Story
Hi, I’m Billy! I can be a little unsure when I first meet new people, and sometimes I like to put on a tough-guy act when I’m feeling nervous. Once I have a moment to settle in, though, I’m just a sensitive guy looking for patience, kindness, and someone I can trust. Big changes have been a little overwhelming for me lately, so I’d love a home where I can feel safe, take things at my own pace, and let my personality shine through. Underneath it all, I’m hoping to find someone who sees the sweet dog I’m trying to be.

Story
Louis is adorable, but has his quirks. While he is tolerant of others in the household, he is definitely a one-person dog. At times he can become overprotective and may growl at others who get too close to his chosen one. However, he has never bitten any other human or animal. This is an energetic dog who loves routine. Part of that routine is going on walks. He walks well on a slip-lead leash and will heel well. That is until he sees another dog or squirrel and then it is time to bark! He can be redirected by turning around and he has been to numerous training sessions to improve his socialization with other dogs. While he has historically gotten along with a few other dogs, he might do best in a one dog home or at least a home with another calm well balanced pet. Because he is so energetic, keeping up with his focused leash walks, and maintaining his training will help Louie, as well his medication routine, which can be adjusted as necessary with a vet recommendation. He has been on Vet prescribed fluoxetine, (prozac) 10mg daily, he takes easily with a morning treat. It has definitely helped, but it is not a magic pill. Louie is cuddly and makes a great lap dog with his favorite human. He likes to be petted, but not on his head. He will growl if petting time is over and will usually jump down to lie on his bed in his crate for a nap. Louie would make a fantastic pet for someone experienced with an energetic pet like Louie, who has a fenced-in yard for him to run and play fetch. Louie is neutered, weighs 10#, is vaccinated, microchipped and current on heartworm and flea medications. His adoption fee is $400.
