Louie (pictured above) is a quiet, gentle and calm, ten-year-old, 25-pound, tri-color Beagle looking for a loving guardian.

Louie was found as a stray in Chicago. He is living in a foster home where he has proven himself just fine with other dogs and cats. He enjoys attention from humans too. He likes to be brushed and is good when being bathed.

Louie enjoys going for walks, but takes it very very slow … stopping to sniff everything along the way. He is housebroken, good in the car, and follows his foster mom around like a shadow at home.

Louie has been diagnosed with Cushings disease, so he takes a small amount of medication for that and for arthritis. He would do best with adults and teens who live in a home without a lot of stairs to climb. He is otherwise healthy, had a recent dental and blood-work, neutered, up-to-date on rabies and distemper vaccines, heartworm-tested, and micro-chipped. To meet and possibly adopt Louie please contact his foster mom Brenda at bjlveggie@yahoo.com or 312-259-0077. His adoption fee of $125 supports the rescued pets of AARS. To start the adoption process, please fill out an adoption application found here.
