr. Louie will soon be ready to take applications for his forever home. He is due to have all his dangly bits removed and as long as the family that takes him is prepared to manage the mange I am confident he will do well. Louie has not met anyone that he doesn’t love. He still isn’t sure about the neighbor’s cat but I can’t tell if it’s because he wants to play or eat it.

Louie’s heath is steadily getting better. His mange is somewhat under control. He needs to be fed a high quality diet, preferably a raw food diet, supplements and weekly baths to keep the mange at bay. Some of his balder spots are coming back but there are a few areas that still need to heal
Louie needs an owner that can keep up with him. One that will go to obedience classes and show Louie what is expected of him. Louie does not respond well to unfair or harsh treatment and only requires fair, consistent positive leadership. He would do well with another dog to keep him out of mischief, because left to his own devices, well, he is a puppy still and gets into anything he can. We really want Louie to find his place in his own home. He has been pushed around enough and deserves the chance to bond deeply with someone he can trust.
