Owner Info: DOB March 6, 2011. Louie is a very handsome boy whose owners will be starting a new business that will take them on the road. As difficult as it is for them, they've made the decision to try to find Louie rescue or a new home as he "isn't happy" when they're at work all day. They write, "He used to run and wag his tail a lot. Played a lot too. He isn't doing that as much anymore. He has started bumping into things as well, more so than usual. Its just really sad to see such a young dog like this.....He needs to be with a family or person that will give him all the love that we did and can be with him most of the time". Louie is an indoor dog with run of the house, he is housebroken and leash trained. Louie is good with people of all ages and both male and female dogs. His owner says that he has never been around cats but she's sure he would be fine. Louie is a smart little boy and knows some commands including Come, Cookie, Go Nite Nite, and Hungry! He is not possessive of toys, treats, or food and has never shown any aggression. Louie is completely blind due to Glaucoma. They want us to know that Louie is a very loving dog! They say, "He loves people, wants to be happy and have someone with him most of the time. He likes to sleep with you too. He loves toys and he LOVES to eat."
