It’s been a long process for Louis, we don’t know his story prior to being dumped in Romania’s Bals kill shelter with a crippled leg, but it would have been painful and traumatic. The leg was amputated before he travelled to the UK. Louis is a short legged dog, with a beautiful face. There is some GSD but also maybe some corgi mixed in there.Louis has lived in our home for well over 2 years and for most of that time wouldn’t allow any of us to touch him. Lead training him was a very slow process of confidence building which eventually led to Louis allowing us to touch him, which he now rather likes.Rehoming Louis will not be fast, Adopters will need to take the time to get to know him, gain his trust and give him confidence. Louis is well worth a little of your time, if you are the right person for him. He is predominantly an off lead dog, as with most three legged dogs he is more comfortable running a little / resting a little, rather than going at our consistent walking pace. He doesn’t require long walks but does bomb around while he is out.I don’t think he would do well as an only dog, dogs have been his only friends for most of his life, he is also absolutely fine with my cats.If you are patient, kind, have some experience with rescue dogs you could be the right person for our Louis.Adoption donation, Homecheck and RBU apply. You will need to agree to walk your dog in an appropriate slip lead or escape proof harness.Serious inquiries please email libdogrescue@gmail.com
