Louie : Ready for adoption -

Please Read Carefully Before Applying For Louie

ONCE YOU SEE APPLICATIONS CLOSED THIS IS THE TIME WE MAKE CONTACT

Location Leicestershire Post Code Area LE3 ,you will be expected to travel ,to carry out several meet and greets.

Lovely little Louie is looking for his forever home ,due to change of circumstances within his family.

Now doing longer working hours,his family believe it’s totally not fair on Louie ,to be left for longer periods of time than what he is used too.

They adore him ,but feel he is not benefiting to getting all what they can give him at present,Louie must come first.

With heavy hearts they have decided to rehome Louie ,to persons or person who can give him all he requires for the future.

Request from Louie’s owners please do not change his name,as he responds so well to his name.

We do not want Louie left for hours on end,we like him in a home with at least one person at home most of the day.

Not to be passed around to family members,doggy day care etc,he needs stability in his life and persons willing to give him all he needs.

Louie does tend to guard various items ,you would need to learn to manage this which can easily be controlled ,if you are willing to put in the time to help him going forward.

Louie must be the only dog within his new home

Dog savvy children of 10 years and over (this is due to some resource guarding)

No cats

Must have a safe and secure garden ,if you have a back gate it must have a lock

Absolutely no showboating Louie for at least the first week.

Showboating means :- Showboating is someone showing the rescue dog off as soon as they are adopted. Either taking the dog to see people, go to pub or have lots of visitors to your house to say hello in the first week or so. The first week is about you and the dogs getting used to each other, allowing time to adjust and learning to trust each other rather than showing the dog off.

No newly adopted dog should be aloud of their lead until you have complete trust in one other.Too many dogs in the UK go missing and we do not want this happening to any of our adopted dogs.

If you live in rented accommodation you will be required to provide documentation that a dog can live with the property.

Hoildays if you have any weekends away planned,or any pre booked holidays please state on your application

Meet Louie

Type Sproodle

DOB February 2020

Colour Ebony with a white chest

Male who is neutered

Height 18 inches

Weight 14 Kgs

Microchipped checked

Vaccination booster ,to be administered next week

Up to date with flea/tick and worming treatments

Louie had issues with his ear ,the vet syringed and cleaned with no further problems.

We do request checking Louie’s ears at least once a week,the vet will advise what cleaning treatments should be used.

Louie digested a sock back in 2020 ,he under went a procedure to remove the item.

No known allergies

Grooming Requirements bath

Louie has a soft silky curly coat ,he only sheds minimally,all dogs shed some amount.

He is brushed through weekly at home,not a fan but happy when treats offered.

Attends a professional groomers every 5/6 weeks for a full groom.

Exercise

Louie has two good walks per day.

His recall is very good ,and we would expect his new owners to carry on with his recall training.

Louie does go off his lead ,but as a responsible charity we advise his new owners not to do this until you have complete trust with each other.

His que to come back is either his name or a whistle sound.

Louie is actually better off his lead than on his lead.

Our suggestion would be to hire a dog free paddock ,to engage with Louie ,and for him to get acquainted coming back to you.

Louie may pull on his lead on the occasion,some loose lead training would be beneficial.

He can be anxious around other dogs whilst on his lead,will bark at them

As stated better off his lead ,whilst meeting and greeting other dogs.

Does not show a huge amount of interest in other dogs when off his lead,bit shy and unsure .

Louie would certainly benefit with some socialisation lessons ,to help manage his shyness and anxiousness.

This would be a great bonding experience for both Louie and his new owners.

General information

Louie is a fun loving,intelligent boy,quick to learn,lively energetic fella.

Louie is very loving and loves being fussed with strokes and cuddles. Loves the inside of the back legs being tickled. He is extremely affectionate and will give kisses and try and get you to put your arm round him.

His general obedience is good he waits at the kerb side before going forward,he will also sit waiting for you to reattach his lead.

Will vacate a room when asked,will also give you his paw when offered a treat.

Louie can get excited when new people come to the home,if too many people arrive he takes himself off into another room,for some quiet time.

He does live with a very young child ,whom he is good around ,but at times it’s too overwhelming for him and he gets anxious.

Louie has a tendency to resource guard certain items such as tissues or other treasures.

This can managed but exchanging for a tasty treat

Because of this behaviour we will not rehome with very young children.

More info on resource management https://booksplea.se/mine-a-practical-guide-to.../...

Louie has given a warning whilst he was resource guarding,when a person tried to take the item away he was guarding.

They also pulled him by the collar,which was a mistake as he did not like this.

Louie is toilet trained ,but like we say any dogs can have accidents whilst in a strange and new environment .

We are told he can hold for many hours overnight.

He sleeps in the kitchen in his bed or on the sofa (never upstairs)

We do advise when a new rescue comes into your home,to sleep by them first few nights as they need this reassurance.

Louie can be left on his own as a charity we only state 3 to 4 hours maximum,dogs are social creatures and need human interaction.

Because Louie owners working hours have changed ,we do not want Louie being left too long on his own please in his new home.

He has never been destructive in his home

Not crate trained

Louie enjoys car travel,and sits on the seat connected to a seatbelt harness

Water :- Louie likes water and enjoys a swim

Dislikes :- Balloons

Likes :- Squeaky balls are his absolute favourite and rope toys, he likes to chew these.

Overall louie is a great dog but does need someone who can give him time and affection with a good exercise daily, he loves being outside even in the garden. He is very loving chap ,and what you put in ,you will be rewarded back by a great dog.

All potential appreciations will be subjected to a full vetting and homecheck

An adoption fee of £300.00 is required this goes back into the charity
