Little Louie Chihuahua Mix Bakersfield, CA

Little Louie is our 'special needs' dog! Born and rescued one year ago after being rejected by his mother and left in the brutal sun . We took Louie home and nursed him through his first months. Today Louie is one year and has made great strides but still needs a home that care care and accommodate his needs. Louie is a dancer and we think his dad may have been part hyena because that boy can jump!!! Louie is environment and tactile sensitive but is learning how to accept cuddles !
There is no complete diagnosis on Louie but the vet feels there is a neurological impairment which effects his sight (depth perception) , balance and perception of his immediate space. Louies forever home must be safe for his activity and lack of self-protectiveness. Louie sees the vet on a yearly basis ... everything seems a go health-wise. He appears to be seizure free and is no longer on medication . Louie loves other dogs but because of his worldly deficits we suggest he not be in a home with a larger dog unless very, very mellow. Louie is paper trained but sometimes misses the target because of his sight. He uses the bathroom outside on a regular basis. He is create trained and sleeps in a crate at night.
Safety first for Little Louie..... to date his biggest accomplishment is conquering the stairs. He now uses stairs...... to some of us it's just a stair but to Little Louie it is Mt. Everest!!!! Louie is patiently awaiting the right home that can serve and protect him. His adoption fee is $250 which includes neuter, current shots and microchip. Home visit is required
