Estimated breed: Chihuahua mix

Louie entered a local shelter as part of a hoarding case. Over 63 chihuahuas were rescued from a single home which was completely trashed and filled with urine, feces, and actual trash. They were taken to a local shelter and provided with proper medical care and behaviorally assessed before joining a few different local rescues. We were lucky enough to have Louie join us and begin his search for a forever home! 

Louie is a lover to the people who he knows and trusts! He can be wary of strangers, but once you're in his circle of trust, he's a loyal and loving boy. Louie lives with multiple dogs of all different sizes and does well with them all. He also lives with a cat (who is bigger than him) and doesn't bother him at all. Louie is in foster care with two older teens who he does great with, but due to his typical chihuahua spiciness he will not be placed with children under 12 years old. Louie is crate trained but can also be trusted out of the crate for short periods of time. He never had access to the outside for the first 6 years of his life, so his new owners should expect to continue working on house training with him. Fortunately, his fosters have done an amazing job at teaching him to potty outside and he only rarely has accidents or marks inside now! Louie is a loyal boy who in typical chihuahua fashion, becomes very attached to his person and shows them a lot of affection once he knows and trusts them.
