Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Louie! He is a handsome little fella at only about 25-30 pounds. Louie was stray trying to make it on his own....though shy and defensive at first, he is now learning quickly how to be spoiled and taken care of and the more he learns to trust you, the more fun he becomes! He looks at you curiously sometimes like he is trying to figure out us silly humans! Louie loves to fetch a ball (and shhhh....chase squirrels....don't tell!) and would most love a fenced yard to play and be safe! He really loves to ride in the car and will hop right in...ready to roll! He enjoys walks and seems fine with other dogs large and small as long as they are nice to him. He doesn't care for the bossy type! Cats unknown at this time. He is housebroken and working on learning other things to make him oh so perfect! We are not recommending Louie be with small children as he is a little spooked by fast movement and surprise visits! He is about 2-3 years in age and WILL NEED A STRONG LEADER TYPE DOG OWNER who is familiar with terrier personalities and can commit to further training for Louie's insecurities. NOTE: Louie will not be at the adoption events so prearranged meetings will be necessary.
We recommend and encourage you to complete an application at http://henricohumane.org/adopt/application-for-dogs/ before coming to our next adoption event. To find out if I will be attending our next adoption event, please email dogs@henricohumane.org.
Adoption events are every Saturday, excluding holidays, at the Petco located at 11331 W. Broad Street, Glen Allen, VA (next to Trader Joe’s) from 11:00am to 2:00pm.
