Louie has spent quite a bit of time getting to know the team at our favorite vet office. First when he got out of the shelter and was so sick, then for a checkup and treatment for mange and now today again for his neuter, dewclaw removal, hernia repair chip x-rays and tattoo. Every time he goes in he makes friends. First Nadia, the newest vet at Trenant Park Pet Clinic, then our very favorite vet, Dr. Harris and of course all the tech's and staff. All of them are amazed at what a wonderfully tempered dog he is. Never a growl or a raised lip while they poke and prod and make him uncomfortable.
And today again he won over complete strangers. While walking him in the strip mall this morning a couple of the staff from a local fish store remarked about how nice he was. And after I picked him up we went by there and they were kind enough to give him some salmon treats just because he had had a hard day.
While Louie can be a handful at times and has more energy than is good for him, he loves everyone.
Now that he is ready to go, here is what the perfect family would look like. They would be people that will continue to feed him a high quality diet, take him for obedience classes and find time to exercise both that body and brain. What would be even more perfect is to find a furry friend to spend his days with. While Louie shows no aggression, he does prefer the ladies. This may change because he has now been neutered but only time will tell. He has had a couple of run in with the boys but backs down quickly when he is put in his place.
Louie needs a home of his own. He does bond very quickly and the move from foster to forever home will be stressful for him. It may even mean that the mange may come back but with the diet he is on, this should clear up quickly again.
