Little Lou~Adopted

Little Lou is a sweet and gentle little ball of fluff who will probably grow up to be a handsome Shepherd mix. Little Lou was picked up by Animal Services in Little Rock and ended up at Little Rock Animal Shelter. He seems to get along well with everyone, he's not afraid of anything, and is a typical happy little puppy who just needs some love and guidance to help him mature into a wonderful family companion. We don’t know much about his story before he came to rescue, but it’s a fair bet that his mother was either a stray, or belonged to someone who didn’t know or care to take the steps necessary to prevent her from becoming pregnant. Every year millions of these little puppies suffer and many die, because no one wanted them in the first place. They’re left to fend for themselves long before they’re old enough to survive on their own. DogsOnly encourages everyone to do the right thing and prevent accidents by spaying or neutering their pets. There are even resources in most communities to help with the cost of spaying or neutering. If you need to know more, contact us by sending an email to [email protected]. We’d be happy to point you in the right direction. Little Lou will grow up to be a first-class canine companion. However he is not for a family seeking an "easy" puppy, because there is no such thing. Please remember that as beautiful and cuddly as Little Lou is at the moment, he will grow into an adult canine companion in no time at all. You should also be prepared for the usual trial of rearing a young puppy including the chewing, crying, potty training, and constant demands. For this reason we would prefer that Little Lou’s new guardians have experience with young puppies and understand their special needs. Remember, just like kids, puppies grow up real fast, and need lots of patience, love and attention along the way. And just like Kids, raising a youngster into a healthy well socialized adult dog takes time and effort. To learn more about Little Lou you can send an email to [email protected] or complete an online adoption application by clicking the orange colored text links at the top or bottom of his official bio page located at www.dogsonly.org/470pop.html. We always try and answer all emails within 24 hours. All of our young and adult dogs require a 2 week home visit before finalizing the adoption process. This is to help ensure it is a good match for all involved without making a final commitment. All of our rescues are in private homes and not available to be visited outside of showing times. All DogsOnly volunteer fosters work with our rescues to ensure they are crate trained and most are also housetrained. Currently only one of the DogsOnly foster families have cats so we can only make our best guess as to how our rescues would do with cats. We rescue from high kill shelters and other environments where the dog’s life is in jeopardy. Once accepted into our Program, none of our rescues are euthanized. We provide for all their vet care, socialization and training until an appropriate home can be found. An adoption fee is involved which covers all necessary vet care to include spay or neuter, rabies, micro chipping and registration, all vaccinations (including all puppy shots, adult boosters and Bordatella), grooming, Frontline for flea/tick preventative, heartworm check if age appropriate and preventative, collar and 50% of basic training classes. DogsOnly relies solely on donations and is a 501(c)3 Humane Society. Our mission is to rescue dogs that most other groups are not interested in due to their size, breed, age, health or other various reasons, and to provide education resources for dog owners and those with an interest in the wellbeing of dogs. DogsOnly believes that no dog should be left behind. Thank you for your interest in rescue and in saving the life of a dog. Every day in the United States, 11,000 dogs die. Why Buy When You Can Save?
