Louie is a male Pug x Shih Tzu dog in Kildare

Male Pug x Shih Tzu dog. I am extremely reluctant to rehome my best friend Louie however due to circumstances outside my control I feel that re homing him is the right thing to do.

Louie is a great dog and is very affectionate. He is house trained, great with kids, great with other dogs, good recall when off the lead, not a picky eater, is in great health and is not a barker.

I would love for Louie to find a home who is able to give him the attention he deserves.
