My Story

Hi there! My name’s Luigi, and I’m a sweet and curious pup who’s looking for my forever home! I’m currently living in a foster home with two awesome foster doggy siblings, and while I’m still a little shy when meeting new people and dogs, I’m warming up every day. It’s been so exciting to learn new things and have lots of fun!

I’m a pretty playful guy, and I love treats! I can get really excited when I see one coming my way. My foster mom gave me a slow feeder bowl because I tend to eat fast, but I’m still learning to be a little more patient at mealtime. Don’t worry, I don’t protect my food or toys – I’m easy-going when it comes to sharing, whether it’s my bowl or my favorite squeaky toy.

Even though I’m a good walker, I also enjoy cuddling up on the couch and getting some quality belly rubs. I’ve even learned to sit, lay down, and come when asked (though I still need a little encouragement to do it quickly). I get a little shy when called, but I’m working on it!

I’ve also been learning how to communicate that I need to go outside for potty time. Right now, I’m watching my foster dog siblings use a training bell by the door, and I’m trying to figure it out too. Sometimes, I just give my foster mom a little nudge to let her know it’s time for a bathroom break.

I’m not a big fan of loud noises like fireworks or sirens, but I’m getting braver with every passing day. And when it comes to car rides, I’m a little hesitant at first, but once I’m inside, I’m all good! I’m also not a huge barker, just a normal, average amount of barking for me, mostly when I want to say hello.

One thing that always makes my foster mom smile is the little grunting sounds I make when I stretch or when I’m greeting them. Oh, and I have this funny habit: before I settle down for belly rubs, I’ll turn around and show my tush first. It’s my way of saying, “I’m ready for some love!”

I may be a little shy at first, but I’m growing braver every day, and I promise that I’ll be your best friend if you give me a chance. I’m just a calm, sweet, goofy puppy, and I can’t wait to find my forever home where I can be loved and share my quirky personality with you.
