I’ve Been Adopted!

Lou

This mellow fellow is ready for a home.   Lou is a 5-month-old black and tan hound mix.  Can't tell if he has a hound bark because he really doesn't "talk", except an occasional play bark at Ruby.  He is just a very quiet dog.  Happy to join in some fun or just lay at your feet.  We think he is very handsome, nice body structure and a cute curious face that is irresistible. He is the kind of dog you just want to cuddle up with and he reminds me of a floppy, albeit oversized, stuffed animal. He is kennel trained, has a good start on housetraining, and seems to be beyond the worst of the puppy chewing stage.  He is healthy, has his shots, and is ready to go.  All he requires is neutering next month.   He doesn't jump, knows sit, and NO.  Does pretty well with come if there aren't distractions.  He does need some leash training work.  Because he is so mellow and doesn't jump we think he would be great with kids, even small ones.  He gravitates towards activity and people so a fence is going to be necessary to keep him from wondering across the street to join the party (which he is prone to do at our house).  He requires a vigilant eye as he has an active nose, but not near what we have witnessed in full breed hounds, however I wouldn't leave food on the counter until he has learned some house rules.  Outside he can't be left unattended if not secured.  We aren't sure what else he is mixed with, but think he will probably be an average B & T size.  He has short sleek black hair that doesn't seem to shed.  This would make a great family dog or a companion for someone who just wants to hang out.  If you are looking for a Frisbee, agility, or flyball dog this isn't your guy.  Fishing, Sunday afternoons reading the paper, hiking in the woods, or watching your favorite TV show are more this dog’s speed.
