According to Miami-Dade Animal Services, Louie arrived at the shelter in February along with several other dogs that had been living together in overcrowded conditions.

Staff members describe the 2 to 3-year-old mixed-breed dog as sweet, affectionate and easygoing around both people and other animals.

Shelter workers say Louie enjoys attention — especially belly and back scratches — and has earned positive reviews for his calm demeanor while waiting for adoption.
