Louie

Good with: Dogs Not tested with: Cats, kids House trained: Yes Energy level: Medium Noise level: Some Hey there I'm Louie and I'm here to charm my way into your heart and home! Let me tell you a little about myself. First things first, I'm a big fan of food and treats. I mean who isn';t right? Lucky for you, this makes me super easy to train! When it comes to walks, I'm a pretty easygoing guy. I don't pull much, and I love taking my time to sniff all the sniffs along the way. Ive got some basic training under my belt. Ask me to show you my sit, down, spin, and shake! Potty training? Nailed it! Just be sure to pay attention to my cues. I'm working on solidifying some more commands but I'm a quick learner, so I'll get there in no time. Theres just one thing thats keeping me from being the most perfect pup. Im not a fan of being in my crate. Because Im food motivated, my current foster is playing crate games with me, giving me treats when Im in my crate. Ive made some progress! I now can go into my crate on command. I still dont like staying in for long periods of time, but my foster thinks Ill get there soon! Fun fact: Im SO food motivated that when I see my food bowl, Ill actually RUN into my crate and will eat all my meals in my crate with the door closed. If you work from home, I may just be the pup for you. Im a great WFH buddy. If youve got a dog bed (or couch!) in your office, Ill just curl up and snooze while you work. I wont bother you during any meetings/calls. Naps are my second favorite thing, (after food of course!), but I've got plenty of zest for life. I love playing with other dogs, running, fetch, tug, and wrestling! I love going on long walks and being outside. Do you like being outdoorsy? Me too! Bonus, this drains my energy. After a long walk or run, I';m more than happy to cuddle up and snooze next to you on the couch. Despitemy size, I can curl up into a tiny little croissant! During play time, I can sometimes get a little too excited and a little jumpy (but were working on it!). Although I havent been kid tested yet, I might need extra supervision with younger kids. Overall, I'm a leash-trained, crate-trained, playful, affectionate and eager-to- please pup. I get along great with other dogs. I would probably do best with a family who is home a lot, at least until I get this crate thing down. So, if youre looking for a goofy and loving companion to join your family, Im your guy! My foster guardian says: He is a handsome chap about 9 months old SMART as heck and wild about snacks. Although hes still of puppy age, he doesnt really have any of the usual puppy antics he doesnt chew on shoes and is fully house trained.

A house would be best and bonus if theres a yard for me to play in! Please visit our website www.ruraldogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing dog and to see other dogs available for adoption!
