Hi ya, I'm Louie!!👋 I'm about 4 years old and weigh 33 lbs. I've been in my foster home now for a couple of weeks, so my foster mom knows it's time to update what she's learned about me. I haven't had an accident yet, I'm crate trained but trusted outside of it after I settled in. I'm good on leash walks until there's something furry for me to chase, and I like being your copilot on car rides. I was good with the cats in the TX shelter where I came from, but I do prefer all the dog attention on me, so I'd be best as an only dog. I like to play fetch a few times, but I'm not really a toy dog. I've carried around a few things in my foster home, I didn't chew them, I just left them somewhere else. I'm a typical Frenchie in that I think it's my right to know and manage what's going on at all times, and I'm very influenced by my environment. I had a hard time in the shelter; it was too busy and things were always changing, that stressed me out and I was really hyper. But now that I'm in my foster home, I know the schedule, I have a predictable routine, and my foster family has taught me that they are in charge and I don't have to handle everything by myself. So here I'm calm, relaxed, and after my morning and evening walks I'm happy to hang under my foster mom's desk or snooze outside on the patio, even better when I can snuggle in a lap and snore away! I've been to a couple of adoption events. I felt the need to bark when the other dogs weren't behaving themselves, but was calm and relaxed when the other dogs were the same. I did best meeting older kids who didn't bring a lot of excitement, because then I got all excited too and jumped around. I am just a little bit partial to the guys I meet; I seem to get away with more when I'm around them.
Ideal Home
If you want an affectionate, opinionated, snuggly, smart, stubborn, and silly boy, and you're good at setting some rules and boundaries, I think we could have a wonderful life together! I'd do best as an only dog and with older kids who don't bring a lot of excitement.
