About

Meet Louie in LA - A Great Big Lap Dog!

This handsome boy with the long, soft coat is Louie, and he’s looking for his furever home! Louie adores people of all ages, and has no idea what a stranger is - they’re just friends you haven’t met yet! He also loves playing with dogs, and used to attend doggie daycare regularly. This active boy would love to have another dog in the home, or at least access to a dog park or daycare, where he can romp and play, and get out his happy energy! Walks with humans are also fun! Louie is leash trained, and he’s the kind of dog you can take with you places, as he wants to be with humans all the time. In true Pyrenees fashion, Louie likes to guard his family and warn of any incoming threats (like cats - cats are scary!). While he’s afraid of the kitties, he’s currently living with several and doing fine - he just avoids them. He’ll require a 6-foot wooden fence to keep him in the yard, but Louie would much prefer to hang out indoors on comfy dog beds, snuggled up with a toy or two! This super sweetie believes that he’s a lap dog, so his ideal home would be with people who love to cuddle and shower him with attention. Louie would make a great loving companion, and would fit into just about any home!

Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
