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.

Story
Meet Murphy 💕 a gentle senior gentleman who is hoping to find a quiet, loving family to spend his golden years with. Murphy is everything people love about senior dogs… calm, grateful, and easygoing. His favorite things include soft beds, naps, spray cheese, meal time, and simply being near his people. He’s perfectly content lounging beside you for movie night or relaxing in a sunny backyard. This sweet boy enjoys short walks, rides well in the car, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. In fact, Murphy is so submissive that he’ll happily let everyone else have their way! He has shown zero aggression toward people or animals and has even peacefully shared space with chickens and young goats. Murphy would thrive in a predictable, low-key home where he can enjoy companionship and plenty of cozy naps. While he does well with respectful children, he prefers a calmer environment and tends to retreat to a quiet room when things get too busy. As a senior, Murphy does have a few special needs. He takes arthritis medication and daily eye drops, and stairs aren’t his friend. He’s also scheduled for a dental evaluation to ensure he’s feeling his best. Despite his age, his foster has discovered that with proper care and a little freedom to explore, Murphy enjoys spending time outdoors and showing off a playful side that was hidden away for years. Murphy may take a little time to trust, but once he settles into a routine and learns you’re his person, you’ll have a loyal companion who asks for very little and gives so much in return. If you’re looking for a gentle soul to share your home and heart, Murphy may be the perfect match. ❤️ 📍 Fostered in Martinsville, IN Please share to help this deserving senior find the forever family he’s been waiting for. www.taffystouchrescue.com/adopt
