Edinburgh Pet of the Week: Old gentleman Louis looking for all the love and attention in his golden years

Could you give Louis the home he deserves at this stage of life?

12-year-old Louis is looking for a forever home to enjoy his golden years in peace.

The medium-sized Labrador cross is a lovely, old gentleman who loves to plod around at his own pace.

He still enjoys spending time chasing after a ball but needs someone to make sure he does this in moderation.

He can be a little shy at times, especially around new people, so he will need his new owners to make a few visits so he can get to know them.

He can be won over given a little time, and a doggy treat incentive works well.

He likes other dogs and enjoys seeing his doggy friends when he’s out, but he would prefer to be the only dog in his new home, so he can have his independence and enjoy his comfy bed in peace.

He can be won over given a little time, and a doggy treat incentive works well.

He finds vet visits rather stressful and the staff have been working on happy vet visits while he’s been with us, so he needs an owner who can continue with this.

Louis would like to find a forever home where he can get all the love and attention he deserves in his golden years. He would suit a home without children under 16 years old.
