What we know: Luigi came to Colorado Puppy Rescue as a bottle baby in December 2025 after a pregnant dog, who was scheduled for a spay-abort at one of the veterinary clinics CPR works with, went into labor before the procedure. The puppies were relinquished to the clinic, which initially reached out to CPR for help with two 1-day-old puppies, including Luigi. Another puppy was adopted by a veterinary technician, while the remaining three stayed with clinic staff until one sadly passed away. At 9 days old, the final two puppies were transferred to CPR's care. As he grew, Luigi developed much more slowly than his siblings and began experiencing seizures. He was eventually adopted by his foster family but was later returned when they realized they could not provide the lifelong medical care he requires, and their busy lifestyle made it difficult to keep his seizures well managed. Luigi will need daily seizure medication for the rest of his life, and his future family should be prepared for the ongoing time, commitment, and financial responsibility that come with his medical needs.
From the foster: I’m pretty cute, right? Well, this cute little face comes with some very important medical needs.
You see, I have a seizure disorder, so it’s very important that my future family understands what life with me will look like. I take anti-seizure medication three times a day (every 8 hours), every day, and keeping me on a consistent schedule is essential. I’m looking for a family whose lifestyle allows them to reliably meet my medical needs. Although I will always experience seizures, I will require my family’s close collaboration with a veterinarian to ensure the ongoing management of my care.
Despite my medical needs, I’m a happy, affectionate little guy with so much love to give. I get along great with other dogs, absolutely adore kids, and my favorite place is wherever my people are. I’m not much of a crate fan—I would much rather be by your side, and at bedtime, I’m happiest snuggled up in bed with my humans.
I’m still working on potty training and will thrive with a patient, consistent family who will continue helping me learn. Like any 7-month-old puppy, I have lots of playful puppy energy! I love to chew, give kisses, and lick my favorite people whenever I get the chance. I can also be a pretty vocal guy. New sights, sounds, and unfamiliar things can make me excited, so I like to let everyone know what I think with a few barks.
If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion and are ready to commit to my special needs while giving me the consistency I need, I promise to fill your life with love, kisses, and endless puppy cuddles.
