Louis

Mixed Breed · Male

Please meet Louis, a terrier cross type who has come on in leaps and bounds from when he first arrived into our care and who is now looking for his new furever home. His foster mum says, “Louis is an absolute amazing little dog and a cheeky chap. He’s come so far in such a few weeks. He’s pretty good with other dogs but I feel he would benefit being an only dog or with a female dog as he can be a bit dominant over male dogs. He’s definitely a ladies’ dog, although has become very trusting with men. He absolutely adores a cuddle on the sofa and will sit for ages just being stroked and loved. He loves his toys and a ball and is happy to play on his own, but also loves his ball or toys to be thrown for him. He adores his walks now.He is pretty much house-trained, but has the occasional accident, especially if there’s shopping bag on the floor.He is crate trained and will stay in his crate overnight. He is nervous around walking sticks and brooms. He’s a bit of a thief and steals things out of bags. But he never chews his ill-gained possessions and will let you take them off him after 5 minutes or so. He can be possessive over some things but, again, can be distracted by something that seems more enticing.In all he’s a beautiful lad and just needs patience and love.He will make an absolute lovely dog and loyal companion given time, boundaries and love” HOMING INFOLouis is looking for an experienced older family, children 14+, who will not be out all day. He will need a secure garden with fencing 5ft+. New owners must be prepared to continue his training and socialising and be prepared to attend class with himEMAIL for an application form.

About Louis

What life with Louis looks like

Louis is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Futures for Dogs in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Louis, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Louis?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Futures for Dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Louis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Louis if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Futures for Dogs will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Louis already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Louis isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Futures for Dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Louis and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
