Louis

Hello there! I'm Louis, and I'm officially accepting applications for my forever family. 
APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR LOUIS  
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM  
 https://forms.gle/tw2vwbuPAWszip9x8

My Ideal Home:    
• I'll need daily exercise - walks, park or beach trips, and playtime in the backyard will keep me happy and healthy.
• Secure fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent) is essential to keep me safe.
• A good-quality dry food diet will help support my dental health.
• Most importantly, I'm looking for lots of love and attention from my family. I want to be part of the family indoors, not left outside without interaction.
• Because I can be shy in new situations, a home without little ones who may accidentally startle me would suit me best.
• Socialisation is just as important as training. Taking me to new places, introducing me to all sorts of people, dogs, and other animals will help me grow into a confident, well-adjusted dog.
• Training, training, training - it's essential that I receive consistent guidance in every aspect of my life so I can become the very best companion as I mature.
• Because I may have had a sheltered start, I can be shy in new situations and new people, continued socialisation will really help build my confidence. I'm already becoming braver at the shelter!
•
Dog Compatibility:

• I can be a bit full on meeting new dogs so I will need a submissive dog that will tolerate me as I like to stand over them. I do like having a doggy friend but just need to find the right companion.

Cat / small animal:
• I cannot go to a home with Cats - I will chase. I do NOT like them.

 
My Paw-some Perks: 
• I'm gentle and placid in nature, and I'm generally a well-mannered dog.
• I absolutely love attention, cuddles, hugs, kisses and head scratches, and I'm quite partial to snoozing on the couch with my humans once I get to know you.
• I'm clever, enthusiastic, and would thrive with a family who'll continue my training and maybe even teach me some cool new tricks.

Training:
• I haven't had any formal training yet, so I'll need help with all my basic manners and life skills.
• I'm shy when meeting new people and in unfamiliar environments, and I can be extremely timid when entering buildings or homes. I'll need a patient family who will allow me indoors, move at my pace, and gently build my confidence through ongoing socialisation.
• I'm not housetrained yet, as I haven't previously been allowed inside, so I'll need guidance and consistency to learn.
•I dont like to be left alone and Im not fussed on Storms and Fireworks.

Please Note: You'll only be able to meet Louis if your application is approved. Successful applicants will be invited to the shelter for a meet-and-greet, and any dogs currently in the home must attend as well
