My name is
Louie!

Louie is my mother's dog, a 19-lb Cairn terrier, approx 7-yrs old . He recently moved to Hudson, WI from FL this spring with her. My father passed last winter, and we moved mom to be near us. My mother has diagnosed Alzheimer's, and now is in an assisted living apartment that allows pets, as long as the tenant can care for them. Mom has been showing decreased reliability in feeding and taking Louie out properly over the past nine months, and staff at the facility have indicated that Louie will need to be re-homed soon (early January 2025). We have all tried everything we can think of to keep them together. Louie is a good sweet boy, and loyal, but he can be overly protective of his owner, which can manifest with growling/snarling if his owner's space is encroached upon unexpectedly. He should likely not be homed with other small pets/young children. He is a cuddler, & loves walks and naps, and is a great guard dog. We just want to find him a loving home.
