About Lewis

Handsome Lewis is looking for an experienced owner with a secure garden. He would appreciate to have company most of the time. Lewis is a very loving and active boy who needs exercise, routine and human interaction. Lewis loves to be up close to his humans. Lewis is very excited to greet visitors and is very friendly when meeting people out and about. He tends to prefer men. Lewis barks at passing dogs. Lewis has a high prey drive and wears a muzzle on walks – he will chase any small animals he sees such as cats, squirrels or livestock. Lewis does not like other large male dogs but he can be okay on a lead. He can resource guard treats. Lewis loves going to the vet clinic. He is fine with being given a bath and being brushed. Lewis is used to having access to a garden to play and run around in. He travels fine in the car and enjoys long walks. Lewis’ recall is good (if there are no small animals to chase) and he is generally good off the lead. Lewis is quite strong on the lead and would suit an experienced owner with an understanding of high-energy sporting dog breeds. He loves running in big, open, safe spaces and any kind of outdoor adventure. Lewis is very intelligent and loves to be mentally stimulated with scent work, training or puzzle toys which keep him happy and calm. Lewis is a very affectionate boy and enjoys being close to his family, he is very loyal. Routine and company mean a lot to him. The best day for him would be to have good exercise, some training and then time relaxing with his owners. Lewis’ new home must be willing to give him time and attention. If you think you would be a great new home for Lewis, please apply above for him. © 2025 Dog Aid Scotland (SCIO Charity No. SC001918) Web Design by Techincal Services Scotland. Need a website?
