About Uncle Lewis

Uncle Lewis is a roughly 2-year-old, 17-pound pup with a quiet and thoughtful soul. He's spent much of his life learning to rely on himself, and the concepts of love and safety are still new to him. Despite his cautious exterior, he has a tender heart that's just waiting for the right person to show him that the world can be a kind place. Lewis feels most secure around calm dogs and in his own space, where he can observe and decompress. He has an avoidant attachment style and will need ample time, patience, and gentle consistency to learn to trust humans. Loud noises, sudden movements, or harsh corrections would cause him to shut down, so a home environment that is both soft and respectful is essential. He's also quite clever and an escape artist, so secure fencing and a watchful eye will be necessary for his future family.

Ideal Home

Lewis would thrive in a home with at least one calm, confident dog who can help him learn the ropes. He can be overwhelmed by fast, unpredictable things like a child on a scooter, so a quiet, adult-only household is recommended.

Ongoing Health

No specific health concerns are noted.

Training & Support

Lewis is still learning to trust humans and needs a patient and gentle approach. Avoid loud voices, sudden movements, or physical corrections. He is an escape artist, so secure fencing is a must.
