Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Please, email rescue@fuse.net and request an application.
Louie the Lover! Looks and acts like a YORKIE. The people who surrendered him said they were told he was a Yorkie/Maltese mix. He was a GIFT that they really didn't need!
I only see YORKIE but maybe since he is only 6 pounds...maybe he gets the small Maltese size. But, the looks and the coat colors and growth are Yorkie for sure. Louie will require grooming!
Our rescue took Louie in at the end of April. At that time Louie could not walk on 4 legs - only HOP on his back legs. Louie was in horrible shape...starving, 2 injured front legs and was one phone call away from a bullet on a farm.
Since April 24, he has been a miracle boy. He eats Solid Gold kibble and loves 1/8 section of Fresh Pet chicken each day. He can run like the wind on all 4 legs and can even go up and down stairs. We are working on his housebreaking but he is not there yet. He sleeps in a canvas crate which can go with him. He sleeps in his crate without a diaper and sleeps a good 7-8 hours. During the day, he runs and plays and runs and plays.
Louie is up to date on shots. We have not gotten him neutered yet because the vet felt the extra hormones are assisting the recovery of his front leg growth plates. Neuter with microchipping is included in the adoption fee. We have marked him neutered because that is not an option. He will be neutered when the vet says it is good for him.
Louie is a typical 8 month puppy....full of energy and fun. He loves people and other dogs and cats. He seems to travel well and the groomer said he is a DELIGHT!
We are looking for an experienced, small dog owner with a good vet history of dog ownership. If you think you are a good match for our Louie, please, email rescue@fuse.net and request an application. The foster mom will also be happy to answer any questions. Adoption fee will "help" us pay for his neuter and other expenses that we have incurred.
