Louie

Louie is a 15 year old dachshund/terrier mix who weighs a little over 17lbs. Louie has a long body, small legs, and the perfect grandpa sugar face. Louie may be 15 years old, but he definitely doesn't act 15. His nose works better than a puppy and he can climb on a table to get your food. You've been warned.<br/><br/>Louie loves walks, running around the yard, and eating. This guy loves to eat. He's been pretty good with the other dogs but will become defensive around food and treats so should be fed separately.<br/><br/>The most important thing to know about Louie is that he's heartworm positive. We did not know this when we took Louie in so it came as a big surprise to us when we got his bloodwork results. Because of this, Louie must stay in Rhode Island. He cannot cross state lines. Louie has finished his 4-week course of doxycycline and will be getting Advantage Multi monthly for the rest of his life. He may still show as positive for the next 9-12 months.<br/><br/>Louie has a grade 4 heart murmur but an echocardiogram did not show any concerns and no heart medications are needed at this time. Louie is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and recently had full bloodwork.<br/><br/>To apply to adopt Louie, please fill out an application at vintagepetrescue.org/adopt
