Do you want to give a pup a second chance? We are looking for a foster for Louie.
Meet lovely Louie. Saluki mix, 14 months old. He would love a new home for Christmas.
Currently with a family but after months of trying to settle him, Louie is unfortunately still very scared of the cat which means he's living in a heightened state of anxiety a lot of the time, causing unwanted behaviours and hindering his progress. He has clearly shown he cannot live with cats. Because of his breed, we'd also recommend he not mix with other small furries.
Louie is clean in the house. Sleeps all night in his crate and will go in his crate a couple of times a day too and doesn't show any signs of separation anxiety when left. He will play fetch with a ball for hours. He is getting good at his basic commands and seems to enjoy learning. He is very food driven so this helps but on the flip side he resource guards his food so this needs to be managed. For this reason, we recommend no children in the first instance - although he does get on well with kids, we think it is best he doesn't live with them until his resource guarding has been fully addressed.
He is very affectionate and happiest chilling in the lounge with his human. He is generally good on a walk. He can pull on a lead at the start but then eases off. He has some time off a lead although has selective hearing and doesn't always come back straight away so he has a mixture of on the lead walks, long line walks and lots of play time in the garden.
He is friendly with dogs and humans though sometimes nervy - again, due to this anxiety we feel he's be better as an only dog, or with a relaxed older dog to show him the ropes. Meet and greets will have to be arranged between him and any other dog to ensure a good fit.
The current owners have sadly concluded that he is not in the right place and are keen to find him his perfect match where he can finally relax and progress with his training and true personality. They will provide his crate, bed, accessories, toys etc. Please ask if you have any questions.
