Male Dog, Labrador Retriever
Labrador Retriever / Pit Bull Terrier
Description:
Louie was found back in March 2024 emaciated and terrified wandering the streets. After offering him food he allowed himself to be carried to his new foster home where he was treated for fleas ticks and worms. Since then he has been neutered chipped and vaccinated. Although he is slow to trust new people and situations he has opened up so much and is such a goofy sweet and funny guy. He loves playing with his toys and his ideal day is to just be at home with his foster people and their dogs. He absolutely loves other dogs big and small! He knows sit stay come here go lay down and give me kisses. He's potty trained and kennel trained (he has been known to get into a bit of puppy mischief when left unsupervised for extended periods of time). We are working on building his confidence in public because due to his early trauma from life on the streets and most likely abuse/neglect from humans he can get very nervous/shy in unfamiliar settings especially loud situations. He does love routine riding in the car and tends to do pretty well on hikes/beach adventures. When he was found he was 15 lbs and now is 45 lbs. He hasn't gotten much taller (he's kind of short and long) and isn't expected to. We think he is around 8 months old now and probably a lab/pit/? mix. Although he hasn't had direct contact with kids or cats he doesn't react when passing on walks. He does take a few days to trust new people and tends to vocalize his insecurity but is a pretty quick learner and shows no signs of aggression of any kind. With a calm environment and some patience there is no doubt that Louie will make a warm addition to his new household! We are helping Louie's current guardian to rehome him. Please fill out our online application and we will forward to them. Adoption fee would be minimum $100 donation to Furry Friends Rescue. If you have specific questions please send them through and we will put you in touch with his current guardian.
