Here's what the humans have to say about me:
NOTE: All our Cupids are fostered in private homes. An approved application MUST be on file before proceeding with meet-and-greet. The online application can be found at http://www.caninecupids.org/adopt-.html. **Applications for this adoptable pet will only be accepted from potential families within a 2 to 3 hour drive from the city of Milwaukee.**
Meet LP!
I am a spunky, sweet pup who enjoys playing, going for walks, and snuggling with my foster mom. I get along well with my canine foster brother and feline foster sister!
When it comes to other dogs, size doesn’t matter. I play best with dogs that equal my energy level, so I may be too exuberant for a senior canine companion. I’m a bit shy when meeting new humans but quickly warm up once I get to know you.
I am crate trained but prefer to spend my alone time in foster Mom’s kitchen on my bed or with my foster doggy brother. Everyone is so proud of the great strides I’ve made with “potty outside.” I wish I had known it was so important to them earlier!
If you would like to meet me, I’d sure like to meet you! Please contact Canine Cupids today.
LP’s adoption fee is $250 and he is being fostered in southeastern Wisconsin. Because all our Cupids are fostered in private homes, an approved application (from an adopter within a 2 to 3 hour drive of Milwaukee) MUST be on file before proceeding with a meet-and-greet. The online application can be found at http://www.caninecupids.org/adopt-.html.
If you are interested in adopting, here are the next steps for you to take:
1. Complete & submit an application at http://www.caninecupids.org/adopt-.html
2. You will be notified by our Adoptions Team when your application is processed and approved (usually within 48 hrs)
3. Once approved, your application is sent to the foster family, who will then be able to provide you all the information imaginable on the dog as well as set up a meet and greet.

Our Thoughts on Visual Breed Identification
Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable. For most of our adoptable Cupids we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We think it’s most important is to get to know each dog as an individual! We then do our best to describe each of our adoptable Cupids based on their personalities in order to determine whether they’ll make good companions based on prospective adopters’ lifestyles. Dog behavior is not exclusive to breed — it’s a complex mix of nature and nurture.
