This is Louie. He is a 3-year-old Labrador mix who loves cheese, squeaky toys, chasing his ball, and snuggling with his person, Allie.
Allie's last relationship ended abruptly and Allie and her cat are staying with family right now. Sadly, that's not a good solution for Louie.

The household has other dogs, and Louie needs to be an "only".
So, he's still at her previous place outside the city and she's been driving out to feed, walk, and care for him every. single. day.
This is not sustainable, obviously.

Two specific reasons:
1. She's been asked to take him away as soon as possible. 2. Allie works at CHEO (the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario). Right now she, like every health care worker, is run off her feet and desperately tired. Adding a long daily round-trip is a lot.

She has a new place, but her lease doesn't start until June 1. So she reached out to us, and we are *SO* glad she did.
After a lot of discussion with Allie and between ourselves, we've made the decision to place him in foster with Dogs and Compagnie for the month.

Although this is considerably more expensive than fostering him in a home, we truly believe it's the best choice for him right now.
Louie is very nervous and submissive around strangers, especially men, and even more so around strange dogs.

Allie's been working to help him feel more confident, but while he's separated from her for the 1st time in his life, he needs an environment that won't overwhelm him.

In order to do a home foster we'd need a highly experienced person in a quiet area, w/ a yard, who didn't own & wasn't currently fostering, other dogs.

If you are that rare & wonderful person & would like to spend some time with this snuggly angel, please- get in touch!

But...

Until then, we believe that Dogs and Compagnie is the best place for him to be. They can give him the space and quiet that he needs while also giving him individual attention and help with confidence-building.
