Chicago, IL – Adopt Louie the Cuddly Chihuahua

Louie is a very friendly, playful, quiet and loving, nine-pound, eight to nine-year-old, male Chihuahua looking for a loving guardian.

Louie was dropped off at Chicago Animal Care and Control after being found stray. He is so outgoing that he’ll crawl into anyone’s lap.

Louie seems fine with other cats and small dogs after his initial introduction. But his true love is humans. He loves walks and hanging out with his people. He’d do best with children over 12 due to his age.

Louie has been recovering nicely from a skin infection... after a three-month stay at the rescue his hair is growing back. He’s a sweet, happy guy whose tail is always wagging. He doesn’t appear to know formal commands, but he will dance for treats and take them gently from your fingers. Louie lets you pick him up and hold him. In fact, he loves snuggling.

He is de-wormed, up-to-date on vaccines. Due to a heart murmur, he has not been neutered. To meet and possibly adopt him, please fill in the on-line adoption application at http://famousfidorescue.com/rescueforms/machform/view.php… and follow up by contacting Gloria at fido@famousfidorescue.com or 773-907-0305.

His adoption fee of $250 benefits the rescued pets of Famous Fido’s.
