Louis : Now Adopted

Please read carefully before applying for this boy

Location Glasgow G32 area ,we would require the potential adoptees to make several meet and greets

Louis is looking for a new home due to his separation anxiety ,he can only be left for very short periods of time (maximum 15 minutes) needs persons willing to help him manage this,persons whom are at home all day to be with him.

This is a very good support book https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/julie-naismith/be-right-back/9781999296605?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=19884734874&cq_con=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIg4yi36TXgAMVNItoCR0lcgbvEAQYAiABEgIQW_D_BwE#GOR010640193

Louis has a lovely temperament and is such a friendly, loyal and loving dog. He is also still very keen to learn and takes up training easily eg. His owners have just taught him to lie and rollover which he picked up in a week. He struggles with separation anxiety and some reactivity which we hope with good effort, time and training he can overcome more. Unfortunately due to a change in his owners living circumstances and financial burdens they cannot give him the time he needs to progress.
