Meet Louie! (Est DOB 2023) This handsome man had an absolutely heartbreaking start to his life. He was found chained up on an abandoned rural property with 8 other dogs, and he was in terrible condition. He was heartworm positive and sadly his heart had already been through so much damage that it was starting to shut down. He had fluid in his chest and abdomen, and we didn’t know if our sweet boy was going to make it. Thankfully, one of our amazing vet partners. Dr. Farr from I35 Animal Medical Center, took on his case and started him on the right combination of medications to both clear the heartworms, and get his heart back up and running. Now, Louie is a completely different dog! He feels good, he has gained weight, and overall, he is a happy, normal pup! His road to get here was long and complicated, but he never once lost his will to live or his sweet demeanor. Louie loves nothing more than to get attention from his humans, curl up in his crate or a soft bed, play ball, or play with other dogs! He is a total sweetie through and through. We are very ready for this sweet man to find his forever place in the world, he is so deserving of a soft place to land. Louie will still have some upcoming heart scans to determine if he will need to continue his heart medication longterm, so during that time, he will stay as a medical foster while we determine what his care looks like going forward. That basically just means you provide his home and all the love and affection, we cover the cost of his food, his medicine, and his vet visits! If you have questions about Louie, please send us an email at info@freetoliveok.org, we are happy to chat about this handsome man with any interested suitors! Think Louie could be the one for you?
