A5226568 Louie | Rat Terrier
Channel: United Hope for Animals
Date: 2018-11-04

A5226568 Louie is a mellow 5-year-old caramel-and-white neutered male Rat Terrier who was surrendered by his owners, without a reason given, to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on October 9th. Weighing 26 lbs, Louie is a chunky monkey and needs a good diet and exercise to get him down to a proper healthy weight that will improve his quality of life. He is pretty afraid right now, having gone from the comfort of a safe home with his family to the unknown, loud and foreign shelter, all alone in a kennel. That means he’s a bit shy and fearful when you come up to the kennel and he takes a little time to come out of his shell. He’s going to be incredibly loyal and bond with his new family and will relax once he’s back in a safe environment. In fact, once he was sitting on his handler’s lap he relaxed over time. Louie has a medium energy level and needs a little work on a leash. He is tender-hearted and from what we saw when we had him out for photos, he seems non-reactive to other dogs. Louie should go to an adults or adults and teens only household given his current wariness. Once he’s had some time to get used to his new home and with some love and attention from his new family, this boy is going to blossom and be a total love bug.
