I'm a bit of a wallflower, preferring to observe from the sidelines before jumping into the fray. Independence is my game, though I do enjoy the company of my fellow canine companions. We have a blast together, exploring our surroundings and engaging in friendly play. I may be a little shy, but once I warm up to you, you'll see my loyal and loving side. I'm the perfect companion for someone who understands my need for personal space, yet appreciates my love for other dogs. Adopting me means gaining a friend who will respect your space, cherish your companionship, and bring joy to your life with my playful antics with other dogs.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Louie 2. 0! Thanks to new 4LD fosters Erin and Adam Rose who come to us with some great previous foster experience, we were able to intake this little guy on Saturday. This is what they have to say about Louie so far: Louie is the absolute SWEETEST dog! At only 8 lbs, Louie packs in a whole lot of personality. He loves to sit on your lap and snuggle all day. He will follow you everywhere you go and greet you with hundreds of kisses every time you sit back down! He gets so excited to be around people that he will spin and twirl and hop. Louie is friendly with other dogs but really prefers to spend his time with people. Louie is good with children and has definitely been spoiled previously. He prefers his wet food and is slowly adjusting to having some hard kibble added in slowly. Bottom line is he is looking for a home where he can continue to be treated like a Prince. Louie is crate trained and he is working hard on housebreaking!! Louie 2.0 is a fairly quiet dog and has only barked one or two times when someone came through the front door. He doesn’t really play with dog toys at all but was VERY FOND of large stuffed animals. Unfortunately, he was digging real hard at them, and we hope that will all change now that he is neutered. Louie came to us not knowing any commands or tricks, but he is smart and willing to learn and is treat motivated!! He will also need some basic leash training as well. If you feel that Louie 2.0 is the right fit for you and your family, you can apply for him at 4luckydogs.org Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 13, 2024, 7:58 pm

Story
Dansoy will be 2 years old on 02/14/2025 He is a sweet,dosile,loving dog that needs a great deal of continous attention and patients. We accepted him from a couple that could not train him due to what seems to be seperation anxiety disorder. I have experience in training dogs. We have another Shih Tzu that we adopted at 12 months old after being abandoned. He trained easy and adapted well. Dansoy understands his routine; however if you leave him say in the bedroom and close the door just to go to another room for a few mintues or if you leave him to go run a few errands that you can't take him to, he will soil your bed and or carpet. Dansoy needs a retired female or couple that will prioritize him as thier only pet. They need to be able to keep him with them most of the time without fail. I suggest consulting a professional that could analize him and possibly assist in retraining him. He is a beatuiful sweet boy. He loves clinging to Mommy mostly, but also warms up adorably to Daddy.

I'm taking over care for my 101 yr old mother, Dog is playful and active, but play level is high and dog is very passionate aboyt playing tug of war5 and fetching, but he's aggressive sometimes his claws and teeth contact the skin, not biting, just playing. My mother is frail and I fear Burly could hurt her. He's great with kids, loves going for walks, house trained. Dog obtained from homeless person who needed help, was supposed to be a temporary arrangement, but the person still can't take the dog. Kennel, food, toys and treats will be included.
