Lewie is a joyful playing fool! There is absolutely NOTHING he likes better than rolling and chasing. He plays hard, he sleeps hard. Lewie is one of a pack of hound puppies unceremoniously dumped in a kill shelter in the south, most likely the result of an accidental litter. The three pups had the good fortune of a willing foster in Maryland and are now awaiting their permanent homes.

Lewie is a puppy in every way. He needs patient training to learn to walk on lead, sit, stay and potty outside. He's a smart boy and will learn quickly with positive reinforcement. He would absolutely ADORE being placed with another non-aggressive playful dog and/or playful children. He loves human attention and he was such a blur that we had a hard time snapping photos of him! Lewie would thrive in a home with a securely fenced back yard, but if you're a runner, or walk your dog exclusively, that's not a deal breaker. Those long hound legs would enjoy the opportunity to run, though. Unless you work from home we absolutely do NOT recommend a home in an apartment or condo. The exuberance and noise of a young hound will make you very unpopular with your neighbors.
