About Louis Mandeville
*No further applications at this time please.
Please note: to progress further you will need to complete an adoption application. Louis will be rehomed with another dog or his new friend Andre Mandeville.
What a sweetie! Louis is a delightful little guy, five months old, and having a great time learning about the world and what it is to be a dog. Friendly and curious, he enjoys lots of human and doggy company.
He loves to play with his buddy Andre, and we would love to find a home where they can both grow up together. Louis currently sleeps with Andre in a crate and will often sneak in there for a nap after a big play session. As a youngster, he is very playful and curious, and is learning from his older dog friend how to play nicely and respect another dog’s space. Louis will need training and guidance on how to behave with older or bigger dogs, but he is a very fast learner and is very eager to please. And he does respect other dog’s warnings.
Louis has taught himself to use a dog door and is almost housetrained, but may need to be supervised in a new home until he learns the rules for toileting, especially if he does not have a dog door to use. He is enjoying learning to walk on a loose lead next to to his human.
Louis will need some extra attention when he starts teething - some chew toys to help his new teeth and some human guidance about playing gently with other dogs and humans.
Louis’ foster mother describes him as ‘a beautiful, easy to train puppy’. He would benefit enormously from living with a companion dog. He has not yet met any cats, but we have no doubt he will be an easy-going companion for other members of his new adopted family.

Adoption details
We are a community fostercare network, not a shelter, and our dogs and cats are cared for in private homes. Note that we are very careful where we rehome our dogs and cats and we have an intensive process. If you want a quick turnaround we are not the group for you. If you seem like a good match for the dog of your choice we will organise a telephone chat, a meet and greet and a property check. We offer a six-week full refund, free assistance for six weeks for any issues, and a lifetime takeback policy with a fifty percent refund of the adoption fee, and of course an invitation to our adopters’ Christmas party.
We care for our dogs and cats and we want you to as well. We know that genuine applicants have no trouble with this process and understand that if we refuse you a dog or cat, it is because you are not the best match for that pet.
Our commitment to the dogs and cats in our care is total and we treat each one as if we are passing on a family pet. This may not suit you so we point out that there are equally great dogs and cats available in pounds, shelters and with other rescue groups.
If you are still interested, please download an application form from our website:

Please note that we do not take/make telephone calls prior to receiving an application.
Commonly asked questions and their answers are provided when you email us. Unfortunately we usually will not have time to reply to enquiries in more detail and will give priority to completed applications over enquiries. Priority will also be given to typed applications which are easier for us to read and to copy relevant parts.
We look forward to receiving your application.
