My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Name: Louis
Nicknames: Louie. Lulu.
Breed: Chihuahu mix
Sex: Male
Age: ~12-13 years old
Weight: 20 lbs.
Before OMD: Brought to the city shelter to be euthanized by his previous owners because they decided he was too old. The shelter, thankfully, took Louis in and immediately looked for help from a rescue partner instead - that partner was us and he became ours.
Energy level: Overall low with a few laughable crazy moments when he runs around with his toys.
What we love: His beautiful grey muzzle. His stoic face hinting he is solving all of the world’s problems. His love for his people and snuggling.
What makes us laugh: When he makes his flying leap attempts to get on the couch, but ultimately misses almost every time. The way his lip gets stuck on his gums revealing his snaggletooth. When he's extra comfy and he strikes a great superman pose on his back.
What he loves most: Snuggling his foster sibling on a soft spot. His lamb chop. Naps. Sunbathing.
You should know: He's a resource guarder, and at 12 years old, we don't see this behavior getting much better. Basically, when he has high value items or is eating his meals, he should just be left alone.
Redeeming quality: He is *excellent* on leash. A total dream.
Dogs: Sure, he loves 'em! He'll just need to be separate with toys and meals.
Cats: Good with him.
Kids: No thanks! This old man is looking for a retirement home, not a daycare.
House-trained: Yes, but will occasionally mark. Belly bands are your friend and he's cool with wearing them.
Crate-trained: Yep - he protests at first, but ultimately settles down.

Louis is neutered, had a dental, vaccinated, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is available for adoption to residents of CT and IL and surrounding states. If you are interested in adopting, please apply on our website.

Additional adoption info

One More Dog Rescue (OMD), formerly Ruff Start Happy Tails, requires all potential adopters to fill out an adoption application and agree to a home visit prior to any adoption. Once the application is approved, a meet and greet will be scheduled between the potential adopter (s) and the dog.

When a dog is adopted through One More Dog, an adoption contract must be signed, and we ask that a donation in the amount of $500 ($350 for seniors) be made at the time of adoption to help our rescue cover a portion of the costs we incur through pull fees, vetting, and training.

Applications can be found here: http://www.omdrescue.org/adoptapp.html
*We will adopt to approved applicants (who are able to meet & adopt in person) who live in CT and the surrounding areas: New England, New York, and New Jersey.
