Story
Louie is a sweet poodle mix with a lot of energy. He is approximately 5 years old and weighs 17 pounds. He would benefit from a backyard, as he needs a lot of exercise. He's potty trained, neutered, doesn't shed, and he walks great on a leash. And he's great at cuddling! Louie needs more attention than I can give him and more room to run. He's probably best as an only pet, I noticed he gets overstimulated with other pets in the home.
