Learn the adoption story of Louie!

Meet Louie❣️

Louie is the kind of dog that brings a smile to everyone’s face. Whether it’s strangers on the street, close friends, vet techs, or groomers, not a day goes by without someone saying, “What a handsome dog!” or “He’s such a little ham!” 🍖 Even more, people often say, “Cuddling him is my new therapy.”

If you’ve ever met Louie, you know he’s a true light in this world. I’m so grateful our paths crossed.

But Louie’s life didn’t start off so great...

At just 6 months old, Louie was found as a stray on the streets of Sandy, Utah. He spent the next 6 months growing up in a kennel, waiting for his forever home.

I first saw Louie on Facebook, on a local rescue page. The moment I saw his picture, I knew it was meant to be, as if the universe had known I needed him before I did. That same day, I took my other dog and family to meet him, and it was love at first sight.

Three Surgeries Later...

Since bringing Louie home, he’s had to undergo three surgeries to address some underlying health concerns. But despite everything he’s been through, Louie hasn’t let anything get him down. He remains one of the happiest dogs you’ll ever meet!

Louie has changed my life in more ways than I can count. I can’t imagine what life was like before him.

A Huge Thanks to Sandy City Animal Shelter

I’m forever grateful to the staff at Sandy City Animal Shelter for taking such good care of him before I could.
